Offers a reliable platform for securing administrative access and reduces cloud maintenance overhead
I have not found many drawbacks in Delinea Authentication Service, but perhaps they could focus more on the development of the platform for all of the products. I mean, rather than having Secret Server and Privilege Manager as silos, they could have a unique platform. In future updates of this solution, I would like to see features that other PAM vendors are adding, such as machine identities, AI, agentic security, and perhaps certificate security for Delinea. Delinea integrates with third-party tools by having some out-of-the-box connectors, but not for all. Adding more connectors could be an evolution for the next product. Responsiveness could be another area of improvement. They are pretty much slow to respond or perhaps I don't get the answers I want.

Helps maintain security, supports older versions of Red Hat, and easy to administer
Sometimes, policy changes must be forced in by removing and re-applying policies locally on the server. It would be nice to see that the check-in process happens more often and that those changes happen much quicker on its own. Since this is tied to Group Policy, seeing some support around Advanced Group Policy Management would be nice. We are tightening security and processes around Group Policy in our domain, but Advanced Group Policy Management does line up with how Authentication Services work without the security and check-in/out process that AGPM has.
