I typically use Delinea Privileged Access Service within my IT infrastructure management for consulting, to secure privileged access, recording, session recording, password vault, etcetera The most common solution I find effective for protecting sensitive data is the most common features of…

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."
"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."
"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."
"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
