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.

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

"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"The solution is good."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"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."
"Number one is the password vault; it's very good. Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security."
"Its technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime. Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
