Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access

I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

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 secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."

"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."

"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."

"I like that it's user-friendly."

"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."

"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."

"The technical support services are excellent."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."

"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."

"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."

"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."

Cons

"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."

"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."

"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."

"Delinea Secret Server can improve in areas like statistics and notifications, and risk scoring, especially for highly privileged accounts where financial transactions occur."

"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."

"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."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"The configuration is difficult."

"Professional training and certification would be great."
