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."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"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."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"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."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The stability is not very good."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The price of this solution is good."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
