Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs

There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.

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

"A sophisticated and mature solution."

"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."

"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."

"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

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

"Technical support is pretty good."

"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."

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

"I like that you can change the password remotely."

"Its most valuable feature is 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."

Cons

"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."

"The product contains some bugs."

"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."

"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."

"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."

"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."

"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"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

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."

"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."

"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

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

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

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