Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access

I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

Streamlined access management through integration and simplified setup

Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers. It integrates well with single sign-on (SSO) and Ansible Playbooks, allowing me to manage inventories easily. Teleport provides a straightforward setup process with a single command line, making it easier to manage the onboarding and offboarding of team members.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."

"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."

"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."

"There has been no downtime this year."

"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 have found most valuable the automatic scheduled password rotation and remote desktop monitoring. Additionally, the documentation is readily available and easy to find and the dashboard is straightforward."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."

"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."

"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."

"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."

"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."

"They could improve the container platform and SPO."

"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."

"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."

"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."

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"They are priced quite well."
