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.

Granular access controls and real-time session oversight have strengthened our compliance posture
I find the session recording feature of senhasegura Session Management awesome compared to BeyondTrust. Regarding automation in senhasegura Session Management, when configured properly, if you have done anything wrong, you will get an alert message stating that we need to do something because it is a dangerous situation, and it will not accept any wrong configuration until it is perfect. With reporting, senhasegura Session Management real-time reporting assists organizations in handling compliance violations as they are already compliant with the NCA, National Cyber Authority, and they have received the green signal for them. I assess the effectiveness of senhasegura Session Management in implementing granular access control as very good. I have found that they made it very easy to configure. There is no issue; anyone with a basic knowledge of IT can implement senhasegura Session Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"Delinea Secret Server is robust, and the solution provides value-added security for sensitive credentials."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"Before this solution, people had their own passwords stored in different areas and when something was needed we could not find the right person that had the right password, which meant quite a lot in migration scenarios, but with this solution, everyone knew what tools to use and where to put the password and who gives access to that password and then we could have reports on who has access to different passwords so that we could do audits."
"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."
"The biggest benefit of Delinea Secret Server would be the remote password change and discovery, which are a major help for the management of the accounts."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"Thycotic Secret Server is a good solution for what it does."
"I trust senhasegura Session Management and believe that every customer and partner trusts the product; definitely, they will grow on the product."
 

Cons

"We have had issues with stability in the past, although technical support has always been able to help us to fix them."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"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."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"What I dislike about Delinea Secret Server is that every time I open it, it asks for the password."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"Support is one of the drawbacks or weak points I have noticed in senhasegura Session Management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
