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.

A reliable solution with great password and session management

The setup process depends on the environment of the customer. It's not dependent on the solution. For customers with normal use cases and scenarios, it's a straightforward implementation, but for a customer with more than one environment, they may have BeyondTrust in one environment and Safeguard in another one. When they want to consolidate later, there may be complications. It depends on the devices and assets they would like to have under their PAM solution. The standard time for implementation is four weeks. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There needs to be a dedicated resource for maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Its technical support is good."

"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."

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

"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"Privileged Access Suite's best feature is it's straightforward to use."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to use."

"The most valuable features are session and password management."

Cons

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

"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."

"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."

"There could be tweaks here and there. For example, instead of going to one main function to do this and another main function to do that, the solution could remap the user interface so that a person only has to go through one function. The way that function branches off should make a bit more sense."

"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."

"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."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"Product management should be improved."

"There is a new trend of not having any privileged users or accounts."

"Privileged Access Suite's interface could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

"They are priced quite well."

"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

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