Easy to set up, simple to use, and quite secure
We primarily use the solution for a personal secondary backup The solution is easy to use. So far, the performance has been good.  It offers a very easy setup. The integration capabilities have been good. It's very stable and quite secure.  I cannot speak to any particular areas of improvement.…

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

"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"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."
"The solution's stability is flawless."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"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."
 

Cons

"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"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 of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"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."
"They are priced quite well."
"Pricing is comparable to competing products."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"In the Nigerian market, the adoption of Delinea depends largely on an organization's budget. If they have the financial capacity, they might consider Delinea as a viable option."
