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

"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 remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"We have the ability to securely assist users remotely with a stable product, which allows for reporting capabilities, SAML authentication, and ServiceNow integration."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"It is a stable solution."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The solution's stability is flawless."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"The solution is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"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."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"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."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"It needs better Linux support. We have had issues with Ubuntu specifically."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
"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."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The API is no good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"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."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"They are priced quite well."
