Delinea Secret Server Reviews

We have implemented the product in our system environment and configured it extensively to manage privileged accounts and enhance security.

The solution's session recording and discovery features have been valuable for us in securing our privileged accounts.

One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application, as it currently requires manual command-line configurations.

I have been working with Delinea Secret Server for one year.

I rate the stability as a nine.

I would rate the product scalability as a nine, as it has effectively scaled to meet our growing needs. 

Our clients range from small to medium-sized businesses.

The technical support services are excellent. 

The initial setup process is easy, around eight on a scale of one to ten. The deployment process took approximately six months.

Delinea Secret Server has provided a return on investment by significantly enhancing our security operations, particularly in managing privileged accounts.

Compared to other solutions like Centrify, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side.

I would rate the platform as a seven. 

We use Delinea Secret Server as a PAM solution. It helps us to check, rotate, and store passwords. 

We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time. 

The tool's most valuable feature is robust audit logging. 

Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting. 

I have been working with the product for three years. 

I rate Delinea Secret Server's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten. 

I have had limited exposure to CyberArk. 

We can see ROI when we use the product to its full capacity. 

The tool's pricing is expensive. 

Delinea Secret Server is superior to CyberArk. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

We are selling this solution. Different customers have different use cases for it, which vary from our own. We do not use it for our organization; rather, we deploy and configure it for our customers to whom we sell it.

I have large-scale clients.

The most valuable feature is the user experience. The platform offers a native user experience, which means that users don't have to change their behavior or install any additional software or agents.

Moreover, Delinea manages the secrets, not the assets.

An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers. This integration would help in scanning for transfers and determining if they are one-way or not, and whether they contain values. Additionally, there is a need to enforce the copy-based policy across all secrets in the Delinea Secret Server platform, instead of having it as a personal configuration.

I have been using this solution for seven years. I am currently working with the latest version.

I would rate stability an eight out of ten.

I would rate scalability a ten out of ten.

The customer service and support was really good. 

Positive

The initial setup is really easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

It took one month to deploy. The process was straightforward and only one person was required to deploy the solution.

The pricing model is within the market average. I would rate it a three out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and zero is very cheap.

I would advise people to use cloud-version because it has more features.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We provide Thycotic Secret Server as well as use it.

Thycotic Secret Server is used for data security.

The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model, is the most valuable feature.

Some of the features need improvement.

Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment.

I have been working with Thycotic Secret Server for three or four years.

For the most part, Thycotic Secret Server is stable.

Thycotic Secret Server is relatively scalable. Scalability is good, but it does have its limitations. It's scalable to an extent.

Availability of technical support has always been a concern.

I have used several products, such as Beyond Trust, and CyberArk.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I can't give you an estimate, as it has been a while since we had an installation, but it was straightforward.

It takes half a day to install.

We have a team of three people to maintain this solution.

Most customers opt for a yearly license. I don't believe that I have seen anyone pays on a monthly basis.

I would recommend this solution if it aligned with their use cases.

I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for automatic password rotation and managing system admin and database access.

The solution's most valuable feature is video recording. It is crucial for evidence and compliance purposes.

The solution's remote support feature needs improvement.

The solution is stable.

We have 30 solution users in our organization. They include system, network, and database administrators.

The solution's technical support is good.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is easy.

The solution is low-cost than other vendors. We purchase a yearly subscription for it.

The solution has all the essential features to secure any environment. I rate it an eight.

The team password vault is valuable.

The customer service and support team could be improved, and the solution could be more user-friendly.

We have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 200 users are using it in our organization.

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.

Negative

I was not a part of the initial setup process.

I rate the pricing six out of ten.

I rate the solution a four out of ten. The solution is good, but there is a lot of room for improvement. The UI and the customer service and support team could be improved. I advise new users to have patience with support and be careful when purchasing licenses because if they mix up their licenses, it would be challenging to get them fixed, and they may have an outage.

We use Delinea Secret Server for password rotations for end-point access.

The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management.

Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better.

I have been using Delinea Secret Server for approximately six months.

The stability of the Delinea Secret Server is okay, but other solutions are better, such as BeyondTrust.

Delinea Secret Server is scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 end-users using this solution.

I have not contacted the support from Delinea Secret Server.

The initial setup of the Delinea Secret Server is easy. The installation and other processes take approximately three to four hours.

There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server.

My company decided to use this solution because of its privileged access management.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Delinea Secret Server a ten out of ten.

Our clients use this solution to manage privileged accounts, meaning their administrative accounts. Whether it's active directories, co-banking solutions, or databases, the solution will take over all the privileged accounts on the network or in the infrastructure. 

Number one is the password vault; it's very good. It helps our clients avoid having a lot of passwords out there.

Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security. They also integrate with service providers. Let's say I'm having Microsoft take a look at the active directory or something that went wrong. I can give them one-time access, and once they're done, the session ends and they don't have access to it anymore. These features are very helpful for my customers.

The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it.

I have been working with this solution for about five years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Since I'm speaking as a system security engineer, most of the time we're able to solve any problems the customers have, unless there's a software problem that needs to go to the software development team at Thycotic, but most of the time there are no issues.

On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I would say that the ease of deployment by a novice would be around a one or two, while a skilled engineer could deploy it around a three or four.  

Licensing depends on a lot of factors, but once they do the proper scoping for you I don't think their pricing is that bad. This is a privileged access management solution, so yes it's expensive, but if the scoping is done right, I think you get a return on your internal investment.

Like most of these solutions, it depends on the engineer who comes and sets it up the first time. If it is done correctly and they integrate the different systems correctly, it'll work fine within your environment and you shouldn't have any issues. Administration of the solution is easy once it is set up. 

I prefer Thycotic because of the security, the fact that it is easy to administer, and the features. I think it has very, very good features, so I'd recommend Thycotic over CyberArk and the rest.

When considering a privileged access management solution, I would advise people to do their homework and find out about the features. People get solutions for different reasons, and the plan is not as straightforward as it would be with a firewall where you know what you want to block or control. Do your homework because it's an expensive solution, regardless of who you're buying it from. Find out what features it has, and make sure that the features work for you so you don't buy an expensive solution just to have it parked.

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten.
