Robust credential management has improved security and simplifies privileged access control
I would characterize common frustrations related to Delinea Secret Server rather than using the term dislike. One area is the complexity for the administrative part. While it is straightforward in core values, configuring advanced policies, custom templates, and other areas including discovery scans and detailed reporting have a steep learning curve and may require extra training. The user interface and terminology present another challenge. Some users feel that the user interface can feel dated or overly complex, with terminology around secrets and folder structures taking time to master. Pricing perception is another point where some costs are mixed, while many others find Delinea Secret Server more affordable and flexible than tier one competitors. However, smaller teams still view enterprise licensing as a significant investment. I have observed poor technical support, particularly in multiple reviews. The support can be slow, limited, and sometimes unhelpful when troubleshooting complex configurations or stability issues. Aggressive or untransparent sales practices also present a concern. Some customers on G2 have cited frustrations with hidden costs, such as unexpected EC2 instance fees and core features being unbundled or oversold during contract negotiation. Complex implementation and setup is another significant challenge. The initial configuration, deployment, and managing advanced policies or connectors requires specialized expertise that most organizations do not have, and the steep learning curve compounds this issue. Users transitioning to the cloud-hosted version frequently complain that the updated interface and permissions structure feel slow and problematic compared to the legacy on-premise setup. Integration and API challenges represent the final area of concern. The platform points out challenges with API tokenization and external system integration, and the lack of documentation is one of the key points I would highlight. This limitation affects the ability to integrate with external systems effectively.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The surveillance is most valuable."
"It has significantly helped with staff productivity because it's a less manual process now."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a 10 out of 10 because I am not familiar with any products that are capable of going on-prem and have a superior function set."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."
"Very occasionally indexes won’t contain all the search results expected."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"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."
"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."
"We have had issues with stability in the past, although technical support has always been able to help us to fix them."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
