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.

Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows
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."
"In the end, the cost, features, and ease of deployment simply beat the competition."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"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."
"Support is helpful."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The benefits and positive impacts I have seen from Delinea Secret Server on my company include having centralized secret management, log monitoring, an audit log on the command execution on the system, and it has programmable API customization."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"It is also very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"The API is no good."
"In terms of stability, I would say, yes and no. We had some issues regarding the size of the disk space, which was a Thycotic side issue."
"Availability of technical support has always been a concern."
"The biggest challenge with this solution is the usability."
"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."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"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 customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"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."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
