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 privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."
"The solution is good."
"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

"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations."
"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."
"The API is no good."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The stability is not very good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"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 pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
