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.

“Centralized Credential Management Improves Security in Oracle Fusion Environments”

4.0
May 14, 2026
As an Oracle Technical Developer working across multiple Oracle Fusion environments (SIT, UAT and Production), Secret Server has become an essential part of my daily work life. In my previous project where Secret Server was not available, it was a a security nightmare to store credentials of 40+ users and instances out of which few were frequently expiring so I had to constantly update my spreadsheet with updated credentials. Now, in my current project, Secret server serves as a secure, centralized password vault to collect credentials without the need for manual tracking. This platform has significantly improved our security measures and streamlined our daily work across multiple Oracle Fusion environments.

CRITICAL

“Simple and accessible, but lacking depth for advanced use cases”

3.0
Jun 1, 2026
The overall experience with Delinea Secret Server is mixed. The platform is easy to deploy and user-friendly, which makes onboarding and daily usage straithtfoward. However, several key capabilities did not meet expectations. Account discovery has shown several errors for Active Directory and we were unable to discover Oracle accounts, which was a critical requirement for our environment. The Service Now integration, which was a major selling point, is fairly limited in practice. Additionnally, some advanced use cases in the Linux environment are not well supported.

Secret Server Likes & Dislikes

Like

There are many features that I like in this tool. I love the fact that I can quickly find specific credentials by searching just the user name or the environment in the search box, which is a must have while switching between different Oracle instances. As per the roles assigned to us, only the relevant credentials are visible to us which is helpful in avoiding a cluttered list of credentials. Since the day I have started using this tool, I no longer need to save the credentials for multiple users and environments in my local system as i can quickly get them from Secret server with few clicks. Also, as a senior developer, I constantly have to share multiple credentials with my junior team members. In my previous project where Secret Server was not there, I had to be cautious and used to remain skeptical about which user's credential is being given to whom but in my current project i do not have to worry at all as everything is tracked in secret server. This also creates a sense of responsibility and ownership within my team members while accessing the confidential data over the oracle fusion. Also, for a few of the common deployment users in secret server, we have the check out option enabled due to which only one developer can use that credential for 2 hours and during that time no one else can use that credential. This helps us avoid duplicate deployments and overriding of each others work during Production deployment.

Like

Simple and user-friendly Quick initial setup Centralized credential management Session auditing and monitoring

Like

Delinea Secret Server provides centralized privileged credentials, automated password rotation and access controls without disrupting daily operations. Strong auditing and integration capabilities give clear visibility and confidence that privileged access is both secure and compliant.

Dislike

Secret server does its job really well. The only issue that I have personally felt is the constant session timeouts happening when the secret server tab in the browser is not accessed for some time. During long and busy development cycles this kind of requires frequent re-authentication from my side, causing distractions from the actual work.

Dislike

Inconsistent account discovery Inability to discover and manage local Oracle accounts Limited Service Now integration

Dislike

One area of improvement with Delinea Secret Server is the lack of native options to hide or remove end user vaults that are offboarded or migrated to the managers. This leads to bloat and visibility over time.
