Understand business password vaults before you buy one
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
What is a business password vault?
A vault for employees, not administrators: it holds the logins staff use for everyday business apps.
Passwords in a shared sheet vs a business-user vault — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | A shared sheet of logins | Delinea Credential Manager |
|---|---|---|
| Where staff keep logins | Browsers, notebooks and a shared Excel file | A Delinea vault built for business users |
| Team accounts | One password sent round on chat | A shared account entry with named access |
| Who can see what | Whoever was copied on the message | Role-based access set by the admin |
| Protecting the store | A file with no second factor | MFA on the vault itself |
| On the phone | Screenshots of passwords | A mobile app on the same vault |
| What it is NOT | — | PAM, session recording, or an India-hosted service |
The cheapest test is the free trial: move one department’s shared logins into the vault and see what replaces the spreadsheet.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Vault
Delinea calls it an easy-to-use, enterprise-grade vault: one store for the usernames and passwords that employees outside IT need for the applications they use each day.
Extension
A browser extension brings the vaulted entries to the place most business apps are opened, so a login is pulled from the vault instead of a spreadsheet or the browser’s own store.
Mobile
A mobile app carries the same vault to the phone, which matters for field, sales and leadership staff who open company apps on a handset more than on a laptop.
Policy
Role-based access decides who sees which entry, MFA guards the vault, templates standardise what an entry holds, and shared accounts let a team use one login together.
One vault for staff logins — reached by browser extension or phone, governed by roles, MFA, templates and shared accounts.
Six capabilities. Store, govern, reach.
Delinea Credential Manager vaults the logins business users need, not the keys administrators hold.
One store for staff logins
Business users keep the credentials for their everyday applications in a Delinea vault rather than in notes or a shared sheet.
Entries built the same way
Templates define the fields an entry holds, so a team’s logins are recorded consistently and are easy to find later.
Access set by role
Role-based access control decides which people or teams can open each entry, instead of one password list for everyone.
A second factor on the vault
Multi-factor authentication protects the vault itself, so a phished vault password alone does not open every stored login.
Team accounts, kept in one place
Shared accounts let a team use one login, such as a social media or supplier portal, without passing it around in chat.
Browser and phone
A browser extension and a mobile app bring the vault to where staff sign in, whether at a laptop or on a handset.
PAM covers the administrators. Credential Manager covers everyone else’s logins.
Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
Staff logins under the PAM vendor you chose
PAM projects protect administrators and leave every other employee’s logins to the browser or a spreadsheet. Credential Manager is Delinea’s vault for that second group, so a team already running Secret Server can cover staff logins with the same vendor instead of a separate password manager.
Shared team accounts stop living in chat
Marketing’s social handles, finance’s bank portal and operations’ supplier sites are often one login used by many people. Shared accounts, gated by role-based access and MFA on the vault, replace the WhatsApp message with an entry whose access you can grant and revoke.
It reaches staff where they sign in
Business users will not open an admin console to fetch a password. Delinea ships a browser extension for the desk and a mobile app for the phone, and templates keep every entry in one shape, so the vault fits how people already work.
Where it stops
A password manager, not PAM: the page lists no session recording, elevation or infrastructure discovery. It states no deployment model, licence unit or price, and Delinea has published no product video. There is no India hosting region; plan for Singapore or the UAE.
The numbers behind the platform
What your Delinea Credential Manager rollout looks like
Find the shared logins
Ask each department which logins are shared or written down; bank, tax, supplier and social portals usually top the list.
Get the gaps answered
Have Delinea confirm in writing the deployment, hosting geography, licence unit and whether your Platform bundle covers it.
Pilot with one department
Start the free trial with finance or marketing, build templates and roles, and move their shared accounts into the vault.
Roll out extension and app
Push the browser extension and mobile app to the pilot users, switch on MFA, and retire the spreadsheet they replaced.
Extend and review access
Add the next departments, then review who holds each shared account so leavers and agencies lose access on time.
The review scoreboard
Modelled on Gartner Peer Insights structure. *Counts and breakdowns are illustrative pending verified review collection.
Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Our accounts team kept the bank portal login in an Excel file. It now sits in a shared entry only four people can open.”
“The social media handles moved into one shared account, and when an agency contract ended we removed their access in a minute.”
“Field sales use the mobile app more than the extension. That surprised us, so test the phone experience in the pilot.”
“Good vault for staff, but we had to ask twice for the licence unit and the hosting region before the quote made sense.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and G2 retired its Grid. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the business password vault market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.

Which approach fits you?
Honest fit signals — because the fastest way to lose your trust is to pretend one product wins every scenario.
Choose Delinea Credential Manager if…
- ✓Secret Server or another Delinea product already protects your admins and you want staff logins with the same vendor
- ✓The problem is shared team logins in spreadsheets and chat, and role-based access with MFA on the vault is enough
- ✓Hosting in Singapore or the UAE is acceptable to your auditors, or you have confirmed another delivery in writing
Compare alternatives if…
- ✓The vault must sit on servers in India — ARCON My Vault, Securden or self-hosted Bitwarden Enterprise allow it
- ✓You want a price before a sales call — 1Password and Bitwarden publish per-user rates, and Securden is free for five
- ✓You need SSO and SCIM documented today — Keeper Enterprise, 1Password Business and Bitwarden list them
Do not expect…
- ✓Session recording, elevation or infrastructure discovery: that is Secret Server or Server PAM
- ✓A published price, a stated licence unit or a documented deployment model on the product page
- ✓An India region, an official product video, or an analyst placement for Credential Manager itself
Delinea Credential Manager is one of 29 privileged access management products TechBag carries. The Privileged Access Management guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
What do scattered staff logins cost you?
Drag the sliders (business users with work logins; staff-hour cost). Estimates model staff time lost to locked-out accounts, hunting for shared logins and resetting forgotten passwords at an assumed 1.5 hours per user a year, with 70% of it removed by one vault with shared accounts. Both figures are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.
Three ways to consume it
Not published: Delinea prices Credential Manager on request and does not say whether it counts users, seats or a bundle allowance. The Delinea Platform bundles (Essentials, Standard, Enterprise) list 15 or 30 business-user seats beside admin seats, also without prices, and do not name this product. TechBag gets the licence unit and hosting in writing, then quotes in INR with GST.

The 8 questions to ask every vendor
Take this into your next vendor call — including ours.
Is the need staff logins, or administrator credentials? The second is Secret Server, not this product.
Has Delinea confirmed in writing how Credential Manager is delivered, given the product page does not say?
Will your auditors accept a tenant in Singapore or the UAE, since the Delinea Platform has no India region?
Is it counted per user, per seat or inside a Platform bundle’s business-user allowance of 15 or 30?
Can staff sign in to the vault through your existing identity provider? The product page does not say.
Have pilot users tested both the browser extension and the mobile app on the devices they really use?
Who owns each shared login, and who removes access when an employee or an agency leaves?
Does the quote name the product, user count, hosting geography and term, in INR with GST?
