Bitwarden vs. Delinea Secret Server

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

I would recommend Delinea to any organization or colleague, as I have used it to support our shared services model, as well as a dedicated model for people support to customers, for privileged access management. Delinea has provided us with effective methods for handling unnecessary login attempts to the customer infrastructure. Additionally, the connection thread is available in the audit trail for review, which is a valuable feature to have.

• Their Browser extension seamlessly integrates into your workflow
• Collections keep information very organized within your Vault
• Vault Health Reports help identify weak or reused passwords
• Their built-in password generator is quick and easy to use
• UI is very user-friendly
• Video tutorial's are very helpful on their website

• Password Management: Its entire purpose, really. Secret Server stores passwords in an incredibly easy to use way. They can be organized in groups, they contain all the information about the site or system the password is used for (including URLs for websites), and even a notes field. You can set up specific policies for expirations and complexity, and Secret Server can even generate strong passwords for you. Using a password is simple, too, since you can just click a button to add it to your clipboard; you don't even have to unmask the password.
• Security: The passwords are stored encrypted in a SQL database, and the application requires an authenticated login. This could be local, but we tie it into Active Directory. Each folder of passwords has groups assigned (in our case, again, AD, but you can make them local groups) with different permission levels, so we can compartmentalize passwords. Desktop technicians don't have access to network switch passwords, etc.
• Easy Setup: It took me about an hour to get the server running, from spinning up the VM to importing our old password list. It took a little longer to organize the passwords into proper folders, and then assigning groups, but it was easy to do.
• Personal Passwords: Each user also gets a personal folder, where they can keep their own, unshared passwords. This is nice for sites or systems with individualized logins (e.g., a firewall, VPN, etc.)
• Favorites: Secret Server lets you tag passwords as "favorites" so you can easily find ones you use constantly. The search feature is nice, but this is nicer.

• Bitwarden has great functionality all around, however, I would in the future like to see this product as an SSO/IDM distributor.

• Personally I would prefer an app instead of a website.
• Can be too many options. Sometimes I just want to add a secret quickly.
• Can be slow to adopt until you get used to how it works.

Easy to use, just missing a few quality of life features. Nothing to suggest it's not awesome as it is, just bells and whistles to make it more convenient.

My rating is purely based on the configurational activities, as feature-wise delineation has all the features that are very beneficial for customers, though the implementation is a bit more manual work, which can be reduced with a low-code platform. Along with that, we can have a better UI to have intuitiveness and can manage the platform for shared customers in a better way. Overall, it is a very good tool for PAM.

I actually haven't had to work with support. I have spoken to a colleague of mine who has worked with support and has been pleased.

Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that users are ok with struggling in their onboarding process.

There were not very many solutions that provided the entire package of taking an account from creation and deactivating it when no longer needed, as well as providing the discovery of unknown service accounts. Other solutions like RoboForm and LastPass did not offer the ability to manage your service accounts and added layers of complication to ensure security.

• Gives employer the piece of mind knowing that passwords are safely stored in one place
• If an employee leaves, you don't have to go searching for passwords, they should all be in one place in Bitwarden.

• It has increased our security profile within our organization
• it has made implementation of complex password policies easier to achieve
• It has assisted with the hardening of the infrastructure by automatically proecting our service accounts and rotating passwords regularly
