Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access

I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

Easy to install but needs to provide better server management and organization

I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server. Working with 100 or 200 server installations is comfortable, but not thousands. The scalability isn't very good because it's complicated. I would like more organization. For instance, they could add a table that matches an account to many servers at once. There could also be better education services. They don't have any certification program, at least in Ukraine, so the training is complicated and divided into different pieces. Cisco, for example, has a great education program that starts from the basics and progresses to advanced features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."

"Number one is the password vault; it's very good. Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security."

"The technical support services are excellent."

"It is a stable solution."

"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."

"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."

"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."

"The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."

"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."

"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."

"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."

"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."

Cons

"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."

"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."

"We had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."

"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."

"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."

"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"The configuration is difficult."

"The stability is not very good."

"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."

"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."

"Professional training and certification would be great."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."

"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
