Reena Bhardwaj

Senior Quality Analyst at YASH Technologies

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.

Delivery Manager at Tech Mahindra Limited

Provides secure secret management with granular controls and professional support

The tool is very good, but the commercialized training, which is paid, could be improved. Regularizing those trainings as part of a global alliance between the customer, SI partner, and CyberArk would be more profitable, allowing relevant SMEs to be trained better. There are training courses available that sometimes provide coupons on a yearly basis. If those coupons increase from about 10 to 20 people, it would provide better opportunities for SI partners Tech Mahindra to train resources and gain visibility with customers. There are indeed paid training courses for partners, and while they shouldn't be entirely free, the coupons can make them free. Increasing those coupons would allow more resources to be trained rather than limiting them to just two or three.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."

"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."

"The benefits and positive impacts I have seen from Delinea Secret Server on my company include having centralized secret management, log monitoring, an audit log on the command execution on the system, and it has programmable API customization."

"Before this solution, people had their own passwords stored in different areas and when something was needed we could not find the right person that had the right password, which meant quite a lot in migration scenarios, but with this solution, everyone knew what tools to use and where to put the password and who gives access to that password and then we could have reports on who has access to different passwords so that we could do audits."

"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."

"I really like the zero trust piece."

"In general, I would recommend the product; it's very good and is cheaper than CyberArk."

"Delinea Secret Server offers features similar to CyberArk and BeyondTrust, such as maintaining and securing privileged passwords and session monitoring."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"One of the most important features for us is the system's performance, particularly its speed of retrieving secrets."

"The automatic rotation of the password is the top feature."

"CyberArk's support team is knowledgeable and helpful, consistently responding on time."

"CyberArk Secrets Management is a critical solution for strengthening our security posture."

"The audit trails have been extremely important for us in helping our organization meet regulatory requirements."

"With CyberArk Secrets Management, we were able to resolve the automatic change of the passwords based on timelines. We were also able to retrieve the passwords in an encrypted format by utilizing the CyberArk platform, which was not provided to us by UiPath."

"The granular controls of CyberArk Secrets Management are very niche in their development and very secure from the overall secret management perspective, offering high-level functionalities where we have control over user access, which can be tracked and monitored."

"It's vital for effectively managing and securing my credentials."

Cons

"I rate customer service and support a zero out of ten. We reached out to them to solve an issue, and they hung up on us."

"My only negative thing to say about Thycotic would involve the servicing not having been written for 2019."

"Attempting to do that is almost impossible because of the low quality of the API."

"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."

"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."

"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."

"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."

"The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"Improvements for CyberArk Secrets Management include enhanced documentation with more use cases and step-by-step integration guides."

"Implementation was complex and required professional services."

"We did not have a good experience with technical support because their numerous processes caused delays in engaging, leading to project delays or issues with production."

"Implementing it and ensuring seamless password rotations present challenges."

"There is room for improvement with better documentation and less need for CyberArk Secrets Management personnel to assist us with their presence."

"We occasionally experience incidents that delay password injection back into the script."

"The password search feature and integration between different vaults could be enhanced. For instance, when updating passwords in both lower and higher environment vaults, improvement is required in search and upgrade functions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."

"They are priced quite well."

"It isn't terribly expensive."

"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."

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."

"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."

"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"CyberArk Secrets Management has a moderate pricing structure based on a per-tenant licensing model rather than a per-user account model like their PAM solution."

"It is in the middle. It is neither very cheap nor very expensive, so I would place it in the middle."
