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

"I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive."

"Delinea's network integration is the most useful. For example, I use a Check Point firewall connect to SmartConsole, so I need to do a lot of configuration in Delinea Secret Server. Native integration with Check Point is valuable. You can also go download whatever API you need from the cloud, whether you're using Check Point, Palo Alto, etc. Enriched discovery is another good feature. If you are dealing with several kinds of systems, you can see which system requires privileged access to my network."

"The solution is good."

"The technical support services are excellent."

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

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

"The most valuable feature is session monitoring."

"Its technical support is good."

More Delinea Secret Server pros

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

"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."

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

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

"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."

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

"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."

"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."

Cons

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

"Delinea Secret Server can improve by extending the monitoring policies and making the performance better."

"One of the things that we want is to be able to do some of the management of it using APIs."

"We always ask for partner enablement, which is more like a soft requirement rather than a product requirement. It would be great if they can provide us deeper knowledge of their products for integration."

"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."

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

"An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers."

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

More Delinea Secret Server cons

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

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

"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."

"There could be more automation features for the solution."

"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."

"The scalability of WALLIX Bastion is rated seven out of ten. While it meets our current needs, scaling up the solution is not as easy, and improvements could be made in this area."

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

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

More WALLIX Bastion cons

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."

"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."

"There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."

"When comparing the price of Thycotic Secret Server with other solutions it is reasonable."

"Pricing is comparable to competing products."

"They are priced quite well."

"Compared to other solutions, Delinea Secret Server is competitively priced but on the higher side."

"It would be beneficial if it were reduced."

More Delinea Secret Server pricing and cost advice

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to that of other products."

"Some extra price needs to be paid for license."
