Sentiment score

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro's support is responsive with knowledgeable staff, but PAM cases may experience delays.
When I faced issues integrating custom applications with Delinea Secret Server, the support from their deployment partner was inadequate.
The support for PAM is not very prompt as it requires logging a case first and responses can take a day or two.

Delinea Secret Server is stable and reliable, with some minor issues, responsive support, and high user satisfaction ratings.
Sentiment score
8.9
Users find ManageEngine Password Manager Pro stable, reliable, easy to recover, and praise its performance and dependability.
The stability is less than ideal since it updates to our console can take around six to ten hours.
 

Room For Improvement

Delinea Secret Server requires API improvements, enhanced interface, better support, encryption, and integration with systems like Azure Active Directory.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro needs user interface improvements and affordable pricing, catering mainly to tech-savvy users with limited support.
Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers.
Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days.
 

Setup Cost

Delinea Secret Server pricing offers flexibility and functionality, but perceptions vary on affordability, especially for advanced features and cloud capabilities.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cost-effective for enterprises, with a 25,000 rands fee, compared favorably to competitors.
The price of Delinea Secret Server is okay, however, the solution is considered expensive when compared to others.
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.
 

Valuable Features

Delinea Secret Server offers easy installation, secret management, password rotation, robust security features, user-friendly interface, and integration capabilities.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro provides secure, user-friendly password management with strong features, direct machine login, and auditing capabilities.
Delinea Secret Server doesn't offer any exceptional features; most solutions have similar capabilities such as automatic password rotation, activity log monitoring, and activity log auditing.
The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable.

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.
