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.

Self-service password reset has transformed support and now frees IT to focus on strategic work
While One Identity Password Manager is a strong solution, there are definitely a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools. Improving the UI would enhance user adoption and the overall experience. The second area is performance and stability. In some cases, performance can be slow, and there have been instances where updates occasionally cause stability issues. A more reliable upgrade process would definitely improve confidence in the product. The third area is integration complexity. Although it integrates well with systems such as Active Directory, integrating with other platforms can sometimes be complex. Having more out-of-the-box connectors or simpler integration options would be beneficial. Overall, One Identity Password Manager is a reliable enterprise solution, but improving usability, performance, and integration flexibility would make it even more competitive in today's market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of use because of its monolithic software."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"Support is helpful."
"There are lots of great custom features and network monitoring capabilities."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"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."
"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"One Identity Password Manager fits really well into our workflow; it takes a lot of pressure off the IT team by automating password-related tasks, so we can focus on more important work, and it gives users more independence since they do not have to rely on support for simple issues."
"The solution is very customizable."
"It allows end-users to reset their password by generating a one-time password (OTP) that they receive on their mobile; they're not dependent on the help desk and can do self-service from anywhere in the world, so if they're traveling, they can still reset or change the password and are not locked out of their account at any given time."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"One Identity Password Manager has reduced password-related tickets by 60% to 80% and is saving five to eight hours of IT time and effort."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"There could be tweaks here and there. For example, instead of going to one main function to do this and another main function to do that, the solution could remap the user interface so that a person only has to go through one function. The way that function branches off should make a bit more sense."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations."
"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell, and One Identity is under Quest. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
"No tool is perfect, and although One Identity Password Manager is very effective, there are definitely areas where it could be improved."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools."
"If One Identity Password Manager was providing good support I would not have as many complaints as I am. We are a reseller and we have our own technical team, they try to do the level one support, but customers are starting to complain, which means that you don't have the right support."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is good."
"We have an enterprise license as well as a user license and a support license."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"They are priced quite well."
"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"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."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
