We performed a comparison between Delinea Secret Server and Symantec Privileged Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"The interface is very friendly, colorful, and bold."
"It is great for identity governance."
"The DB clustering is a really good benefit of using CA PAM."
"It reduces the viral attacks on my website. It also allows certain users access to see what happens daily."
"We have received good support from the tech support team."
"We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues."
"It will provide us with more security."
"The product is very scalable in terms of concurrent sessions that it can handle at a time, number of device it can support, accounts that it can manage, or number of nodes that you can deploy in a cluster."
"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"I’m no fan of Java as an application front-end, as it tends to have issues depending on what browser one’s using."
"The management console could be improved."
"It's difficult to locate the reports, there are limits on what reports can be run from the GUI, and the report formats are lacking."
"What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience."
"The service account management functionality needs to be extended to application pools, SQL database, PowerShell scripts, service account discovery, etc."
"I would like this solution to be simpler. It should have a one-click access that works together with AWS."
"An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username."
"Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way."
