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

"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 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."

"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."

"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."

"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."

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

"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."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"The solution is very customizable."

"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."

"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."

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

"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."

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

Cons

"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."

"Its remote support feature needs improvement."

"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."

"When Delinea upgrades the tool, it rejects our password, saying that it is not compliant and strong."

"As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."

"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"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."

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

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

"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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."
