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

"This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with."
"The remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"Bomgar has given us the ability to manage the majority of our calls from a remote location making response times quicker and more efficient."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"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."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"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."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
 

Cons

"Although the learning curve is steep, the product is well-documented.​"
"I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"One potential improvement is in the support department."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"The Remote support solution based on Bomgar has physical appliances deployed and leveraged to serve our multiple customers. Aging appliances are going RMA now and then."
"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."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"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."
"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."
"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BeyondTrust Remote Support is a very expensive product."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"This product provides value for money."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"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 price of this solution is good."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"They are priced quite well."
