Narrative analysis: differentiators and trade-offs

Delinea vs BeyondTrust: - Both vendors commonly use direct contact for enterprise pricing; implementation services can represent a significant additional cost. Choice between these vendors frequently depends on overall cost, support expectations, and the importance of session management and brokering. Delinea vs ManageEngine PAM360: - ManageEngine publicly publishes clearer price tables, which may benefit buyers with constrained budgets. Buyers should perform proof-of-concept testing and reference checks to validate the depth of session brokering and enterprise integration support. Customer switch behavior: - Some customers move to simpler or lower-cost vaulting solutions when needs narrow to basic credential storage and rotation; others stay with PAM vendors for deeper governance, auditing, and session controls. Market share and adoption trends: - Historical reporting around the vendor rebrand referenced notable adoption. Current market share and adoption metrics should be drawn from up-to-date market research.
