Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Delinea Secret Server
Best for: Teams that need a vault for shared admin credentials
Delinea Secret Server earns its spot as the vault-first choice, because it starts from the most common PAM problem: shared admin passwords and the audit evidence around them. It suits mid-size and large companies that need that evidence for auditors soon. If your goal is zero standing privilege, check how it pairs with the wider Delinea Platform, since the vault is only the base.

- Idira
Best for: Enterprises putting PAM, secrets and identity governance on one platform
Idira is here for the enterprise that wants to replace several identity point products with one platform, including controls for AI agents. That breadth pays off only if you plan to use most of it, so map which of your current products it would retire. If you only need PAM today, ask whether you can start with that and add the rest later.
