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.

Has a useful credential vault feature but the user interface needs to be improved
I don't have a complete picture to be able to tell you that this is the best product. Because each customer in their own environment has a different set of circumstances and different situations that mandate different technologies. I cannot recommend this as the best product or recommend that you should use it. I would rate this product a six out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"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."
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"Most valuable feature is the credential vault."
 

Cons

"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."
"As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface could be improved, it's not that good,"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are priced quite well."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"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 tool's pricing is expensive."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
