Very cost-effective and provides secure access to environments
It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems. We must contact professional service support. We do not have any control over it since it is a SaaS solution. We must go through Delinea’s PS team for all the integrations. We provide the requirements, the thought process, and the ideology of the workflow. However, it can be executed only by the PS team because we don't have any control or access to the application. As a SaaS consumer, I cannot do any custom scripting into the application. The PS team does all the customizations we require. The solution must improve the technical support.

Easy to set up and manage and has good scalability and stability, but its technical support team needs to be more aggressive in solving issues
We're mainly using IBM Security Secret Server to monitor user activities during and after office hours and what commands users are processing. We have other use cases for IBM Security Secret Server, but those are the most frequent use cases What I like best about IBM Security Secret Server is its…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The live recording is a very useful feature."
"As a PAM solution, Secret Server performs all the use cases in our environment."
"Stability-wise, I think it is a very good solution."
"One of the most valuable features is scalability, and how it allows you to scale it without affecting the underlying core components."
"What I like best about IBM Security Secret Server is its single-access console. It's also easy to manage and fulfills the requirements with the least resistance."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"The newer interface is more difficult to use than the previous one, and consequently, new users might need more training."
"It would be preferable if the full proxy was included in the IBM Security Secret Server."
"What needs improvement in IBM Security Secret Server is support. The local partner provides good support, but IBM itself doesn't. Most of the time, the IBM support team does not aggressively resolve issues reported through chat or the IBM website."
"Secret Server should have the ability to discover privileged accounts in the servers, like the administrator or users, from SQL and Oracle without having to import a script."
"The nonclustered index is working in an area with a problem that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"My rating for the IBM Security Secret Server pricing is seven out of ten. It could be cheaper."
"The price could be better. I think it's a good price for the on-premises environment and the high availability for enterprises the solution provides."
"I believe that we paid 35,000 or 40,000 US dollars for it."
