Featured Reviews

Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at MICRODYN AG
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.
Reena Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Quality Analyst at YASH Technologies
Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access
I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."
"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."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"Its technical support is good."
"The technical support services are excellent."
 

Cons

"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"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."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"The main concern is that Delinea Secret Server is not suitable for modern technology."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"This product provides value for money."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"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."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"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."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
