Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the one-way hash, as well as the ability to store it in the cloud and access it from anywhere."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable."
"I really like the zero trust piece."
"The GUI interface is well-designed and user-friendly."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"The live recording is a very useful feature."
"What I like best about IBM Security Secret Server is its single-access console. It's also easy to manage and fulfills the requirements with the least resistance."
"As a PAM solution, Secret Server performs all the use cases in our environment."
"Stability-wise, I think it is a very good solution."
"One of the most valuable features is scalability, and how it allows you to scale it without affecting the underlying core components."
"Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution."
"Although the password policy was interesting, the default setting was inadequate."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"They could improve the container platform and SPO."
"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."
"The integration with the ticketing system ServiceNow is complex."
"I think that the main interface should integrate better with non-standard applications and clients, to connect with other systems."
"I don't know what kind of a cryptographic it uses to encrypt the password but it should be one of the stronger ones. Some of the cryptos have been accessed by hackers."
"It would be preferable if the full proxy was included in the IBM Security Secret Server."
"The newer interface is more difficult to use than the previous one, and consequently, new users might need more training."
"What needs improvement in IBM Security Secret Server is support. The local partner provides good support, but IBM itself doesn't. Most of the time, the IBM support team does not aggressively resolve issues reported through chat or the IBM website."
"The nonclustered index is working in an area with a problem that needs improvement."
"Secret Server should have the ability to discover privileged accounts in the servers, like the administrator or users, from SQL and Oracle without having to import a script."
