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.

Good self-service capability and highly scalable
It integrates with ServiceDesk Plus. That's one of the benefits of using this product - most of their suites integrate, making it a one-stop-shop solution. I used it in my previous role, and it was particularly helpful in managing a large number of users, around ten thousand. It helped to reduce…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"Support is helpful."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Having multifactor authentication in Windows machines."
"One of the most valuable features is the self-service capability. I"
"Due to ransomware and novel threats, we can no longer allow people to gain domain admin access to our servers with only a username and password. With MFA, they must supply a one-time password sent to them via some authenticator, like Microsoft or Google Authenticator. It could be a text message."
"The solution provides wide options for multifactor authentication."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for remote users to change their login credentials using their mobile devices."
"It's very simple to manage and implement. Its functions are straightforward. You get all the basic features, such as you get the option to unlock the user account if it is locked. You can enforce password policies, and you also have the option to allow them to reset their passwords if they forget it. These were the basic requirements of my company that we could achieve through this product."
"Monitoring is one of the most valuable features for us."
"The solution enables agents to reset their passwords."
 

Cons

"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"There could be tweaks here and there. For example, instead of going to one main function to do this and another main function to do that, the solution could remap the user interface so that a person only has to go through one function. The way that function branches off should make a bit more sense."
"There is a lack of specific information provided by the analytics portion of the software."
"The registration process could be improved. It should be easier for users to register for the service."
"The worst part is that the solution can only be installed or updated on a device if it is physically connected to the local network."
"We need more reports for visualization."
"The price must be reduced."
"Could be simplified, not user-friendly."
"They could improve their security of the products to prevent vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"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."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"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."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"Using this solution costs us about $1,200 USD per year."
"You purchase the license for one time, and you can use it for a lifetime. The only thing is that in order to get support, you need to upgrade your product to the latest solution. You need to keep a support contract with them for which you have to pay some amount. It's a very small amount for renewing their support contract. Overall, it's very cost-effective."
