Delinea Secret Server Valuable Features
Avinash Gopu.
Associate VP & Cyber Security Specialist at US Bank
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications.
Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us.
We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly.
Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times.
Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

We find the initial setup to be simple.
It's scalable.
The stability is great.

Support is helpful.
Account discovery and asset discovery is easier in Delinea than in other solutions.

Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network.

It provides holistic Secret management for PAM solutions. We can have control over our network secrets and be sure that access to your critical servers isn't gained haphazardly by anyone on your network. It also helps with compliance with security standards for privileged devices. It offers a safer, more secure environment for reporting and implementation of secrets. When it comes to managing critical servers and sandboxes, like Ascentia access, you can easily manage them and put proper identity governance across all of them. This applies to both internal and external users, including third-party vendors.

One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals. For example, if one person approves something, it can be set up so that others must confirm it as well.

The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate.

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.

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.

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.

Director / Engineer at Provincia
The most valuable aspects were its ease of use because the software is monolithic, so you only have to install the web services and then there's a database, so it's very easy to use and to configure. There are no further modules so installation is simple as is configuration. There are a lot of features out of the box. That was an interesting aspect.

I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere.
I like the fact that you don't have to have separate databases for each department in your organization.
They have one central location, that they all go to it.
They all go to the same central location. If they leave, we can disable their account, reset their password, and integrate it with our Active Directory.
At this early stage, and based on my demo experience over the last two weeks, it appears to have more features than we require, but we can grow into it.
It's a great product. It seems that you could do your privileged access and things like that where you do the IEM. You could also make it so that those individuals have access for a set period of time to do their administration. These are the types of features we haven't really used, but I can see them being very useful. I can also see where they're going with this product, which is an all-in-one solution.
It appears to be well-developed.

- Heart beats – it tells me when passwords on file are no longer working. This could be an oversight, but could also be a sign of hacker activity.
- Secret Expiry – reports on passwords that haven’t been changed and may be out of policy.
- Remote Password Changing – along with Secret Expiry, this enables me to stay compliant with password change policies.
- Network Discovery – scans networked machines for accounts, bringing machines in to password policy compliance, and uncovering unknown or backdoor accounts. It also enables the discovery of the total reach of an account, i.e. a service account for which you dare not change the password as you don’t fully know the implications of missing an instance of the account that could fail critical operations.

One of the best things about Thycotic is that it is very easy-to-use. It is logical, it has well-designed screens and a nice GUI interface. It has good performance and is generally a pleasure to operate.

The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization.

The session monitoring and session recording aspects of the solution are valuable to us. The fact that, as a support, you can actually monitor sessions on the fly is really helpful. A lot of sessions are live. Therefore, if anything happens within the session, there is an alert, and the security can terminate the session.
The fact that you can go back to any other session according to user or sequence, is quite useful. You can get a nice audit of the recording sessions. It's quite deep and quite useful.
Users are able to whitelist commands. It's very helpful.
The solution provides security for certain tasks as well. There's also regression on items like passwords.
The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward.
The reporting is very powerful.
