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

"The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response."
"Solution has a good UI."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us."
"It is a lightweight, reliable solution that gives IT a direct visual of occurring issues."
"We rarely need support for anything, but when we do, they are on it and always helpful."
"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."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"It works for us."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"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."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"The main concern is that Delinea Secret Server is not suitable for modern technology."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime. Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"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 believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"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."
"It is not the most cost effective solution on the market."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"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."
