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

"Solution has a good UI."
"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"The solution is stable."
"It has a straightforward setup. Bomgar has created a simple, lightweight deployment process."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"Its technical support is good."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."
"The benefits and positive impacts I have seen from Delinea Secret Server on my company include having centralized secret management, log monitoring, an audit log on the command execution on the system, and it has programmable API customization."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."
"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

"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 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."
"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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 cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"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."
"The price of this solution is good."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"They are priced quite well."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
