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

"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The solution is flexible."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support."
"User onboarding and off-boarding previously used to take a few hours and can now be completed in minutes."
"One Identity Manager automates user provisioning and de-provisioning, enables a faster employee onboarding process, reduces manual work for IT teams, and provides better visibility of who has access and what kind of access each user has."
"For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature."
"One Identity Manager is more scalable and customizable than other products I have worked on, and user customization isn't as complicated. Defender, One Identity's PAM solution, is useful for rotating passwords in the developer's evolving facilities."
"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by making the onboarding a little bit smoother."
"The self-service functionality of One Identity Manager is arguably the most valuable feature."
"A strong return on investment has been seen with One Identity Manager, as automation reduced the time spent on user provisioning, access approvals, and compliance reporting, which significantly lowered manual administrative effort and improved operational efficiency."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Overall, One Identity Manager is a really good and very powerful product. However, Starling Connect could have been a little better."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"The UI could be more intuitive and modern because new admins usually find the navigation and configuration quite complex, especially during initial setup."
"However, there have been instances where we had tickets open for months without any resolution."
"One area that could be improved is the speed of performance - it's often a bit slower because of the size of its database."
"Integration and implementation complexity would be one area for improvement in One Identity Manager."
"From a user experience perspective, One Identity Manager is good; the only difficulty I find sometimes is because it's a Windows application, it's very difficult to view all data since it's a limited Windows space."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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 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."
"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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
