Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 16, 2024

Delinea Secret Server and One Identity Password Manager compete in the realm of security and password management solutions. Delinea Secret Server seems to have an upper hand due to its extensive feature offerings and comprehensive support for large organizations.

Features: Delinea Secret Server offers powerful secret attachments, custom templates, and session monitoring, excelling in network discovery and privileged access management. One Identity Password Manager is focused on password management, providing OTP, password synchronization, and integrations with various applications.

Room for Improvement: Delinea Secret Server could improve its session recording controls, API support, and integration with additional platforms. Its management interfaces could be more user-friendly. One Identity Password Manager needs advancements in ease of integration, customization options, and responsiveness of its support team.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Delinea Secret Server offers flexible deployment options, including on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud, but can be complex to set up.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is pretty good."

"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."

"The surveillance is most valuable."

"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."

"It is a stable solution."

"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."

"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"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."

"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."

"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."

"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."

"The solution is very customizable."

"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."

"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."

"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."

Cons

"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."

"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."

"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."

"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."

"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."

"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."

"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

"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."

"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."

"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."

"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."

"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."

"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."

"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."

"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"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."

"They are priced quite well."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."

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

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."

"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."

"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."
