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.

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 solution is scalable."

"What I like best about this product is the interface."

"The biggest benefit of Delinea Secret Server would be the remote password change and discovery, which are a major help for the management of the accounts."

"Support is helpful."

"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."

"Its technical support is good."

"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."

"There has been no downtime this year."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

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

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

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

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

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

"They could improve the container platform and SPO."

"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. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations."

"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."

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

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

"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

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

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

"Product management should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

"The price of this solution is good."

"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."

"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."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
