Very good synchronization, good stability and good scalability
There are a few aspects of management that could be improved, however, I don't use them so much. It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control.

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

"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."
 

Cons

"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"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."
"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"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 API is no good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
