Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 11, 2026

Delinea Secret Server and Saviynt Identity Cloud are competitors in the identity and access management space. Delinea seems to have an advantage in secret management through features like automated password rotation, while Saviynt leads in database utility and seamless integration with enterprise systems.

Features: Delinea Secret Server offers automated password rotation, session monitoring, and compliance facilitation through custom reports. Its privileged access management and network discovery capabilities stand out. Saviynt Identity Cloud boasts an intuitive user interface, robust identity governance capabilities, and seamless integration with various enterprise systems, simplifying third-party user management and report generation.

Room for Improvement: Delinea Secret Server could enhance its API integration, session recording capabilities, and support documentation. There are opportunities to improve its user interface and cloud integration features. Saviynt Identity Cloud needs to address customer customization challenges and improve log management. Resource availability for learning and strengthening privileged access management features are also areas for growth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Delinea Secret Server provides flexibility with multiple deployment options, including on-premises and hybrid clouds, and generally positive customer service, though experiences with technical support vary. Saviynt Identity Cloud excels in cloud environments and is easy to use, but it requires improved customer training and support response times, relying more on cloud solutions for scalability.

Pricing and ROI: Delinea Secret Server is perceived as pricier, offering a solid ROI through optimized security operations, despite its expensive licensing. Saviynt Identity Cloud is considered more affordable with its cloud-based model, though extra costs can incur for added features. Both products typically provide positive ROI when fully implemented, supporting security goals and operational efficiencies.

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.

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it's user-friendly."

"What I appreciate the most about Delinea Secret Server is that it is stable, I can connect fast, and the vault architecture is useful."

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

"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."

"Support is helpful."

"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."

"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."

"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"Saviynt performs well against other products in the market; it's easy to manage and easy to use, with a simple, intuitive shopping-cart-style UI for end users to request access and follow the approval process."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."

"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."

"It's overall a good thing to have everything consolidated in one place."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"While I would not classify my thoughts as dislikes, I believe there should be improvements in accessing secrets associated with web application URLs, as many users find it challenging, leading to password credential failures such as RPC issues with those secrets."

"One thing I think Delinea Secret Server can do better in the future is the RDP launcher."

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."

"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Delinea Secret Server an eight. Everything seems to be working really well, and I don't believe it would be the perfect solution, but I don't believe there is a perfect solution either."

"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."

"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."

"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."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information."

"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."

"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."

"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

"They are priced quite well."

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
