Hahn Rolf - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at MICRODYN AG
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.
Reena Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Quality Analyst at YASH Technologies
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

"One of the largest values that we get from Bomgar Remote Support tool is the ability to assist our drivers with their mobile devices. We were unable to do this previously."
"This is a very secure product."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset. The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users."
"It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"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."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"Its technical support is good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Technical support for this region can be improved."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"Lacks remote support and privileged remote access in the one product."
"Non-Windows support capabilities need improvement. They need to expand into Macs, iOS, and Android. It's there now, however, there's room for growth and that's probably the best area to expand."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
"We believe for the money, it is worth what you pay."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"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."
"It is pretty pricey. It is not cheap. The licensing structure is not cheap. The tool is not cheap, but in the long run, it is well worth it. It is probably one of the best on the market because it is just so easy to use and easy to deploy. It gave us the ability to see what everybody was doing. It held people accountable. It gave us the accountability that we needed."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"I rate Remote Support eight out of 10 for affordability. It's definitely not the cheapest product, but you get a good return on your investment."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
