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 is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities.""The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward.""The solution is good.""The GUI interface is well-designed and 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 is session monitoring.""Technical support is pretty good.""The surveillance is most valuable."

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance.""The solution's technical support team is helpful.""WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN.""The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning.""Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us.""I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

Cons
"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers.""The solution could be more user-friendly.""We find the documentation hard to understand.""The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM.""It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does.""It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server.""Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution.""In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."

More Delinea Secret Server Cons →

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model.""The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well.""There could be more automation features for the solution.""The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions.""It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time.""The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low.""For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It isn't terribly expensive."
  • "The price of this solution is good."
  • "The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
  • "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."
  • "Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
  • "There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
  • "There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
  • "They are priced quite well."
