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.

Works with SCTP, STTPS, SQL, and MySQL protocols

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

"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."

"I prefer Thycotic because of the security, the fact that it is easy to administer, and the features."

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

"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database."

"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."

"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."

"I have been a proud Thycotic Secret Server customer since 2008."

"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."

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."

"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."

"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."

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

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

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

"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."

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

Cons

"Availability of technical support has always been a concern."

"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."

"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."

"The licensing costs are expensive for this solution."

"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."

"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors."

"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."

"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

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

"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."

"Professional training and certification would be great."

"The stability is not very good."

"Professional training and certification would be great."

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

"The configuration is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."

"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."

"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."

"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
