Delinea has a distributed engine deployed on the customer's premises, communicating securely over a CTP protocol. Every customer communication will be enabled to secret servers through this distributed engine or a remote access solution engine. Without this deployed on the customer's premises, access to the customer enrollment will not work seamlessly, or it might not be available. We expect the solution API-based, but even if it's API-based, it will go through custom scripts. A key highlight is that Delinea is nothing but Thycotic and Centrify combined as a ready-to-market adoption. Delinea is ISO 2700 and CSA Star certified. If you want a ready-to-market adoption with security and compliance in place, you are good to go with Delinea. And any customization for ticketing integration needs a detailed working session with a professional servicer. I rate Delinea Secret Server a nine out of ten.

I would rate the tool a nine out of ten. I would recommend using the solution. It has many features like password management. You need to also evaluate the vendor before finalizing the product.

I would tell potential users to keep customization flexible using the power shell. This is a good one. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Delinea Secret Server a nine.

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.

I rate the solution seven out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided and limiting notifications to mainly major updates.

We are the partner of Delinea. We are a reseller, and we have deployed for six clients already in Bangladesh there are many more POC contacts in the works for different customers. I am working with the latest update of the solution. I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

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.

I would tell potential users that they should focus on local partners with a local support team. This is becasue Delinea can't resolve the issues these days. I have seen a lot of cases in Bangladesh where the OEM can't resolve the issues. The application server is full of logs, and sometimes it needs to clear all the logs and files because it can become slow. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Delinea Secret Server a six.

I rate Delinea Secret Server 10 out of 10. If your customer uses a privileged access solution, they need to sort all the passwords. They should do a session recording and change the password, then do workflow delegation. Delinea can do it all, so I strongly recommend it.

I haven't tested many other products, but this one appears to be quite good. I believe it is comparable in the industry. I haven't used this solution a lot, just in a demo capacity. I haven't explored all that it can office. I have worked on the integration with our Active Directory, and we set up the server. I would rate Thycotic Secret Server an eight out of ten.

It is a kind of self-serving advice, but I would advise getting a partner to deploy it for you. There are a lot of really good partners out there, not just us. In terms of the maturity of their product, there are a lot of Enterprise capabilities that they haven't yet brought into the market, but after it has been called out to them that there is a customer who needs a capability, they're very quick and responsive around doing development to get that capability in, which is something I like. There was an Enterprise scalability capability where you have high availability and multi-site failover. One of the versions that they had back in the 2018 and 2019 timeframe did not support that capability. We called out some recommendations to them, and they had it in the product in the next major revision. I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a 10 out of 10 because I am not familiar with any products that are capable of going on-prem and have a superior function set.

I would not recommend this product. I would not because the basic functionality is okay, but we need some API access to use KPI (Key Performance Indicator) properly. We also need to automate some stuff using this secure vault. Attempting to do that is almost impossible because of the low quality of the API. Me, speaking as a lead DevOps, I would not recommend it for this office. It is not the best choice for what we need. On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate this product differently depending on what level or type of user is using the product. For the DevOps purposes, my rating would be zero. Each year it is less competitive and it can not be justified for the price. In general, for end-users, I do not know. They are not exposed to the development end so I think they might give it a five-out-of-ten.

Before suggesting or implementing a solution, getting the customer requirements is the most important, for example, whether they have an isolated site or multiple sites and whether the bandwidth between sites is sufficient. This solution is for big and medium-to-big enterprises. Small enterprises won't require Thycotic Secret Server because you need a certain number of administrators, at least 10, and enough secrets to justify it. I don't think small enterprises can afford it. It will be great if they can scale down the cloud version, in terms of the pricing and other things, to accommodate small enterprises. Currently, they are more focused on big enterprises. The Hong Kong market has a lot of small enterprises, so if they can accommodate or maybe cater specifically to the Hong Kong market, it will be great. I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a nine out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Thycotic as probably a nine. That is only because I have to rank them slightly lower after we decided to make the switch to CyberArk, and replacing a product that is a ten would not make a lot of sense. So a nine-out-of-ten it is. Thycotic is a product that is so friendly that it can be used by nearly anyone and everyone, and that is a good place to be. As for the limitations in a very large environment, Thycotic could invest in making changes in the product to handle structuring in a segmented way. It would be costly for Thycotic to make that investment, but for Healthcare as a user group, that would have been the difference. We have already bought another product, so we are not going to change our minds again, but it may be worth considering for the team at Thycotic. I would probably recommend Thycotic for most businesses because it is simpler and easier to deal with than CyberArk. So really, I would recommend it to all businesses except for the extremely large ones.

I have a lot of hands-on experience with the solution and I present it to customers and do all the POCs for them. I'd recommend the solution and advise others to look at cloud options, as most companies are moving to the cloud anyway right now. It's flexible, so users can deploy it both on-prem or on the cloud. There are lots of great custom features and network monitoring capabilities. You can also patch the privileged behavior and it will, on the fly, give you nice digital printouts with privileged behavior also. If your system admin or one of your admins suddenly acts strangely, even at 2 AM on a Sunday, it will flag that because that's not normal behavior. That's due to the fact it has a lot of powerful machine learning built into the solution as well. The endpoint application control of the privileged manager is powerful because of the authorizations, etc. The privileged manager can ensure that you actually are able to manage everything very well - everything from user privileges to admin. You can even escalate items easily. I'd rate it nine out of ten, just because there's always room for improvement. However, for my purposes, it's a fantastic solution.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is to first understand their requirements and then define the scope before implementing it. The reason is that once deployed, there is a lot of integration into the existing environment. This is a product that I would recommend. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

In general, I would recommend the product. It's very good and is cheaper than CyberArk. It's something that a team leader or project manager would take into consideration because even the cost of the license is something to keep in mind when planning a project. It really depends on the company's requirements.

The biggest challenge with this solution is the usability. You should have your end customers try out different things, find out which product they prefer, and pick that. I would rate the product at seven out of ten. The usability is very bad which makes it difficult for end-users to use. They complain about putting secrets in it.
