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

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The stability and performance are 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 reporting is excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"It is a flexible because it is customizable. It allows you to build anything on top of it."
"The SAP integration is One Identity Manager's most valuable feature."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."
"One of the best features in One Identity Manager that I really appreciate is its high customizability."
"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
"One Identity Manager has made the audit process smoother for my team and organization, which is the most important outcome."
"One Identity Manager helps achieve an identity-centric Zero Trust model."
 

Cons

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The integration with sync 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."
"The initial setup was complex. It is an extremely complicated thing to replace an entire self-built solution."
"The platform is very powerful, but the learning curve is steep for new administrators and new users."
"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."
"One Identity Manager could be improved because the community is a bit small, and the documentation sometimes isn't clear or interactive."
"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."
"The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company."
"The UI could be more intuitive and modern because new admins usually find the navigation and configuration quite complex, especially during initial setup."
"We have seen a little ROI when there was a restructuring reduction in the market for user management teams, but not enough to cover the cost of the project."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
