Offers ease of use and app easily shows the password when I go to any application
The functionality to fully utilize passkeys could be improved. The last time I spoke to support, they said the development team was working on it. So far, it's working okay on my personal devices. I would like to log in with a master account using a passkey, that would be easy. The product is really great. I just miss the functionality to log in to Bitwarden using a passkey.

Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is open source and the premium package is reasonable."
"In our organization, we use Bitwarden for managing product credentials. Bitwarden's collection feature enables us to securely create and store credentials, and we can easily provide team members with access to the relevant collections."
"The product has a very friendly community."
"The customer service and support are good. The technician is on time and the follow-up is amazing."
"I've found something else that is extremely valuable. Bitwarden refers to it as "emergency access". It's essentially a digital legacy where you can assign approved users who can request access. If you don't decline within a certain timeframe, they can access it in case you're incapacitated or deceased. When I last checked, only a few services offered this feature. Bitwarden had the simplest and best implementation."
"Its integration capabilities and versatility, like the ability to securely save passwords and other critical information, make it incredibly useful."
"Having all the passwords in one place is helpful."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The reporting is excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The solution is flexible."
 

Cons

"I would like to log in with a master account using a passkey, that would be easy."
"The product must be a bit more unified and refined."
"Enhancing the tool by including additional security variables would be a valuable improvement."
"The product could be cheaper."
"It would be ideal if the application could be seamlessly integrated into our open-source software, especially for the purpose of enabling straightforward logging."
"The solution should be made more secure as it has the banking sector and assets saved."
"I often use another password manager as well to keep my passwords separate, ensuring redundancy. But one simple thing Bitwarden could improve is providing an option to duplicate credentials. Often, you're creating many sets of credentials for the same thing. If they all have the same information, notes, login, collection, and naming - all you're changing is the password. The ability to duplicate credential records quickly would be a big win. It doesn't do that right now."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I use a free version and it works well for me."
"The product is not costly. I pay $10 per month."
"It is an open-source tool."
"In our region, it comes at an affordable price."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The pricing is moderate."
