We performed a comparison between Delinea Secret Server and HashiCorp Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"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."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"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."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"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's initial setup process is complicated."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
