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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."
"Its technical support is good."
"The solution's stability is flawless."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before."
"The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable."
 

Cons

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."
"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."
"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 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 API is no good."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"They are priced quite well."
"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
