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.

With a great support team and stability, the tool also offers scalability to its users
The initial setup was easy. One just needs to write the initial configuration. Then, in senhasegura's cloud applications, you can use it. I just deploy it in PoC environments or demo environments and not for production. Hence, it takes much less time than I imagine when comparing its deployment in production. I think it can be deployed in two or three days. My company has partnered with senhasegura. We just downloaded the main machine for virtual use. Then, we get the key to install it. Before, you just need to try the general configuration. Then, you will have the web applications ready. Then, you can just discover the accounts or any devices that you want to manage the accounts and manage the credentials.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It reduces the risk of secrets being stored in insecure locations, and enables us to share, control, and rotate the secrets."
"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"The zero-trust PIN is a great feature of the solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."
"Delinea Secret Server can be improved as we find some bugs and it sometimes takes a little bit of time for them to get resolved when we go to support."
"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"The biggest challenge with this solution is the usability."
"In Linux credential discovery was a bit hard, but after Senhasegura's latest update, it is much easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"They are priced quite well."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"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."
"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."
