Featured Reviews

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.

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"What I like the most is the flexibility or configurability."
"The policy and role management features are very powerful and useful for our customers."
"The solution is flexible because you can realize the customer needs. Therefore, it is easy to upgrade specialized things. It provides the flexibly, so you can implement customers' use cases."

"Implementing One Identity Manager has completely eliminated the manual process, indirectly saving our organization's money and providing a clear return on investment through significantly reducing manual efforts for business reports and saving considerable time for the quality team."
"This is almost a complete solution for us."
"We chose this product for being able to accommodate our requirements. It's very flexible, and it's open to being developed to our requirements."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"Upgrading to a new version is consistently challenging and time-consuming."
"The platform is very powerful, but the learning curve is steep for new administrators and new users."
"It is a very powerful solution, but when it comes to doing some complex parameterization or authorization, we end up coding. Comparatively, CA solutions require less coding. It is more powerful than the CA solutions, but you end up with coding in VB.Net or C#. Complex parameterization could be better from their side."
"I would like to have more advanced features and reporting added to One Identity Manager."
"One Identity Manager's documentation is something they can improve, and I believe much of this is related to translation since it is a German company."
"The support from One Identity is very poor. The response is often delayed and lacks actionable advice, such as suggesting updates without confidence in their effectiveness."
"One Identity Manager's support model has room for improvement, especially when compared to competitors like Omada and SailPoint, which offer a more extensive global presence and support network."
"One Identity Manager is currently in the process of modernizing its UI, which I hope will result in a more user-friendly interface for its Identity Manager. However, it is uncertain whether they have plans to consolidate their various tools into a unified system to simplify configuration and tasks."
 

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 model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"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 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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"Its price is okay."
"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."
