Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

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

"Solution has a good UI."
"This is a very secure product."
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk)."
"Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature. It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise."
"Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting."
"The solution has been very stable. We haven't had issues at all. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches either."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"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."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"I find it really easy and computer confident, and the experience with the product is really good. Additionally, customizations are easy."
"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
 

Cons

"It lacks voice integration like the other products because they need the compression to support that large amount of concurrent sessions. We've had to sacrifice voice."
"​The possibility to integrate a chatbot would take this product to the next level​."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Lacks some kind of voice communication option."
"There are not enough product partners in Turkey, making it difficult for me to get assistance."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"One potential improvement is in the support department. Customers based in India have to wait for support staff in the UK to start their shifts for assistance on non-urgent matters, even for severity one or two issues."
"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"When Delinea upgrades the tool, it rejects our password, saying that it is not compliant and strong."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"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."
"The API is no good."
"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their pricing is a little bit high but it's negotiable depending on the type of client. It is approximately R6,000 per year for a user. I would rate the pricing a four out of five."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"This product provides value for money."
"The licensing is concurrent and we spend about $10,000. It's my understanding that there aren't any extra costs beyond just the straight licensing."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"The cost currently according to the client is a bit high for them."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"It is expensive. Performance-wise, it is pretty good, but we're less happy with the cost. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It is also on a per-technician basis. A certain number of concurrent technicians can log in and access all the features."
"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."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
