CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Delinea Secret Server compete in privileged access management. CyberArk appears to have the upper hand with its extensive features and customization abilities, while Delinea is recognized for its ease of setup and competitive pricing.
Features: CyberArk provides comprehensive session monitoring, detailed password management, and a modular design customizable for business needs. Delinea excels in secret management, strong integration capabilities, and a user-friendly setup, although its feature set is not as extensive as CyberArk's.
Room for Improvement: CyberArk could enhance its user interface, integration capabilities, and efficiency in large-scale deployments. Improvements in session recording and connectors are suggested. Delinea users seek better reporting, third-party integration, and dynamic environment support, with a need for more customization.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: CyberArk's deployment is comprehensive but complex, requiring planning and support. Its customer service has improved but still sees slow response complaints. Delinea is praised for straightforward setup and design, with generally positive customer support but room for quicker responses.
Pricing and ROI: CyberArk is expensive but justified by its feature depth and security, with escalating costs for additional modules. Delinea offers competitive pricing for mid-sized businesses and flexible licensing, seen as more manageable though still substantial. Both solutions deliver significant ROI through enhanced security and risk mitigation.
During our quantitative analysis, we estimated potential savings of one to ten million dollars a year by using a PAM solution.
With other tools such as Okta where you have self-service for resetting your own passwords and things like that, the average savings is 12 minutes, which is six dollars for a password reset, and you can extrapolate that over your organization.
A strong identity and access management solution aids in navigating significant incident responses or breach situations.
CyberArk has been exceptional in coming back to us with immediate responses.

I would rate it a ten out of ten for scalability.
They had 40,000 passwords in this one safe, and it was saving the last ten iterations of each password object. That means they had 400,000 password objects in this safe. They exceeded the limit.
Proper fine-tuning and expertise ensure the product performs well.
Overall, the stability of the solution is high.
It has a large customer base and positive feedback within my network.
The stability is less than ideal since it updates to our console can take around six to ten hours.

Reviews from Real Users
CyberArk Privileged Access Manager’s software stands out among its competitors for one very fundamental reason. CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is an all-in-one solution. Users are given the ability to accomplish with a single platform what might usually only be accomplished with multiple solutions.
PeerSpot users note the truly all-in-one nature of this solution. Mateusz K., IT Manager at a financial services firm, wrote, "It improves security in our company. We have more than 10,000 accounts that we manage in CyberArk. We use these accounts for SQLs, Windows Server, and Unix. Therefore, keeping these passwords up-to-date in another solution or software would be impossible. Now, we have some sort of a platform to manage passwords, distribute the inflow, and manage IT teams as well as making regular changes to it according to the internal security policies in our bank."
Hichem T.-B., CDO & Co-Founder at ELYTIK, noted that “This is a complete solution that can detect cyber attacks well. I have found the proxy features most valuable for fast password web access.”
Secret Server is a fully-featured Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution available both on premise and in the cloud. It empowers security and IT ops teams to secure and manage all types of privileged accounts and offers the fastest time to value of any PAM solution.
