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 user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."
"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"Delinea Secret Server is a cost-effective solution."
"Support is helpful."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"The solution is good."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"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."
 

Cons

"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."
"We faced some upgrade issues, especially during the management and administration parts. I found it less straightforward than on many other platforms, even outside password managers."
"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"I'd prefer a better commercial model that includes partners and options for consulting around it. Where I've worked with my customers, we've only been able to use their professional services, and that has been a risk and constraint."
"The main concern is that Delinea Secret Server is not suitable for modern technology."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"The configuration is difficult."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The stability is not very good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"They are priced quite well."
"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
"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."
"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."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
