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.

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

"Thycotic Secret Server is a good solution for what it does."
"Support is helpful."
"Dramatically improving our security posture."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"Thycotic is a product that is so friendly that it can be used by nearly anyone and everyone, and that is a good place to be."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model, is the most valuable feature."
"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."
"The solution handles backflow very well."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of implementation."
"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."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
 

Cons

"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"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."
"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 main concern is that Delinea Secret Server is not suitable for modern technology."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"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 product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"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 tool is difficult to migrate."
"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"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."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."
"The price of this solution is good."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."
"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."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"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."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
