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."

"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."

"There has been no downtime this year."

"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."

"The solution is good."

"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."

"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."

"I like that it's user-friendly."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"Deployment is very quick, and only a one-time installation process is required for ManageEngine PAM360."

"Our clients use this solution for the rotation of keys and passwords. It is a part of logs."

"We can use it remotely as well."

"PAM360 stands out due to its remote session recording capabilities, which allow us to track who accessed which server and identify any changes."

"ManageEngine PAM360 is an easy-to-use solution with competitive pricing compared to brands like Delinea and CyberArk."

Cons

"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 don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."

"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."

"Its remote support feature needs improvement."

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."

"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."

"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."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"If you want a cost effective solution and very competitive pricing, you should go with this product."

"I don't see any features associated with multi-factor authentication in ManageEngine PAM360."

"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."

"It should have better documentation about how to install, work and configure."

"ManageEngine PAM360 could benefit from more automation activities and a user interface change."

"I would rate the scalability at five out of ten. It's average."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."

"They are priced quite well."

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

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"The price of this solution is good."

"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."

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

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"The product is less expensive than one of its competitors."

"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."
