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.

Enhancing administration security with critical feature improvements needed
My primary use case is to make a training about Active Directory security. In my experience, I work with Bastion. I emphasize the importance of having a good knowledge of Bastion to avoid vulnerabilities It helps by providing some security features for administration, although it's crucial to be…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"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 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 solution is flexible."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
 

Cons

"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"The integration with sync 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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."
 

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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The pricing is moderate."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
