Offers good session monitoring and recording features
I use the solution in my company since the product is very good. In one of the use cases attached to the solution, I remember that an ID got locked after being unable to unlock the ID three or four times as per company policy. As per the organization's policy, if you try to run a password three or…

Very cost-effective and provides secure access to environments
It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems. We must contact professional service support. We do not have any control over it since it is a SaaS solution. We must go through Delinea’s PS team for all the integrations. We provide the requirements, the thought process, and the ideology of the workflow. However, it can be executed only by the PS team because we don't have any control or access to the application. As a SaaS consumer, I cannot do any custom scripting into the application. The PS team does all the customizations we require. The solution must improve the technical support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"Video and audio logs are there for any activities that the privileged admin carries out."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"The initial setup was very simple. There was only one server we had to setup. We needed to store all the passwords, and a secure database is used."
"The most valuable feature is it is easy to use and the interface is intuitive."
"They don't just stick to a base version; instead, they actively enhance and improve it based on client feedback and industry trends."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"Logging, particularly screen recording for Windows RDP sessions. Also, command-logging for SSH sessions. This really helps us to see what commands/changes have been executed in a particular service at a given point of time, and by whom."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
 

Cons

"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"The auto-password change feature which was recently added. It is supposed to change the password. However, in some cases, while changing the password, it has caused me to lose to connection due to network-related issues or something similar. What we need to have is a type of log for failure of password change."
"Currently, we can manage only the SSH or RDP connections, but there are many more devices that are present, apart from our SSH and RDP. We want all this to be part of the ARCON solution. For the password management, they should increase the pool of supported devices, they should have more connectors."
"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."
"One common problem I faced with ARCON PAM was compatibility issues with certain software versions."
"It should support the SQL Always On platform with FQDN name instead of IP."
"If you take Microsoft hypervisor - which comes with its own interface, its own web layer, etc. - something like that also requires privileged IDs. As per our institution policy now, everything has to come through ARCON. We have demanded that these kind of advanced features also should be there."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
"I definitely feel the product's pricing is a good value. It is one of the best products we have. The licensing is server-based."
"The cost of this product is very cheap, comparatively in the global market."
"The product's pricing is good value. Go for user-based licensing, without any limit on the target servers."
"The product's pricing is a good value. It's appropriately priced. The product has all the required features. It doesn't work in some of the areas but, right now overall, it's pretty good."
"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

It depends on the weightage of the granular features you are looking for in your PAM solution. Do you need a PAM solution across your network devices, servers & even endpoints?
