Avinash Gopu. - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."
"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"The solution is very customizable."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
"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."
"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 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

"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"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."
"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 terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"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."
"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."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are priced quite well."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"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."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"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."
"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."
