We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets.""The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system.""Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management.""The solution is flexible.""The solution provides secure access to environments.""The privileged account management feature is what I like most.""This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy.""The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."

"We have received good support from the tech support team.""Password Management and Session Recording. The simplicity and ease that it is to be up and running out-of-the-box is very much appreciated.""It gives you list of servers, so you can see which users have access to which servers. This is really useful, so we can make sure nobody is getting extra access than what is needed.""Whoever built it from the ground up, they understand how an organization is laid out.""We found that the architecture is scalable and very resilient.""The two factor authentication, and the single most important capability was it supported PIV and CAC as one of the two factors. That was pretty huge for us.""The key benefits are we improve our governance. We ensure we can build more trust in the way we run and operate our environment, and most of all is the accountability.""We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues."

Cons
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak.""With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly.""The pricing and presence could be improved.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems.""There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration.""Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively.""The integration with sync could be improved."

More Delinea Privileged Access Service Cons →

"It'd be great if you just stuck in your PIV card and Windows popped up, asked you for your password. You typed it in, then it remembered your credentials.""It's difficult to locate the reports, there are limits on what reports can be run from the GUI, and the report formats are lacking.""Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way.""They need to have zero tier and active-active setup ​with zero minimum downtime, which they are working on it. ​""An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username.""The response time for support could be faster. Some features should be added: cloud-based, VPN-less, more secure, and it should be adjusted in a hybrid environment.""The support for other remote assistance tools would be excellent. Free included tools in Windows (Remote Assist) and Microsoft SCCM Configuration Manager (ConMgr Remote Control) allow companies to reduce the amount of RDP connections and expand the usage of the tools are frequently used by companies to provide technical support for remote assistance.""What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience."

    Overview

    Delinea Privilege Service provides all of your IT administration teams with secure, granular access to infrastructure regardless of location, and without the hassles of a VPN.
    Secure browser-based access Authorized IT users launch management sessions for resources directly from the Privilege Service portal. Sessions use SSH and RDP protocols, and are always protected end-to-end.

    Access across organizational boundaries Privilege Service enables you to authenticate your IT users through Active Directory, LDAP Cloud Directory, or Google G Suite
    Directory. You can use one or any combination of these identity stores to grant granular access to employees, business partners and outside vendors.

    Grant access to specific resources Unlike a VPN, Privilege Service enables you to grant access to
    resources on a on a per-resource basis. This means that you can easily give your internal IT admins access to as much of your infrastructure as necessary, while limiting access by an outsourced
    team to only the servers and network hardware their business role or IT function requires.

    Access from any location Your IT admins can log in and securely access resources from any location that can reach the Privilege Service. For user logins outside the corporate network, you can require Delinea's built-in multi-factor authentication for security stronger than a user name and password.

    CA Privileged Access Manager is a simple-to-deploy, automated, proven solution for privileged access management in physical, virtual and cloud environments. It enhances security by protecting sensitive administrative credentials such as root and administrator passwords, controlling privileged user access, proactively enforcing policies and monitoring and recording privileged user activity across all IT resources.  It includes CA PAM Server Control (previously CA Privileged Identity Manager) for fine-grained protection of critical servers
