Has improved credential security with remote password change and role-based access
I have not faced any significant issues with Delinea Secret Server during this period of time, but we had a problem with a web password filler, which is a template used for accessing a web URL using Secret Server, where we faced some session management issues since session management is not applicable for the web password filler. This should be the improvement that we require from Delinea Secret Server. The session management is not applicable in this case; we can manage the session and have session management inside the remote systems within the organization. However, when it comes to web-related access, we can access directly through Delinea Secret Server. We can access any URL through Secret Server, but the problem is that the session cannot be managed on the web URL due to it having multiple systems. I do not have any other recommendations regarding the improvement of Delinea Secret Server at this time.

There are some areas for improvement in the Fudo PAM cake that we want to improve in terms of scaling. Scaling is an optional feature because we closed some big projects with enterprise customers from different countries, including Ukraine, Kaloxetine, Uzbekistan, and others. We closed projects in different areas with customers of different sizes. When we talk about enterprise customers, we should consider that they have different use cases and desires for Fudo PAM. We compared our options for customers to choose their vendors, and we discovered Fudo PAM has few scaling options. In Fudo PAM, there should be additional features for scaling and organizing remote sessions for remote systems in remote networks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model, is the most valuable feature."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The surveillance is most valuable."
"Support is helpful."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."
"The solution is scalable."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"This is a solution that I recommend because it is a simple privileged access management system that is done very well."
"I think that Fudo Privileged Access Management is a very good program."
"Right now we are encouraging our customers to use Fudo PAM because it is the only product in PAM technology that we have to offer them."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
 

Cons

"The setup for this solution is complex."
"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."
"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"Very occasionally indexes won’t contain all the search results expected."
"Whenever an update is applied to Secret Server, it requires downtime."
"The API is no good."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The stability is not very good."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
"The configuration is difficult."
"To tell you the truth, I find that Fudo is not very stable and we had some issues during the implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."
"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."
"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"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."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
