Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

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 most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"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."
"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"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 think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"They are priced quite well."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
