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.

With its extension, I can quickly access login information without opening a new browser window
Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else. I can only remember one or two outages with IT Glue. With Passportal, it gets frustrating when you need to reset a password for a client, and you have to put their global admin address in there because what you're doing requires admin privileges. But you can't get in there because Passportal isn't working, and the password might be a 48-character password. If it's down for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes — that's too long. It's a real inconvenience. It doesn't happen all the time, but I've been at this job two months, and it's probably happened three or four times. I don't like this. I'm used to having it right at my fingertips. I need access now. With the influx of tickets coming in and time management, it needs to be like that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The surveillance is most valuable."
"It reduces the risk of secrets being stored in insecure locations, and enables us to share, control, and rotate the secrets."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"It is a stable solution."

"Thycotic is a product that is so friendly that it can be used by nearly anyone and everyone, and that is a good place to be."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."

"I like Passportal's extensions; you can click the particular company you want and go through all the passwords and usernames associated with that company or the specific webpage you're on or their server or whatever, which is a whole lot faster because I don't have to open up a new browser or use my bookmark or anything like that."

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
"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."
"As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned."
"I rate customer service and support a zero out of ten. We reached out to them to solve an issue, and they hung up on us."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"My only negative thing to say about Thycotic would involve the servicing not having been written for 2019."
"Passportal's stability is okay. However, it goes down a little too often for me to recommend it to somebody else."
