Contractor at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
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

"They've done a great job implementing all possible features; it's the best tool there is and no competitors come close to the level of sophistication and maturity of the product."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe has made companies a lot safer."
"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."
"Secrets Safe is highly scalable without interruptions to the current infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time."
"I would rate Thycotic Secret Server a 10 out of 10 because I am not familiar with any products that are capable of going on-prem and have a superior function set."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"I have been a proud Thycotic Secret Server customer since 2008."
"The solution's stability is flawless; it's very stable."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution is relatively stable, but not all bugs have been fixed."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe stability in the AD Bridge has been not good, we have had many issues."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."

"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."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
