Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"That dashboard is okay.""They don't just stick to a base version; instead, they actively enhance and improve it based on client feedback and industry trends.""The best part of this product is the administrator convenience. The portal is very user-friendly. An administrator can use it very easily.""Video and audio logs are there for any activities that the privileged admin carries out.""It is recording video records for Windows and command-line reports for others, Linux and AIX, of whatever activities being carries by that particular administrator.""It gives us a lot of comfort in terms of security level. Our infrastructure devices and servers are secured and nobody can have unauthorized access to them.""Technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.""Previously, we had to go through some effort to change the credentials of our devices. The process was subject to human error... For things like managing credentials, some kind of register had to be maintained. With the Password Vault of ARCON, all these processes are automated. The credentials are changed, as per the schedule. The information is encrypted, kept in our vault, and sent to all the email addresses within the ARCON solution itself."

"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 offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment.""The tool has many models. The tool also has a good cloud version. Also, the customers need not control any components on the solution side. The product's licensing model is also good since customers can choose a price that is most useful for them. The solution also supports password management for the users in your organization.""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.""Ease of use because of its monolithic software.""The most valuable feature of Delinea Secret Server is secret password management.""The privileged access management, which is the Safe Access Model is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"Sometimes it gets stuck between servers and I would like to see this improved in the future.""Anti-bridging should be built into product.""Currently, we can manage only the SSH or RDP connections, but there are many more devices that are present, apart from our SSH and RDP. We want all this to be part of the ARCON solution. For the password management, they should increase the pool of supported devices, they should have more connectors.""If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.""They they should focus on support. The support needs to be very strong. Since the product is becoming stronger, their support team also should be equally strong. They should respond to open queries within the time limit they have set. Their support team should be more technical, to understand the issue or the set up.""The solution needs more work on the password management side of things. Password management is a big challenge for us, and I would like to improve this aspect. We're finding that BeyondTrust is better in this regard, which is why we're probably going to migrate over. It will offer better security I think.""Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products.""I would like to see a "wild card" kind of a feature or something that would enable us to search the video."

More ARCON Privileged Access Management Cons →

"What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided.""In many PAM tools, when users request a password checkout, they need to provide justification. However, in my experience across four organizations, nobody actually reads the justifications. Users can simply type anything and get the password. This becomes a risk and compliance issue. There needs to be continuous improvement in this area, focusing on problem identification and mitigation strategies.""This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments.""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.""As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned.""We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous.""Having more detailed reporting would improve this solution.""Improvements are needed in session management, behavioral analytics, and the reporting segment."
