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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management."
"The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"Customer support for Delinea Secret Server has been terrific, and every time we've had an issue, we were able to reach out and get our issue resolved."
"There has been no downtime this year."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"The discovery engine is really robust and flexible. It had some session management features that are better compared to some other vendors. Overall the GUI is very good and straightforward to operate compared to other solutions. For example, CyberArk and Hitachi tend to be hard to navigate."
"Password checkout and the ability to change a password after checkin are the most valuable features."
"It’s an excellent solution, with great security."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Excellent."
"Easy to enter and track licensing, a history of successful and failed attempts, easy for the users, and low cost."
 

Cons

"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."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"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."
"Referring to Secret Server v10, we want the ability to add subfolders to the "Personal Folders" container."
"The biggest improvement needed for Delinea Secret Server is enhancing the mobile app integration into password managers on devices such as cell phones or iPads."
"While I would not classify my thoughts as dislikes, I believe there should be improvements in accessing secrets associated with web application URLs, as many users find it challenging, leading to password credential failures such as RPC issues with those secrets."
"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."
"We have had issues with stability in the past, although technical support has always been able to help us to fix them."
"They could include a deployment mechanism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."
"The tool's pricing is expensive."
"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."
"It is very expensive, and its price should be lower."
"It isn't terribly expensive."
"The solution is low-cost than other vendors."
