Very secure for storing passwords, keys, and secrets
1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work 1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet. There is a function for that, but it's not very good or useful for me. I haven’t faced any…

Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
 

Cons

"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"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."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"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."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."
