Sentiment score
7.0
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's support is responsive with knowledgeable staff, but PAM cases may experience delays.
When I faced issues integrating custom applications with Delinea Secret Server, the support from their deployment partner was inadequate.
Technical support from Delinea is good.
I have contacted Delinea support for an issue where Secret Server logs off when the IP address is not secure, and I received a great response from the service.
The support for PAM is not very prompt as it requires logging a case first and responses can take a day or two.

Sentiment score
6.7
Users report varied experiences with ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's scalability, noting both challenges and effective use in expanding data centers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Delinea Secret Server is reliable and stable, with minor issues quickly resolved, earning high user satisfaction ratings.
Sentiment score
8.9
Users find ManageEngine Password Manager Pro stable, reliable, easy to recover, and praise its performance and dependability.
Delinea Secret Server can be considered as a stable and reliable for most enterprise use cases, especially in vaulting and privileged access management.
The stability is less than ideal since it updates to our console can take around six to ten hours.
 

Room For Improvement

Delinea Secret Server requires improvements in interface, integration, security, automation, support, access, and cost-effectiveness to enhance user experience.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro needs user interface improvements and affordable pricing, catering mainly to tech-savvy users with limited support.
Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers.
When it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server.
Certain features like the Remote Access Service (RAS) Engine and syncing with directory services may still have bugs or limitations.
Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days.
 

Setup Cost

Delinea Secret Server's pricing is seen as costly by some, competitive by others, with flexible licensing options available.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cost-effective for enterprises, with a 25,000 rands fee, compared favorably to competitors.
The price of Delinea Secret Server is okay, however, the solution is considered expensive when compared to others.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before.
 

Valuable Features

Delinea Secret Server offers seamless integration, robust security features, and GRC capabilities for compliance, appealing to IT admins and users.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro provides secure, user-friendly password management with strong features, direct machine login, and auditing capabilities.
The biggest benefit of Delinea Secret Server would be the remote password change and discovery, which are a major help for the management of the accounts.
Delinea Secret Server doesn't offer any exceptional features; most solutions have similar capabilities such as automatic password rotation, activity log monitoring, and activity log auditing.
The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable.

Featured Reviews

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.
