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.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement

The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The ease of granting access to a secret without having to share the actual password and the password rotation were the main features I found effective for password management."

"I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."

"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."

"The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward."

"The initial setup of Delinea Secret Server is straightforward and easy for development purposes."

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

"The product provides a native user experience without requiring users to install additional software or agents."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."

"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."

"WALLIX Bastion's most valuable feature is the Access Manager because you can use it and access the data center without any client VPN."

"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."

"The solution's technical support team is helpful."

"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."

"I like that it's Linux-based, and you don't need to have separate implementations, extra database licenses, or enterprise licenses. I think because it's Linux-based, it's more seamless than Windows. I also like the access manager, which I think is a super tool. Everything is browser-based, and you don't need a VPN. So, that's a great thing."

"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."

More WALLIX Bastion pros

Cons

"One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application."

"The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy."

"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."

"Its remote support feature needs improvement."

"Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future."

"We find the documentation hard to understand."

"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."

"The API is no good."

More Delinea Secret Server cons

"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."

"For me, the main issue has to do with the system performance itself."

"WALLIX Bastion is GUI-driven, but it sometimes needs some management."

"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."

"Based on my experience as a sales tech person, one area of improvement could be a more unified licensing model."

"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."

"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."

"The password management needs improvement. Management of Access Manager should be improved as well."

More WALLIX Bastion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is expensive."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being a high price."

"They are priced quite well."

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

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

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

"Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
