Great for managing access to secrets and servers and is more secure than storing passwords in a browser. The browser plugin to autofill passwords works well. Being able to schedule access ahead of time is a big plus for me as I can be forgetful. If you want a lightweight password vault, however, it may not be the best choice.

Thycotic Secret Service is especially well suited for password management through password rotation. This makes it easy to implement complex password management policies by defining regular rotations. The ability to have Thychotic log a user directly into the protected resource without having to know the password makes it well suited in our environment. This ensures that our passwords are complex without having to keep remembering them.

Using Secret Server as a centralized password repository is a must in today's world where every password needs to be different. Being able to have passwords rotated is another must as passwords should be frequently changed. If they could improve their mobile app, that would be fantastic!

Appropriate when trying to manage many services with high-level privileges across many machines. Not really a tool to just save your passwords like LastPass or Pleasant Password Server. Useful when you require auditing of user access.

Secret Server is a great tool for privileged access management. Not only can you securely store passwords, but users can access their servers within this solution without ever having to view or enter the password.

Secret Server is really a great solution for any business that needs more than one person to have access to passwords for various devices, systems, and websites. Even an organization with only one person who would need access, if that person was no longer around, a simple change in Active Directory could assign those permissions to their successor. Candidly, the only scenario I can think of where a business might not want Secret Server would be a sole-proprietorship that was unconcerned with succession or security in general. The free version has no cost beyond using a server, and it's pretty low overhead.

I actually really like that we have Secret Server. It is WAAAAY better than anything else we've used. I do feel like in today's age, there should be a better interface, mobile app, etc. I just don't see that with Secret Server. If it exists, we are not using it. In a smaller company, this interface would probably work out ok. If you have hundreds or thousands of users, the sharing feature will leave something to be desired.
