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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it provides us with a secure way of managing passwords."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of 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."
"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 solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
"Technical support is pretty good."
"One valuable feature is that it will support a dedicated database. Delinea provides multiple features, like reporting and remote password changes."
"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 most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets."
"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."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"This product is excellent in every way except minor details in handling extremely large environments."
"The setup for this solution is complex. I'm not going to lie, you need a specialized system security engineer to deploy it."
"I would like to see improvement with the integration with Azure Active Directory. This would mean that we can have support on multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"We find the documentation hard to understand."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"The tool should integrate additional features like OCR."
"Its remote support feature needs improvement."
"The product is complicated to install."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
"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."
"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."
