The report card
Best for company vaults for admin and service accounts
Secret Server is a vault for privileged accounts, with discovery, rotation and session monitoring aimed at IT departments. The page publishes no price and gives only a quote request, and the pages we read name no apps or browser extension.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, only a quote request, so there is nothing to place against the $2.99 middle subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day trial is on offer. The page does not say whether it needs a card, and there is no free plan. |
| Features | C | Vault, account discovery, rotation, session monitoring and resilient secrets. It is built for privileged access, and the listing says it is not for personal logins. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is an enterprise product with accounts and policies to set up before it is useful. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web access is the only access recorded. No apps, extension or integrations list were found on the pages read. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 49 other password managers grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Delinea Secret Server’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
