Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 11, 2026

Delinea Secret Server and Saviynt Identity Cloud are competitors in the identity and access management space. Delinea seems to have an advantage in secret management through features like automated password rotation, while Saviynt leads in database utility and seamless integration with enterprise systems.

Features: Delinea Secret Server offers automated password rotation, session monitoring, and compliance facilitation through custom reports. Its privileged access management and network discovery capabilities stand out. Saviynt Identity Cloud boasts an intuitive user interface, robust identity governance capabilities, and seamless integration with various enterprise systems, simplifying third-party user management and report generation.

Room for Improvement: Delinea Secret Server could enhance its API integration, session recording capabilities, and support documentation. There are opportunities to improve its user interface and cloud integration features. Saviynt Identity Cloud needs to address customer customization challenges and improve log management. Resource availability for learning and strengthening privileged access management features are also areas for growth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Delinea Secret Server provides flexibility with multiple deployment options, including on-premises and hybrid clouds, and generally positive customer service, though experiences with technical support vary. Saviynt Identity Cloud excels in cloud environments and is easy to use, but it requires improved customer training and support response times, relying more on cloud solutions for scalability.

Pricing and ROI: Delinea Secret Server is perceived as pricier, offering a solid ROI through optimized security operations, despite its expensive licensing. Saviynt Identity Cloud is considered more affordable with its cloud-based model, though extra costs can incur for added features. Both products typically provide positive ROI when fully implemented, supporting security goals and operational efficiencies.

Robust credential management has improved security and simplifies privileged access control

I would characterize common frustrations related to Delinea Secret Server rather than using the term dislike. One area is the complexity for the administrative part. While it is straightforward in core values, configuring advanced policies, custom templates, and other areas including discovery scans and detailed reporting have a steep learning curve and may require extra training. The user interface and terminology present another challenge. Some users feel that the user interface can feel dated or overly complex, with terminology around secrets and folder structures taking time to master. Pricing perception is another point where some costs are mixed, while many others find Delinea Secret Server more affordable and flexible than tier one competitors. However, smaller teams still view enterprise licensing as a significant investment. I have observed poor technical support, particularly in multiple reviews. The support can be slow, limited, and sometimes unhelpful when troubleshooting complex configurations or stability issues. Aggressive or untransparent sales practices also present a concern. Some customers on G2 have cited frustrations with hidden costs, such as unexpected EC2 instance fees and core features being unbundled or oversold during contract negotiation. Complex implementation and setup is another significant challenge. The initial configuration, deployment, and managing advanced policies or connectors requires specialized expertise that most organizations do not have, and the steep learning curve compounds this issue. Users transitioning to the cloud-hosted version frequently complain that the updated interface and permissions structure feel slow and problematic compared to the legacy on-premise setup. Integration and API challenges represent the final area of concern. The platform points out challenges with API tokenization and external system integration, and the lack of documentation is one of the key points I would highlight. This limitation affects the ability to integrate with external systems effectively.

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."

"Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges."

Cons

"Very occasionally indexes won’t contain all the search results expected."

"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."

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

"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."

"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."

"Availability of technical support has always been a concern."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."

"On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate my experience with Saviynt so far as maybe only a four-out-of-ten."

"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."

"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."

"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is expensive."
