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.

Self-service password reset has transformed support and now frees IT to focus on strategic work
While One Identity Password Manager is a strong solution, there are definitely a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools. Improving the UI would enhance user adoption and the overall experience. The second area is performance and stability. In some cases, performance can be slow, and there have been instances where updates occasionally cause stability issues. A more reliable upgrade process would definitely improve confidence in the product. The third area is integration complexity. Although it integrates well with systems such as Active Directory, integrating with other platforms can sometimes be complex. Having more out-of-the-box connectors or simpler integration options would be beneficial. Overall, One Identity Password Manager is a reliable enterprise solution, but improving usability, performance, and integration flexibility would make it even more competitive in today's market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's stability is flawless; it's very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The solution is scalable."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model, is the most valuable feature."
"The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization."
"When making a decision about which solution to purchase, it often comes down to a choice between Thycotic and CyberArk, and the cost and features one gets with the latter provides a little more value and saves money in the process, although the former is somewhat easier to deploy and to get up and running."
"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."
"It allows end-users to reset their password by generating a one-time password (OTP) that they receive on their mobile; they're not dependent on the help desk and can do self-service from anywhere in the world, so if they're traveling, they can still reset or change the password and are not locked out of their account at any given time."
"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."
"The initial setup of One Identity Password Manager is easier than other solutions."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"The ROI is clearly visible in terms of reduced support costs, improved efficiency, and better user productivity."
"The solution is very customizable."
 

Cons

"The main concern is that Delinea Secret Server is not suitable for modern technology."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk."
"The setup for this solution is complex."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors."
"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."
"One Identity Password Manager can be improved with a more modern user interface, better reporting and analytics capabilities, and simpler integration workflows for some third-party systems, while faster customization and more cloud-focused features would also improve the overall experience."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"One thing we noticed is that the user interface and overall experience could be more modern and intuitive."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"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."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"If One Identity Password Manager was providing good support I would not have as many complaints as I am. We are a reseller and we have our own technical team, they try to do the level one support, but customers are starting to complain, which means that you don't have the right support."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are priced quite well."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"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."
