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."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done."
"The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"I personally like the ability to share files with other machines."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"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."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."
"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."
 

Cons

"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"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."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"This product provides value for money."
"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"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."
