Delinea Secret Server Previous Solutions

Avinash Gopu. - PeerSpot reviewer

I have more experience with IAM and PAM. I've worked with products like SailPoint, and Ping Identity. In the PAM space, I've used CyberArk, Broadcom, Accellion, and Thycotic Secret Server (now Delinea Secret Server).

One major difference is that CyberArk has several separate modules, while Delinea offers a more unified experience with integrated features like auto-discovery for secret keys and API keys. 

CyberArk requires additional integration with other applications to achieve these functionalities. Similarly, based on my knowledge, other tools may also require integrations. 

Since Delinea (formerly Thycotic) is a relatively newer solution, it comes with pre-built components and focuses on continuous improvement. In contrast, older vendors might lack some built-in features. 

Additionally, Delinea allows us to create custom rules and manage all access (Unix, Linux, Windows) for password management within the same platform. However, with CyberArk, managing passwords might require opening additional ports.

Another key difference is privileged account discovery management. In Delinea, we can directly access the admin console to discover accounts. With CyberArk, this might involve integrating with additional tools. These are just some of the differences, and there might be others.

We previously used BeyondTrust and WALLIX.

I found the licensing simpler with Delinea. BeyondTrust, for example, required the purchase of different licenses. WALLIX similarly needed more complex licensing.

I've also used CyberArk. CyberArk has more features, but they are minor. Some customers may need them, but others don't. The main difference is pricing. CyberArk is more expensive. 

A Delinea license costs about a dollar per admin, whereas it's $5 for CyberArk.

Program Manager at a recruiting/HR firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

I did a PLC with them while at IQVIA, but when I came over to CNHI, they actually owned 400-license, so I went ahead with its implementation.

We are trying to capture feedback with CyberArk, as well. 

I started my certifications in CyberArk, but I deal with identity and access management. 

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. I would likely rate it as a ten, but one tends to stick with what he knows.

I'm familiar with three main PAM solutions: Delinea, BeyondTrust, and WALLIX. I had the opportunity to work with them last year. However, the issue with Delinea is the cost. It's quite expensive compared to the others. And that's all. So, the pricing could be improved. View full review »

We had another product before switching. Secret Server crushed the old solution.

There is a lot of risk management software around. I decided to switch to Thycotic, first of all, because we were starting a new project and it was a challenge for me and a new software I wanted to try. That was the main reason for the move.

I have worked with customers of other solutions. They found it hard to separate accounts assigned to the same asset for different teams. For example, a server has SQL and database accounts. These credentials would all be visible to anyone with access to the server asset which isn’t a desirable situation. DBA has access to a local administrator account. Server admin has access to the payroll DB account!

This will be the last year Thycotic will be in operation at Healthcare in Norway because it will be replaced by CyberArk at some time this year.  

I think there are some very small things in Thycotic which are a little harder to do, and that is only because the Healthcare environment is so large. Healthcare has 55,000 network elements and 15,000 servers. One of the few things that CyberArk does better than Thycotic is to more neatly group IT assets in smaller bundles using a 'safe' that could be assigned to groups or teams for access. By comparison, Thycotic — at least in the versions leading up to the competition — lists all the assets at one time, no matter how many there are. When there are lists which are 15,000 elements long, it is harder to locate items and divvy up the work. So it was some slight usability things like this that really made the difference in the outcome of our comparison.  

While this organizational feature in Thycotic was not so good, some other parts of the user interface that are included in it are really fabulous. Thycotic is more intuitive and it is more logical in many ways than CyberArk. So I really like the Thycotic product. But for this very large environment, it turned just to be slightly less applicable to our situation than its competition.  

As I probably indicate from my answer, if it was not for the fact that we did a formal comparison and scoring of the products — following the objective measures that we have to follow when we buy things in the public — we probably would have done well just keeping Thycotic. But when you follow the Government process and the idea is to be absolutely impartial, then the way the scoring is set up is the way it goes.

I also have experience with CyberArk.

The difference between the two is basically that CyberArk gives you a bit more value for money.

I've worked with both Delinea and BeyondTrust. Basically, we're just trying to understand the possibilities and plan for future projects. But it's not serious at this stage due to budget and priorities. However, I might look at them in the future. In the meantime, I am familiar with some password manager solutions.

I've only used some basic password vaults, nothing major.

We didn't use anything previously, we just knew we needed a vault. We went with Thycotic based on ease of use and we thought their feature set was a little more robust.

When I came to this company, Secret Server was already in place. I do not know if the company may have had something in place before this. There is a consensus at the corporate level that we will continue using Thycotic Secret Server.

We used a version that was offline but we wanted something that is centrally managed. That was the reason for the switch, if I remember correctly. There is a need, in general, for organizations to have a solution like this and we chose this vendor.
