Delinea Secret ServerSpecops Password Policy
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for managing access to secrets and servers and is more secure than storing passwords in a browser. The browser plugin to autofill passwords works well. Being able to schedule access ahead of time is a big plus for me as I can be forgetful. If you want a lightweight password vault, however, it may not be the best choice.

We've found it easy to implement, administer and monitor. It's simple to get snapshots of how our policy is affecting users at any given time. We can gain snapshots and reports in an instant. It has benefited us enormously in time and cost savings and in sharing knowledge with other teams in our business, like the Operations and Service Desk.

Cons
  • The sharing functionality NEEDS improvement. We share most passwords at a group level, but then it becomes impossible to share them with a dynamic group and one or two one-off people as well. This is a major shortcoming.
  • I don't love the interface. I feel like there is an attempt at a dashboard, but it is really not effective.
  • I've heard, but never seen, that the software can actually change passwords in the target systems. If this is part of its deliverable, I do not know how to use it, and I don't know how you would do that. Seems like a great feature for password management.

  • It's better than the competition.

Usability
My rating is purely based on the configurational activities, as feature-wise delineation has all the features that are very beneficial for customers, though the implementation is a bit more manual work, which can be reduced with a low-code platform. Along with that, we can have a better UI to have intuitiveness and can manage the platform for shared customers in a better way. Overall, it is a very good tool for PAM.

I actually haven't had to work with support. I have spoken to a colleague of mine who has worked with support and has been pleased.

Alternatives Considered
We explored Jum Cloud and ManageEngine. Delinea is comparable in terms of features; however, the implementation of these tools differs. Delinea is a bit more manual than the other two. However, the licensing and overall ROI are better for Delinea, as it provides almost all market-ready solutions and has a robust licensing mechanism, resulting in a better ROI.

We have looked at other companies like KnowBe4 and Thycotic, but they were not as useful for us.

Return on Investment
  • The best return on investment is that all of our passwords are now up to date and usable by everyone in the department. The old way could only be accessed by one person at a time, and it was frequently wrong.
  • We save a lot of time in IT by having the passwords easily accessible. We also meet our security audit objectives by using this app instead of, say, an Excel spreadsheet or an old application that is no longer supported, as was the case at a previous workplace.
  • With the size of our department, we don't have enough passwords to go beyond the free version. It's fully functional, but it costs nothing (except some resources on a VM). ROI on free can't be beat.

  • Nothing negative thus far.
