Featured Reviews

Himanshu-Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at Accenture
Efficient for remote access for third-party vendors
The features are common among systems, including special management, password management, and credential management. A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems. With tools like PRA, access can be granted without creating IDs directly on AD, providing access to privileged or target systems very efficiently.
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

"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"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."
"A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
 

Cons

"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"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."
"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"The Bomgar representative console could do with modernising. The Web rep console introduced is a marked improvement, but is currently not at feature parity with the thick client. This is being worked on."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."
"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"This product provides value for money."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"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."
