We performed a comparison between Delinea Secret Server and Symantec Privileged Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I like that you can change the password remotely."
"One of the features I find most valuable is workflow, which allows you to configure the solution to have multiple approvals."
"The privileged access management module is the most reliable feature."
"It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment."
"Provides us with the ability to control access [to secrets] by groups."
"The ability to give some groups access to different kind of databases with the storage of a password is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the random changing of passwords."
"We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues."
"Whoever built it from the ground up, they understand how an organization is laid out."
"We know we can scale up with what we have, and we probably will not need to buy any further appliances down the road."
"It is great for identity governance."
"Stability is solid as a rock."
"For me, it is the robust API which is the most valuable feature. This allows for low maintenance costs and allows applications to automatically connect. This is great to automate security of the DevOps pipeline for shared secrets across environments. Also, being on Linux and a virtual appliance is great."
"We can enforce complicated password policies and very important frequent password changes."
"The DB clustering is a really good benefit of using CA PAM."
"The challenge for me with Delinea is that I may not be able to pitch it to an account with a low budget for PAM."
"I would like to see the shadowing of ongoing terminal sessions (Remote Desktop Mirroring)."
"Delinea Secret Server needs to improve its reporting."
"The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome. It's not an easy process."
"It would be better if they had a Linux version of the secret server."
"One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic."
"In terms of what could be improved, the whole thing with distributed engines, et cetera, is a little bit tricky."
"We could definitely use some help with API tokenization. If we had a way to store tokens that would be fabulous."
"Bring more technology into the portfolio and being able to collapse those products into a much more integrated way."
"I wish it could create local accounts on desktops."
"An improvement for this solution is that it should not be constantly based on user name and password. There should be a condition to edit and update your username."
"Instead of just giving passwords to the user based on job function, from auditing perspective, turn that cycle around. That would really help from an auditing standpoint."
"The response time for support could be faster. Some features should be added: cloud-based, VPN-less, more secure, and it should be adjusted in a hybrid environment."
"The setup is complex."
"What I hope happens with the new product CA PAM is to keep all the useful features that exist in PA, but what I’ve noticed with many new products is the UI gets polished but systems lags stability and performance or it adds additional complexity instead of simplifying the user experience."
"We have to do a lot of manual work to automate features."
