Delinea Connection Manager review
A focused desktop manager for audited RDP and SSH access in Delinea environments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Delinea Connection Manager is a desktop application for IT teams managing remote resources, privileged users, and multiple environments. It brings RDP and SSH sessions into one interface, allowing teams to launch and manage multiple simultaneous connections while organizing favorites and connections. Automatic credential injection, a local encrypted credential and connection vault, and integration with Delinea Secret Server support workflows that require controlled access to privileged credentials.
Its strongest fit is operational oversight. Session recording, audit trails, tracking, and advanced search for secrets and connection names give teams tools for reviewing activity and locating connections across managed environments. Secret Server integration also makes it more suitable for organizations already using Delinea's privileged access ecosystem than for teams seeking a standalone connection manager with broad third-party coverage. The product's protocol scope remains focused on RDP and SSH, so teams working with other remote access methods may need a different tool or an additional product.
Pricing is handled through a quote request, while Delinea publicly promotes a free trial. The published offering does not present a plan-by-plan structure, so buyers should assess commercial terms alongside their existing Delinea deployment. Windows and macOS desktop support covers the stated platforms, but organizations needing other desktop operating systems should look elsewhere. Choose Delinea Connection Manager when audited RDP and SSH access, credential injection, session recording, and Secret Server integration are priorities; consider alternatives when wider protocol coverage, broader platform support, or transparent self-service pricing matters more.
