Overview

Product Information on Secret Server

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Secret Server?

Secret Server is a software designed to provide organizations with security and management of privileged accounts. The software offers features such as secure storage, retrieval, and auditing of passwords and credentials for applications, devices, and services across an organization. It includes automated password rotation, access controls, session monitoring, and reporting to help mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access. The software addresses business challenges related to compliance requirements and protection against potential security breaches by ensuring that sensitive credentials are managed and monitored in a centralized platform.

Secret Server Pricing

Secret Server software uses a subscription-based pricing model with different tiers that offer varying features and support levels. Pricing is typically determined by the number of users, endpoints, or secrets managed, as well as the deployment method, which can include on-premises or cloud options. Additional modules and advanced features may be available as add-ons with separate fees.

CRITICAL

“Nice interface and UI, but frustrating lack of community resources.”

3.0
Jul 14, 2025
We had used Delinea Secrets server in a self-deployed model, integrating with our Entra ID for single sign on. The product itself was useful, with useful search functionality to locate secrets that someone else on our team had stored somewhere. However, our platform team locked down API or CLI access to it. As a result, none of our CI / CI pipelines ever used the product, and we ultimately only used it as a team password manager. Beyond that, we found few community resources available: "Secret Server" is such a generic term to search for. Community forums and github repos were hard to come by.

Secret Server Likes & Dislikes

Like

i. Session Recording and Keystroke ii. Awesome Graphical Interface with easy Operation features iii. Instant remote support for system-down issues at any time. iv. Stronger, higher availability v. Multi-layered workflow features

Like

I like the web-UI (responsive and easy to understand). The RBAC and SSO options were useful to us as we were able to tie these to our Azure Entra groups relatively easily.

Like

The dependency detection was critical for us and made our service account password rotations possible. In connection with that feature, Secret Server's Remote Password Changing feature is now a major part of our Incident Response playbooks as part of containment procedures in the event of compromised credentials for service accounts and privileged accounts.

Dislike

The deployment cost is little high, Some features have cloud dependency and don't have all file formats for reporting.

Dislike

We found the lack of community resources difficult to deal with. Having to rely on support or pre-sales for any minor integration question made the onboarding more difficult than if there were more youtube videos, discussion forums, or open-source tooling available. The platform team also did not open up API or CLI access for users, so we ultimately as engineers could not use the Secrets server more than a password manager.

Dislike

Some of the product documentation around API calls into Secret Server and Entra ID/Microsoft Graph hooks for Entra ID credential management were a little hard to follow, requiring us to contact support to get these features working.

    Excellent Value, Feature-rich for the price point

    5.0
    Oct 15, 2025
    We use Secret Server cloud to manage all of our service account credentials. The product works exactly as we have hoped and was critical in bringing all of our service account passwords into compliance. The dependency features in particular allowed our support and development teams develop a comfort level with rotating these passwords that was crucial to finishing the project. We're now looking to expand our use cases to include credentials that can be checked out and auto-rotated for domain/tool administration, clawing back privileges from individually assigned accounts.

    There have been periods when Secret Server functions as expected and times when using the platform was unreliable. In an environment where every system must run 24/7, inconsistency is the biggest concern.
