Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.
Herve Choupot - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed

Pros

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The reporting is excellent."
"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 privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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 have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
