We’re paying about $10k per year in support/maintenance costs for an on-prem install of Thycotic.  That’s for ~30 users.

I think it’s a total rip-off (but admittedly, we’re using it as more of a password manager than a true PAM).

Austin, those numbers do not match up at all with what I'm paying for Secret Server. While my policy is never to give 
our numbers to anybody. I will give some rough numbers.

annual support is less than $15 per user, the initial (perpetual) license is around $100 per user.

I wonder if the quotes you got were for one of the higher levels, or for their hosted solution.

 which is developed by UT Austin's ISO (who also developed DorkBot, ISORA, and other security tools) and provisioned in 
a SaaS model through SaltyCloud (a "public benefit corporation"). We use it for both end-user credentials as well as 
securing/sharing other secrets (e.g., API keys, license keys, S/MIME certificates, etc). It integrates with our campus 
SSO and has a very robust "M-of-N" security model for administrator access to end-user secrets (requires a quorum, so 
that a single administrator can't retrieve end-user secrets unilaterally).

Thanks,

Looks like this topic hasn’t been discussed in a while (~2 years).  We *have* had around 100 users in LastPass 
Enterprise for our IT department for the past 4 years.  This is the 4th year in a row that the price has increased 100% 
year over year.  It was $8/year/user 4 years ago.  So over 4 years $8*2*2*2 = ~62/year/user today.  What is everyone 
else using these days?  Are you using DUO with it as well?  Thanks!
