A secure solution that needs to improve JumpCloud integration
The tool's most valuable feature is security.  We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud.  I have been using the product for more than two years.  1Password is stable.  My company has 200 users for the product.  The tool's deployment is easy.  The tool's pricing is not too…

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

"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"The most valuable feature of 1Password is the one that automatically generates a password and MFA for me when I try to enter them, instead of going and hardcoding it."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"Its technical support is good."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."
"Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"There could be tweaks here and there. For example, instead of going to one main function to do this and another main function to do that, the solution could remap the user interface so that a person only has to go through one function. The way that function branches off should make a bit more sense."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime. Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
