Avinash Gopu. - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
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. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

Offers security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed
There are a couple of things. One is the BreachWatch feature. It's one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords. So, it checks the passwords and helps improve them. There's also a security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed. Some people haven't changed their passwords for months, even though applications force them to change every 45 or 90 days. So you can catch those issues and warn them. Most applications allow for rotation, but some don't. I've seen people use the same password for years. At least Keeper tells us these passwords haven't been rotated, and we can warn them to change them manually since we can't force people to change the password.

"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"BreachWatch feature is one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords."
 

Cons

"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime. Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"The final implementation was challenging because we had to roll it out to three different departments within the same umbrella, each with its own domains."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"They are priced quite well."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"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 rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"It's good value for money."
