Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"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."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
"It works for us."
"The solution's stability is flawless."
"There has been no downtime this year."
 

Cons

"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"Customer support was better in the past. About two years ago, the response times became longer."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."
"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."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"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."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"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."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"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."
"I would prefer that it was more affordable."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"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."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
