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

"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"It is a stable solution."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The integration with Azure Identity is a significant advantage, as it allows for seamless automation and power app integration."
"The ability to provide just-in-time privileged access and set specific parameters for access duration is highly beneficial."
"The integration with Azure Identity is a significant advantage, as it allows for seamless automation and power app integration."
 

Cons

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"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 initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management could improve integration with multiple cloud environments."
"Microsoft Purview Privileged Access Management could improve integration with multiple cloud environments."
"There's room for improvement in Microsoft's documentation, as it often lacks clarity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"They are priced quite well."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"I would give the price a four on a scale from one to ten, with one being the cheapest and ten being the most expensive. We pay for the license on a yearly basis, and we paid for three years. It costs around 5000 a year."
"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."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
