    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.

    If you need users to reset passwords but don't have VPN access to your network, this is one of the best options. It also works very well for helping a locked-out user, provided they have taken the time to set up their account. Then, of course, they need to remember the details, but when they have dotted all of the i's, it just works.

    Pros
    Delinea (Centrify + Thycotic)
    • 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.

    • Remote password changes when not connected to a VPN or at a remote office
    • MFA for certain user groups allows standard users to work normally without additional effort
    • Excellent reporting
    • MFA for certain services such as terminal access greatly enhances security to these servers.

    Cons
    Delinea (Centrify + Thycotic)
    • 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.

    • Assist with post-implementation reviews to ensure we configured everything correctly
    • Better integration with mobile devices such as an app to change M365 passwords for our mobile-only users
    • It would be great if password changes of mobile users updates the AD so these accounts don't reflect as dormant AD accounts.

    Usability
    Delinea (Centrify + Thycotic)
    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.

    For end users the product is very easy to use. For administration, you may need to do some looking around or contact support to achieve complex tasks. However the product is very flexible. Every dialog box, banner, etc can be customized if needed. Also, support is very good at helping with any issues.

    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.

    I did some research but did not find any other solutions that worked the same way or did what I needed it to do. I've used other manage engine products in the past and knew I could trust their software.

    • Much fewer help tickets for users with expiring passwords.
    • The automated emails mean we don't miss anyone whose password is expiring.
    • We've also used the MFA option for admin access to servers, adding that little extra peace of mind that they are secure.
