Reena Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Remote session recording enhances server access tracking while dashboard needs improvement
PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes. The automation system is very smart, although its interface is not as sophisticated as those of Dynatrace or FortiFEM. A critical advantage is its flexibility and security, providing stability across our client interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Support is helpful."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"Password checkout and the ability to change a password after checkin are the most valuable features."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good."
"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."
"Thycotic is a product that is so friendly that it can be used by nearly anyone and everyone, and that is a good place to be."
"I prefer Thycotic because of the security, the fact that it is easy to administer, and the features."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."
"We can use it remotely as well."
"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."
"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."
"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."
"My advice would be, if you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"Attempting to do that is almost impossible because of the low quality of the API."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"There could be improvement in latency and accessing resources for the product."
"PAM360's dashboard needs improvement for clearer presentations, similar to ManageEngine products like AD audit plus and Password Manager Plus, which offer a clearer picture."
"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."
"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."
"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"They are priced quite well."
"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."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"Though I don't have the exact numbers related to the cost of the solution, I can say that it costs somewhere around INR 7,00,000 for ten licenses."
"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."
