We performed a comparison between Delinea Secret Server and HashiCorp Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's stability is flawless."
"The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."
"I like that it's user-friendly."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is that it's an open source solution. Second, it's cloud agnostic, so it's very easy to maintain and control, which is why we prefer HashiCorp."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"Installation can sometimes be difficult, depending on the environment."
"It is expensive compared to other solutions in this category and for what it does."
"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"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 technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end."
"Support could be better. I have heard about a lot of problems in the Bangladesh market. People are saying that there are support issues. So, Delinea should focus on support and services."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I don't think there are any major improvements required—so far, so good. However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful. I would prefer to have more videos available either on the official site or on YouTube."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
