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.

Remote access to private lab hosts has become smoother while session control still needs refinement
HashiCorp Boundary can be improved in a few ways. The RDP session connection was recently introduced, which was a long-time feature that everyone was waiting for. Improving the desktop client and making it more elegant, fast, and optimized would be beneficial. I saw that there are new features allowing credential injection to RDP sessions and other useful functionalities that were among the top features I was looking for. I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but I saw demos that they already exist. The role-based access and permission granting is a bit complex and not intuitive. I work by myself and don't have many users to manage, but when it comes to scale, there might be a better way to manage access. The desktop app can be improved since it is slower than I would prefer, and session timeouts are a bit opaque. You don't really know how it's handling the session; sometimes the session ends and sometimes it's still alive. I find myself reactivating a session or needing to reconnect often. It could be more organized in that sense. A feature to close all active connections would help because currently, you have to go one by one and use the mouse to click on disconnect. If you have multiple sessions open, it might take some time because once you press cancel, you have to wait for a few seconds.
