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

"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"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."
"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."
"Its technical support is good."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"It works for us."
"What I like best about this product is the interface."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
 

Cons

"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."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"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."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"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."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"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."
