cost_drivers:
  - name: Privileged Account Count
    description: Secret Server is priced per privileged account managed, so the number of accounts discovered and vaulted directly drives licensing costs.
  - name: Admin and Business User Count
    description: Each pricing tier has included user counts for administrators and business users. Exceeding these counts requires upgrading to a higher tier.
  - name: Server and Workstation Count
    description: Standard and Enterprise tiers include a set number of managed servers and workstations; additional endpoints may incur extra cost.
  - name: Storage
    description: Each tier includes tiered storage (2TB, 4TB, 6TB). Exceeding storage limits may require tier upgrade or add-on.
  - name: Engine and Site Count
    description: Essentials tier caps at 4 engines; Standard and Enterprise are unlimited. Multi-site deployments should factor this into tier selection.
  - name: Add-on Products
    description: Products such as DevOps Secrets Vault, Privilege Manager, Privileged Behavior Analytics, Account Lifecycle Manager, and Cloud Suite are separately licensed.
optimization_strategies:
  - name: Right-size privileged account vaulting
    description: Regularly audit and remove stale privileged accounts from the vault to reduce per-account licensing costs.
  - name: Consolidate to platform bundles
    description: Organizations using multiple Delinea products may find better value in platform bundles versus individual product licensing.
  - name: Use the free trial for evaluation
    description: Leverage the 30-day free trial of Secret Server to validate API integration requirements before purchasing.
  - name: Negotiate annual contracts
    description: Delinea sells through direct negotiation; multi-year commitments or volume deals may yield discounts from the $3,226 to $44,501 annual contract range.
  - name: DevOps Secrets Vault for CI/CD
    description: For developer-focused secrets management in pipelines, DevOps Secrets Vault may be a lower-cost entry point than full Secret Server licensing.
