Justin Glasscock - PeerSpot reviewer
You can connect to a system without end-user interaction.
I would say setting up the cloud version was fairly straightforward. BeyondTrust stood up the application and then handed it over just kind of blank, the company at the time did not want to pay the implementation cost. So integrated it with Azure for single sign on, set up the group policies, I would say it was pretty straightforward. So it was kind of an ongoing. Once we got the initials set up and core administrators that would be using the tool set up with local accounts, it did become a more back burner task. I was able to work on it as I was had free time from other tasks. I would say really getting it to the basic usability point of being able to log in on the tool and to be able to connect and help somebody was within a couple hours and then developing the customizations, client deployment installations via group policy, transitioning from using local accounts to Azure AD accounts. If able to tackle in one sitting, probably would've been a few days, but since it was using more free time from other tasks, it was an ongoing process that took weeks and even into a couple of months to kind of get to a very nice deployment flow where everything was set up and easily usable and easy to onboard somebody else into the tool. Just one person really. Just me.

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."
"This is a very secure product."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"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."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."
"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."
"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 solution's stability is flawless."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
 

Cons

"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"It is expensive. Its initial setup was also a little bit involved, but it was nothing that we couldn't eventually handle. Currently, it has the ability to share screens. Somebody having an issue with their phone can share their screen with a technician sitting at a computer. It would be nice to also be able to control phones remotely, but this could be a limitation of a phone's operating system."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"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."
"Its remote support feature needs improvement."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product provides value for money."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"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."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
