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

"Delinea has very good support."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"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."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The solution's technical support team is helpful."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
 

Cons

"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"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."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"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."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 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."
