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.

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.

Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about this product is the interface."

"I have found most valuable the automatic scheduled password rotation and remote desktop monitoring. Additionally, the documentation is readily available and easy to find and the dashboard is straightforward."

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

"I really like the zero trust piece."

"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."

"When making a decision about which solution to purchase, it often comes down to a choice between Thycotic and CyberArk, and the cost and features one gets with the latter provides a little more value and saves money in the process, although the former is somewhat easier to deploy and to get up and running."

"Password checkout and the ability to change a password after checkin are the most valuable features."

"Secret Server has improved security, productivity and helped achieve a much higher state of compliance."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"Saviynt performs well against other products in the market; it's easy to manage and easy to use, with a simple, intuitive shopping-cart-style UI for end users to request access and follow the approval process."

"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

"Saviynt has improved our organization, as it is a straightforward solution that allows you to configure things very fast, partly because of the JSON and Autobox functionality."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

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

"Documentation could be improved if they were to include more about connectors. There is not enough documentation."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"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."

"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."

"In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies."

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

"Referring to Secret Server v10, we want the ability to add subfolders to the "Personal Folders" container."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."

"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."

"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are priced quite well."

"There is an annual license needed to use Delinea Secret Server."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

"The price of this solution is good."

"The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

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

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

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
