What is Devolutions Server?
Devolutions Server (DVLS) is a self-hosted, centralized platform designed to manage shared accounts, credentials, and privileged access for businesses of all sizes. DVLS offers high-level security with advanced encryption, role-based access controls (RBAC), session auditing, and privileged session management. Its key differentiators include integration with Remote Desktop Manager and Devolutions Hub, as well as support for custom security policies and extensive compliance reporting. By enforcing stricter control over privileged access, DVLS minimizes the risk of data breaches and ensures compliance with industry regulations, and is designed to deliver ROI through improved security and operational efficiency.

Devolutions Server is a great PAM tool that met all of our needs!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Devolutions Server in conjunction with Remote Desktop Manager to connect to servers and devices on our network. Devolutions Server allows us to securely store our passwords, it integrates with Office 365 and can provide 2-factor authorization where we require it. We also love role-based access control! To be able to set access to different teams depending on what they need to do in the tool is fantastic!

The great case of Devolutions Server
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Devolutions Server together with Remote Desktop Manager. It is used to have a website that uses RDM to store and manage important passwords for different projects. One of the main issues we had was that the employees used multiple password management tools to store critical passwords for customer's machines and interfaces. To put a stopper to this we came across Devolutions and their brilliant solutions. Now employees can structure their passwords per projects to get access to a specific password in no time. In the near future we also plan to "upgrade" the use of Devolutions Server/RDM to be connected to our project database. By doing this all employees will get a pre-structured map-structure with the projects they are working on. This way, the employees don't have to do it themselves.
Pros
- Gives you the possibility to access your passwords and everything you store there anywhere you are and anytime you want to!
- Uptime! This is relevant for all Devolutions products
- AD connections. The fact that we can add over 300+ users (size of our company) without manually sending out a link for people to create their user profile.
Cons
- Easier ways to adjust inherit or at least access directly into a file/folder. If I want to give a user access to a specific folder inside a project, I have to manually remove his access to other folders in that project.
Most Important Features
- Store and manage passwords.
- Access anywhere, anytime.
- Easily upgradeable and scalable.
Return on Investment
- By giving the employees access to a reliable password management for work-related things, it has given us more control over where and how passwords are stored.
- Many have their passwords store locally at their computer in a "locked" Excel file, but now they have a reliable place to store their own personal passwords.
- We have 300+ employees, and every feedback I have gotten has been positive.

Great, secure, and easy to use and access
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Devolutions VLS as a way to gather information from different sources, so we don't have to find Server information in one place, password information in another place,and customer information in a third place. We also use it to easily log on to our servers without the need for typing passwords every time, which saves a lot of time. Lastly, it is a great secure way to store confidential information.
Pros
- Multiple way to access your data
- Easy server management
- Of course easy and secure access/storage of your data
Cons
- There is always (In all software) minor places that could use some tweaking but the way Devolutions listen to posts on the forum and implements this, I can't really pinpoint any major places for improvement.
- Pricing. Not to say that it is overpriced, but for enthusiasts having to buy DVLS is pricey.
- If there is one thing, the startup speed of the program. Maybe by selecting modules that you use or which you don't, but as it is open all day most day, it not that big of an issue.
Most Important Features
- Security
- Easy to use
- Easy to access
Return on Investment
- We are very new to Devolutions in this company, so we can't say yet.
