Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.

Streamlined access management through integration and simplified setup
Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers. It integrates well with single sign-on (SSO) and Ansible Playbooks, allowing me to manage inventories easily. Teleport provides a straightforward setup process with a single command line, making it easier to manage the onboarding and offboarding of team members.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is good."
"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."
"It works for us."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
 

Cons

"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome."
"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 initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
"I formerly used only one service: the remote server. For example, I connected to the Active Directory user and the computer's console. But now, I need to do a remote connection to the domain controller. Maybe it only connects to that tool, the Active Directory users, and the computer management console, but not to the domain controller. Another thing Delinea could add is multi-factor authentication."
"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
"It isn't terribly expensive."

"Most customers opt for a yearly license."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
