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.

An easy-to-use tool that offers its users strong security on the password management front
In my company, we use the solution's dictionary rule to see the availability of passwords or for the integration to other external systems with two-factor authentication The most valuable feature of the solution is that it's a standard product to help our customers implement a solution and to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its technical support is good."
"It works for us."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"The solution is very customizable."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"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."
"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."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell, and One Identity is under Quest. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"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."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"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."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
