The vault is table stakes.
The platform is the difference.
Monopam matches the PAM core: encrypted vault, rotation, session recording, just-in-time approvals. Then the platform keeps going: SSO for 7,000+ apps, MFA, lifecycle, and access reviews in the same console, at per-concurrent-session pricing.
PAM that comes with identity
Delinea is a PAM specialist. Monofor covers PAM and the rest of identity (SSO, MFA, lifecycle, governance), so privileged access policy and workforce identity live in one console instead of two vendors.
Sessions, not seats
Monopam is licensed per concurrent privileged session. Admins, targets, and vaulted credentials are unlimited; the bill tracks actual privileged activity, not your org chart.
No agent fleet, no rollout project
Browser-based RDP, SSH, and database sessions mean day-one access from any machine. Resource discovery pulls from AD, Azure, and AWS automatically.
Monofor vs Delinea,
feature by feature.
At the vault the products are at parity. The gap opens at platform scope (identity and governance in the box) and at how the license is counted.

Common questions.
- How does Monofor compare to Delinea Secret Server?
- On the PAM core (vaulting, rotation, session recording, just-in-time approvals), the products cover the same ground. The difference is scope and pricing: Monofor ships identity (SSO, MFA, lifecycle) and governance in the same platform, and licenses PAM per concurrent session rather than per user.
- We already use Delinea for the vault. Can we add Monofor identity around it?
- Yes. Monosign runs alongside any PAM tool; it federates via SAML/OIDC and can front Delinea consoles with SSO and MFA. Many teams start there, then consolidate the vault into Monopam at renewal time to drop a vendor.
- What does migration involve?
- Credentials import into the Monopam vault, and resources are discovered from Active Directory, Azure, and AWS. Session access is browser-based, so there is no agent fleet or client rollout to plan.
- Is Monofor suitable for mid-market teams?
- That is the sweet spot. Deployment takes minutes, not a services engagement; support is included rather than tiered; and per-concurrent-session licensing keeps the bill proportional to actual privileged activity.
