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

"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."

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

"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."

"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."

"I like that it's user-friendly."

"Support is helpful."

"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."

"Number one is the password vault; it's very good. Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."

"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."

"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."

"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."

"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

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

"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."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."

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

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
