Delinea Secret Server Reviews

We use Thycotic Secret Server for the lab environment. We have it as a vault for users and in a client project. We have set it as the users' mass login to the secret server so they have access to their SVN. It is for remote access, password changing, etc...

We use it on premise, mostly. I haven't used the cloud version, but we are discussing with the client about using the cloud deployment.

Its most valuables feature are 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.

In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky. Additionally, many clients wanted a more cloud version. I know there is a cloud version of Thycotic Secret Server, but a whole unified platform would be good, not like where you have to set up a connector with the distributed engine and then have the Thycotic Secret Server connect with all these. Making a simpler version of connecting different sites and synchronization of the groups that you already have. Then the secrets and folder templates would follow the current infrastructure pattern that the client has so you don't have to recreate new folders and secrets from scratch. In other words, more interoperability with other systems, for example if a user already has a Microsoft Azure subscription. So, the integration with Microsoft as well would be good.

We have been using Thycotic Secret Server for about a year and a half.

In terms of stability, I would say, yes and no. We had some issues regarding the size of the disk space, which was a Thycotic side issue. There were many log files that they couldn't delete. And then we have another issue with the service account. We have to use another service account for Thycotic, and there was a mix-up with the database. All these issues were from the Thycotic side.

We're logging the tickets and I think there will be a resolution in the future.

Scalability is okay.

We use it for lab environment uses. We have about 20 users, not too many.

It takes one person to deploy in our environment.

We do have plans to increase. We have a live contract and other client requests for Thycotic, including maybe the cloud deployment. I hope it is not as tricky as on premise. Maybe it's easier, I don't know.

The initial setup depends on the client. That's why Isaid earlier that there should be a simpler version where we connect all the different sites, et cetera. Because for client installation and deployment, you have to set up two different servers for high availability, for example, and connect another through your site connectors for the distributed engines, and the client didn't have any load balancers. So, there were many issues and the Thycotic was a little bit tricky at that moment. It wasn't just a simple solution where you set up a server and you have it up and running. 

The other thing is, and I think it's important, there is not much documentation on the internet. Besides the partner portal it would be nice if there was a blog or something that we could use. So for most cases, we have to open a ticket, either us as partners or on the client's side.

Our license is yearly.

Thycotic Secret Server is a good solution for what it does. We are happy for that, but maybe they can improve some features. Let's say the keystrokes function doesn't work. We have reported that to Thycotic, but they still have many improvements to do.

On a scale of one to ten, I think Thycotic Secret Server is an eight - maybe.

I'm working in India in a private IT firm and we are working as a consultant for Thycotic, and Azure Development.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords. 

I also like the integration with the Active Directory of the Windows platform. It is really good.

Thycotic has a roadmap for moving to the cloud. The cloud version is also really good.

It would be helpful to have integration with various platforms, such as Azure Active Directory on multiple platforms. Adding this type of feature can add to Password Reset Server.

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.

Currently, it is a standalone application, but if it could be combined with other Thycotic products, it would be a good on-premises, as one platform. It would be altogether a very good package.

I have been working with Thycotic Password Reset Server for approximately one year.

This solution is stable.

Technical support is very good.

The initial setup is very easy.

They are priced quite well.

I would rate Thycotic Password Reset Server a seven out of ten.

This solution provides us with increased security when working with privileged accounts. It has well-arranged and detailed logging of privileged accounts. It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment.

This solution has increased security when working with privileged accounts and automates changes to their passwords.

Detailed logging of privileged account activity.

The features that we have found the most valuable are:

• Automatic password rotation to manage the security keys.
• Alerting of abnormal use of credentials.
• Dramatically improving our security posture.
• Facilitating compliance with our safety standards.
• Multiple layers of security and access management for IT admins, robust segregation of role-based duties, and military-grade AES 256 bit encryption.
• Database clustering, load balancing, and unlimited admin mode.
• Out-of-the-box & custom reports.

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

Recording of keyboards in the current Remote Desktop session would be a helpful feature.

The surveillance is most valuable.

The discovery of accounts could be improved. It is also very expensive, and its price should be lower.

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.

I have been working with their products for 10 years.

Their technical support is all right. Some of the open-source stuff isn't supported properly, but generally, it is pretty good.

Its initial setup is easy.

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

I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a six out of 10.
