Delinea Secret Server Reviews

We primarily use the solution for privileged access management. 

Delinea Secret Server is like a vault for the users to store their device passwords and is also used for auditing sessions monitoring password production, et cetera.

The most valuable feature is the subscription on offer.

We like the policies that can be put in place. The password duration backup part and even the pipeline are useful. 

The solution offers useful APIs as well. 

We find the initial setup to be simple. 

It's scalable. 

The stability is great. 

The pricing is good.

Support is helpful.

Account discovery and asset discovery is easier in Delinea than in other solutions.

Occasionally, the proxy does not work so well. For example, when the custom client application is integrated with a Teams solution.

The server integration needs improvement. 

We find the documentation hard to understand. 

Support can sometimes be slow. 

I've been working with the solution for the last two years. 

The solution is stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution would work well for medium to large organizations. The solution can scale. 

While support is good, sometimes the documentation, especially for newer features, is not. That can be a challenge. 

The support team can sometimes take a while to solve issues. While they do tend to solve problems, it does take time. 

We previously used BeyondTrust and WALLIX.

I found the licensing simpler with Delinea. BeyondTrust, for example, required the purchase of different licenses. WALLIX similarly needed more complex licensing. 

It is pretty easy to set up the product. It's been straightforward, according to my experience. 

I can deploy the solution in eight hours. However, it takes five to six days for the full implementation. 

In terms of maintenance, if the team is good, it can be handled in-house. We have three people working on the solution currently.

I handled the implementation myself. However, it depends on the organization's policy. If there's a team in place that understands the solution, it can be done internally. Otherwise, it should be handled by a vendor, for example. 

While I cannot speak to the exact pricing, it is a bit cheaper than other options. 

I'd rate the affordability a five out of five. 

We are the partner of Delinea. We are a reseller, and we have deployed for six clients already in Bangladesh there are many more POC contacts in the works for different customers.

I am working with the latest update of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

In my company, Delinea Secret Server was primarily used for accessing websites with credentials that were shared among the team.

Guaranteeing that the passwords were kept up to date and not known to the users increased the security around the solution and the infrastructure.

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.

Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so there will be features needed in the future. There is space to use AI in several aspects of the solution, however, I can't pinpoint which ones.

I was using Delinea Secret Server for six years.

The stability of the solution was good.

For small companies, the complexity of the solution may be heavy. I would recommend it for medium to large companies due to its complexity versus the rewards.

The technical support by Delinea was good.

Positive

The initial setup was fairly straightforward and easy to deploy.

I did not take part in the deployment, so I can't provide details on the implementation team.

The pricing was fair, and maintenance or support was included in the subscription.

I was also looking into Keeper to compare features and see how they differ.

I would recommend Delinea Secret Server to medium to large companies, however, for smaller ones, there are likely easier solutions to use.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use Delinea Secret Server as a PAM solution. It helps us to check, rotate, and store passwords. 

We implemented the product for our privileged identities. We have configured them in check-in/check-out rotation. Delinea Secret Server rotates the password each time a privileged identity is checked in, making the password valid only for some time. 

The tool's most valuable feature is robust audit logging. 

Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting. 

I have been working with the product for three years. 

I rate Delinea Secret Server's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten. 

I have had limited exposure to CyberArk. 

We can see ROI when we use the product to its full capacity. 

The tool's pricing is expensive. 

Delinea Secret Server is superior to CyberArk. I rate it an eight out of ten. 

We use Delinea Secret Server for pharmacy equipment management. We use a secret vault. We use it as a temporary hold, and we use it for password rotation.

I like that you can change the password remotely.

It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server.

I have been using Delinea Secret Server for about a year.

Delinea Secret Server is a stable solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give stability a nine.

Delinea Secret Server is very scalable. We have about 20 users using this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give scalability an eight.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took us about a day to deploy this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the initial setup an eight.

We implemented this solution. You need a team of three professionals to deploy this solution. Two people can maintain this solution.

We have seen a return on investment.

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.

I would tell potential users to keep customization flexible using the power shell. This is a good one.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Delinea Secret Server a nine.

