Integrates well between AD and Unix, scalable, and easy to use
BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues. I recently received a new version a few weeks ago and it looks like they solved most of the problems. Some of the issues we had, lasted a very long time until they found a solution.

Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access
I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"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."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
 

Cons

"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"The product contains some bugs."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"There are some things that I know are really important to include like A/B version features which are available in Windows. I would say that they should be included in the road map."
"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."
"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."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"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."
"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"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 isn't terribly expensive."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"They are priced quite well."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"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."
