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.

Easy to install but needs to provide better server management and organization
I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server. Working with 100 or 200 server installations is comfortable, but not thousands. The scalability isn't very good because it's complicated. I would like more organization. For instance, they could add a table that matches an account to many servers at once. There could also be better education services. They don't have any certification program, at least in Ukraine, so the training is complicated and divided into different pieces. Cisco, for example, has a great education program that starts from the basics and progresses to advanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is good."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"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."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
 

Cons

"When Delinea upgrades the tool, it rejects our password, saying that it is not compliant and strong."
"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"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."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"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."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
