One password portal to rule them all

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Secret server is the best password site to be used between users. With the ability to sort clients, types of secrets, generate passwords, link directly to logins, copy and paste passwords, and obfuscation of passwords, the list honestly goes on. You can be scheduled to be notified if someone accesses a certain password, or if someone needs to get a password they don’t normally have access to. There is a free version that I use at home to store all my passwords so that my wife has access, should she need them.

Cons:

The ability to make custom secrets is severely missed.

Revolutionizes the way you think about privileged access

With that many serevrs and systems owned, and with Secret Server capabilities, this allow to stop worrying about dependencies and password lifecycle management. It does the job - and lets you to get in when you need it.

Functionality

Pros:

We started by looking for a replacement product to password vault that we used as a team; we hoped to find a product that would provide more flexibility, universal access, auditing and role-based access. With Thycotic Secret Server we have found a comprehensive, all-in one system to maintain, provide, rotate and synchronize passwords across our versatile set of resources. It sports a great integration support with browsers and a tailored integrated putty (no more remote management solutions needed!) and provides a lot of flexibility including APIs that made our CI/CD pipelines happy. Oh, and a nice mobile app, too.

Cons:

It has a remarkable learning curve, and also still not all integrations are available (eg cannot update passwords stored in config files or registry).

Pros:

This software is pretty straight forward and without frills. It gets the job done and doesn't get too much in the way with flashy or over the top functionality.

Cons:

I wish they could keep the unnecessary functions down but give the interface a face lift. It's straight out of windows 95.

Top tier at what it does

Positive in both implementations I've been a part of, great at what it does if that's what you're looking for but less so if you need to stretch it beyond its niche.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of setup and use was the biggest pro for use. I've implemented this twice now in two different organizations and both time was able to design and implement a structure that offer better security and accessiblity in a couple of days, than previous systems and teams had accomplished in far longer.

Cons:

While it does everything you'd probably want, there are definately somethings it does better than others. It's great to managing passwords, less so for documentation.

Full-Featured Password Management Solution; Relatively Easy To Use

Secret Server provides a great way for us to store, manage, and provide access to passwords within our organization. Passwords stored range anywhere from company social accounts to AD service accounts used by IT/Engineering teams. I like that the software can be integrated into AD in order to manage access by group. It's also nice that the super admin cannot view all passwords in the software: they have the ability to add/remove users, but the access to the passwords themselves are separately managed.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I think the AD integration is the most important feature for us. It allows us to use our AD credentials when logging so we don't have to remember a separate set of credentials to get to all of our other credentials. It also allows for AD group management of access to our specific password folders within Secret Server.

Cons:

We don't fully utilize all of the extended features, so the cost of the product is becoming a bit steep for us. We were able to negotiate good pricing when we had more users utilizing the software, but now that our team is much smaller now, our licensing is set to go up. That being said, the licensing cost is the worst part for our company as it is set to double at our upcoming renewal.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

This ease of use for this software is great. We deployed it into our environment and users of all technical abilities have been able to utilize it. The ability to share secure passwords across teams is a handy feature as well. As admins, we share admin passwords for our Xerox machines, or other admin passwords that are needed throughout our daily work that need to be securely stored. There is also a feature to create complex passwords, which provides auto-generated passwords that can be as complex as you want.

Pros:

The importing of the account is simple and I like the history of the password. I can roll back the password in seconds. And importing different domain account works.

Cons:

The training could be updated to match the new GUI interface and be interactive. It's very dry and while the videos are short, they seem longer due to no interactive learning.

Enterprise Password Management

Coming from previous password solutions like KeePass make this an attractive product although it is expensive it offers many security minded features but like many products, its strength lies in the hands organizational or departmental leadership. For passwords that must be group shared, the tool is useful.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Functional password manager with features that allow users to share and update passwords without risking the compromise of authentication information. Allows for auditing and history to ensure that trust is maintained.

Cons:

Too easy for someone to use master admin and access information that is not needed. Organizational policies and manager preferences can make this tool difficult to trust by users. Browser interface can be clunky and difficult to navigate. If you have multiple groups using the product, extra thought needs to be given to how data will be shared and organized.
