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.

There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"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."
"The benefits and positive impacts I have seen from Delinea Secret Server on my company include having centralized secret management, log monitoring, an audit log on the command execution on the system, and it has programmable API customization."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"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."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
 

Cons

"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"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."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"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."
"The stability is not very good."
"The configuration is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