Our clients use this solution to manage privileged accounts, meaning their administrative accounts. Whether it's active directories, co-banking solutions, or databases, the solution will take over all the privileged accounts on the network or in the infrastructure. 

Number one is the password vault; it's very good. It helps our clients avoid having a lot of passwords out there.

Number two, they have a feature for remote desktops that are created on a per session basis, which is very good for security. They also integrate with service providers. Let's say I'm having Microsoft take a look at the active directory or something that went wrong. I can give them one-time access, and once they're done, the session ends and they don't have access to it anymore. These features are very helpful for my customers.

The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it.

I have been working with this solution for about five years.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Since I'm speaking as a system security engineer, most of the time we're able to solve any problems the customers have, unless there's a software problem that needs to go to the software development team at Thycotic, but most of the time there are no issues.

On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I would say that the ease of deployment by a novice would be around a one or two, while a skilled engineer could deploy it around a three or four.  

Licensing depends on a lot of factors, but once they do the proper scoping for you I don't think their pricing is that bad. This is a privileged access management solution, so yes it's expensive, but if the scoping is done right, I think you get a return on your internal investment.

Like most of these solutions, it depends on the engineer who comes and sets it up the first time. If it is done correctly and they integrate the different systems correctly, it'll work fine within your environment and you shouldn't have any issues. Administration of the solution is easy once it is set up. 

I prefer Thycotic because of the security, the fact that it is easy to administer, and the features. I think it has very, very good features, so I'd recommend Thycotic over CyberArk and the rest.

When considering a privileged access management solution, I would advise people to do their homework and find out about the features. People get solutions for different reasons, and the plan is not as straightforward as it would be with a firewall where you know what you want to block or control. Do your homework because it's an expensive solution, regardless of who you're buying it from. Find out what features it has, and make sure that the features work for you so you don't buy an expensive solution just to have it parked.

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten.

The primary use case for Delinea Secret Server is to sort the privileged passwords. It can also change passwords after a set period or revoke passwords when someone leaves the company. Delinea needs to be on-premises because Turkish regulations do not allow cloud-based security solutions for some sectors. 

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.

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.

I've been using Delinea Secret Server for five years.

Delinea is highly stable.

It's incredibly easy to scale up Delinea. You can install a new vendor server and deploy the Delinea Secret Server application if you have performance issues. We have 120 admin users and around 5,000 privileged passwords stored in the vault on the Secret Server.

I rate Delinea support 10 out of 10. It's good, but I don't need it often. Sometimes I need help with configuration. If you need a custom configuration, you can pay for professional services, but it's expensive.

I've also used CyberArk. CyberArk has more features, but they are minor. Some customers may need them, but others don't. The main difference is pricing. CyberArk is more expensive. 

A Delinea license costs about a dollar per admin, whereas it's $5 for CyberArk.

The installation is pretty basic, and it doesn't require advanced knowledge. It takes a day to install and configure CyberArk, but Delinea is done in an hour. But you need an escrow database. I requested a cluster system from the customer site.

After deployment, the solution doesn't require much maintenance because the Delinea is stable. I sometimes have a connection problem due to configuration, but I never have an issue with the database. You don't need to spend much time on maintenance or have a lot of technical knowledge.

We deployed Delinea in-house. 

I would rate Delinea 10 out of 10 for affordability.

I rate Delinea Secret Server 10 out of 10. If your customer uses a privileged access solution, they need to sort all the passwords. They should do a session recording and change the password, then do workflow delegation. Delinea can do it all, so I strongly recommend it.

We have implemented the product in our system environment and configured it extensively to manage privileged accounts and enhance security.

The solution's session recording and discovery features have been valuable for us in securing our privileged accounts.

One of the product areas that could be improved is the ease of handling SSL certificates within the application, as it currently requires manual command-line configurations.

I have been working with Delinea Secret Server for one year.

I rate the stability as a nine.

I would rate the product scalability as a nine, as it has effectively scaled to meet our growing needs. 

Our clients range from small to medium-sized businesses.

The technical support services are excellent. 

The initial setup process is easy, around eight on a scale of one to ten. The deployment process took approximately six months.

