Featured Reviews

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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"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 Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support."
"It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it."
"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."
"It has really reduced the workload of the IT team by almost 40 to 60 percent."
"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized. It is like a framework. You can customize it very far from its core functionality, and it will still work."
"It's very easy to roll out."
"It is highly customizable, a feature that influenced our company's decision. We can easily customize it."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use. There is no need to follow extensive documentation; you just need to go through the process while raising a request."
"From what I heard, everyone said that before One Identity Manager, they had many workflows and loopholes, and after starting to use it, those issues were addressed, creating a very positive experience for the customer."
 

Cons

"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"The implementation of the tool and management on the infra side is a bit difficult."
"The initial setup was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
"There is a need to improve the use case documentation and coding templates."
"The documentation is poor. For example, the synchronization editor has a lot of things happening, but there's just a description. If you want to do something specific with that like create custom views, they just say go to the extension and select the UUID. However, if we don't have a UUID for this view, it will not work. That isn't in the documentation."
"One Identity has a self-service portal but many customers need a helpdesk where they can go in and request. To make that happen we need to do a lot of customization. Maybe that could be improved..."
"I would like One Identity Manager to offer an easier way for users to learn to use their new features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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 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 pricing is moderate."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"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."
"Its price is okay."
