Offers good session monitoring and recording features

Some options are required in the tool, especially to help in scenarios where if a user's ID gets locked, that person cannot unlock the ID from ARCON Privileged Access Management. Even the technical team in my company cannot unlock any locked ID with the help of the tool. Even if there is an admin password, ARCON Privileged Access Management releases it using its functionalities, allowing users to generate a password during an emergency. If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.

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

"Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten."

"100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user."

"We use ARCON Privileged Access Management to monitor and record our admin users' activity."

"The video logs help us to identify any misuse of privileged accounts."

"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."

"Recording all videos of commands entered into devices is highly valuable."

"The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily."

"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management pros

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

"There has been no downtime this year."

"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."

"I have found most valuable the automatic scheduled password rotation and remote desktop monitoring. Additionally, the documentation is readily available and easy to find and the dashboard is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."

"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."

"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."

"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."

Cons

"Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products."

"The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox."

"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."

"I'll provide feedback on additional features after the project is completed. I think it would be better to comment on that after the implementation is finished."

"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers."

"A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management."

"They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up."

"Managing users is difficult, so that is something that can be improved."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management cons

"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."

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

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

"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."

"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."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."

"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"I am not in a position to give any financials, but whatever we have paid, it is value for money. Their licensing model is good. They have been flexible for us."

"It is good value for our business. According to me, their competitors are more costly. Therefore, it is quite affordable. I find the ARCON to be much cheaper than the other products in the market."

"We have a subscription to use this solution."

"The product is available with competitive pricing. Licensing is not complex. We calculated the license requirements by counting the number of admins and the number of devices which were going to integrate with it."

"The cost of this product is very cheap, comparatively in the global market."

"The solution’s pricing is neither cheap nor expensive."

"ARCON Privileged Access Management's pricing is reasonable."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."

"The price of this solution is good."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
