Featured Reviews

Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Consultant at Wipro Limited
Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.

Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"I am satisfied with One Identity Manager for providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of privileged accounts and data."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is its object-oriented architecture."
"One Identity Manager has improved efficiency and better control over user access management."
"The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."
"Since we are using One Identity Manager, we have seen a significant positive impact by improving our security through ensuring users only receive the access they need and reducing manual work, making identity management more efficient and organized."
"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."
"Allows the delegation of permissions related to identity management and also visual representation of the configuration as opposed to having to go through loads of scripts which was the case with our previous solution."
"One of the best features in One Identity Manager that I really appreciate is its high customizability."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"Enhancing the solution by incorporating additional features to make it comprehensive would be beneficial. It would be more convenient to have a complete package solution that consolidates all the features in one place, making it easier to manage. Currently, I am required to access two separate servers for reports, which could be avoided if all the necessary features were available in a single location. This would be highly advantageous for managing everything effectively."
"Because their company is so focused on just their tool and related technology, they can't support you much. At times, it becomes frustrating. While you are paying a little less than your competitors, you expect some support, compliance, or expertise from the company. If a certain load balancer is unable to handle your tool, you should know what load balancer would be perfect or what configuration you should use."
"The user interface can be a bit clunky. It could be more modern."
"In regards to the front end, the portal that is offered to our users needs improvement. There is room for improvement on that side, particularly in user experience."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"One area that One Identity Manager should improve is the web designer, as it is difficult to implement a new form from scratch."
"The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. The journey from implementing to joining all the systems was difficult."
"We have some performance problems, so pushing to scale is a challenge."
"Customer support for One Identity Manager is generally good, especially for identity governance and integration-related issues. However, complex cases or advanced customizations can sometimes take longer to resolve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