Delinea Secret Server has provided a return on investment by significantly enhancing our security operations, particularly in managing privileged accounts.

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

I would rate the platform as a seven. 

We use the solution for automatic password rotation and managing system admin and database access.

The solution's most valuable feature is video recording. It is crucial for evidence and compliance purposes.

The solution's remote support feature needs improvement.

The solution is stable.

We have 30 solution users in our organization. They include system, network, and database administrators.

The solution's technical support is good.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is easy.

The solution is low-cost than other vendors. We purchase a yearly subscription for it.

The solution has all the essential features to secure any environment. I rate it an eight.

I use it for laboratory practice before implementing it for end-users. Specifically, I use the Linux server to discover related accounts in our domain, pull them into the solution, manage their passwords, carry out session monitoring, and practice workflow, which allows for leading access to better-trained individuals when needed. I also make presentations to clients concerning this type of solution.

One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals. For example, if one person approves something, it can be set up so that others must confirm it as well.

In terms of the user interface, it's good. However, installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment. We are deploying it in our own private laboratory, not as a secret server cloud. 

Additionally, CyberArk has a more robust site and development team compared to Delinea. They also provide more educational resources on recent happenings in cybersecurity, the latest attacks, newsletters that educate people in the field, and how to create two opportunities. Delinea could improve in research and development and educate the public on recent trends in the industry.

I have been using Delinea Secret Server for a year now. 

It is a stable solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

For scalability, I would rate it a nine out of ten. Secret Server or Delinea comes with a range of product suites that can complement each other in terms of work. You have Secret Server; you have Business Behavior Analysis; you have Account Spectrum Manager, and all of them work hand in hand. I can say that it's a bit scalable, and, yeah, it's very much scalable.

I had issues with the discovery of a particular service account with a particular dependency during a proof of concept with a client in the past. I had to contact email support for that, but upon further investigation, we discovered that it was an issue with UPS at support dot net, and I think that was what caused the problem.

If you're installing Secret Server, you could pay it up to anything, say, 40 to 60 minutes later.

If you're requesting licenses or pricing, then you have to fill out a questionnaire that they try to gain insight into what your environment is like, what you're trying to discover, and what you're trying to manage. I like this approach. 

So I have a client currently using CyberArk and trying to switch to Secret Server. So, according to them, CyberArk is a bit expensive compared to Secret Server.

However, in my personal opinion, Delinea's technology can be costly. Delinea Secret Server is a relatively expensive product due to its advanced capabilities compared to more basic solutions like ManageEngine PAM360, considered a lower-priced option in the industry.

I haven't used comparable solutions to know if there is any other one better than Delinea Secret Server. But it's a nice solution I'm comfortable with, and I can always give it an eight, which is fair enough because I wouldn't say ten, as I have not used cyber activities or a couple of products to be able to say, yeah, I prefer this about this. It's a nice solution. It can give you what you want and meet compliance requirements.

However, I would recommend using the solution because there is not much of a learning curve with Delinea. 

We are selling this solution. Different customers have different use cases for it, which vary from our own. We do not use it for our organization; rather, we deploy and configure it for our customers to whom we sell it.

I have large-scale clients.

The most valuable feature is the user experience. The platform offers a native user experience, which means that users don't have to change their behavior or install any additional software or agents.

Moreover, Delinea manages the secrets, not the assets.

An area for improvement in Delinea Secret Server is its integration with ICAP servers. This integration would help in scanning for transfers and determining if they are one-way or not, and whether they contain values. Additionally, there is a need to enforce the copy-based policy across all secrets in the Delinea Secret Server platform, instead of having it as a personal configuration.

I have been using this solution for seven years. I am currently working with the latest version.

I would rate stability an eight out of ten.

I would rate scalability a ten out of ten.

The customer service and support was really good. 

Positive

The initial setup is really easy. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

It took one month to deploy. The process was straightforward and only one person was required to deploy the solution.

The pricing model is within the market average. I would rate it a three out of ten, where ten is the most expensive, and zero is very cheap.

I would advise people to use cloud-version because it has more features.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.
