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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There has been no downtime this year."

"The solution is good."

"Delinea can do it all, so I strongly recommend it."

"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."

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

"It works for us."

"I like that it is Windows-based. It is good that primarily, it is not an appliance. Some of the other applications in the space, such as a Quest Software CPAM or a Safeguard, are appliances, so you can't deploy the ends of them. With Thycotic, you can either install your Temporal Protection module physically in the VM host, or you can use BouncyCastle for high-security module capabilities."

"This is a product that I would recommend."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"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."

"The solution handles backflow very well."

"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."

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

"The product has a great attestation feature."

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

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

More Saviynt Identity Cloud pros

Cons

"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."

"As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned."

"Certain features like the Remote Access Service (RAS) Engine and syncing with directory services may still have bugs or limitations, especially in newer platform versions."

"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."

"The setup for this solution is complex."

"Delinea Secret Server can be improved as we find some bugs and it sometimes takes a little bit of time for them to get resolved when we go to support."

"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."

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

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"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."

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

"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."

"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."

"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."

"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."

"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."

More Saviynt Identity Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

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

"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 is very expensive, and its price should be lower."

"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."

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

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."

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

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

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

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
