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 reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Delinea has very good support."
"One Identity Manager has improved operational efficiency, strengthened access governance, and reduced manual dependency across our on-premises environment, giving us faster onboarding and offboarding, fewer access-related issues, improved compliance readiness, and better visibility into our access management process."
"I like the customer-facing portal because it is simple to use for end users."
"Using this solution means that our engineers do not need to log in to a domain controller as frequently, and instead they can log in using One Identity to perform all of the administrative tasks, which is beneficial from a security perspective and also helps to complete the task in the least amount of time."
"One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration."
"One Identity Manager was the right decision in comparison to other market products."
"The short version is that we gained significant insight into the issues of access governance. This allowed us to turn an auditing nightmare into praise from our auditors."
"The One Identity birthright process has helped generate user accounts more accurately and quickly."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company through cost reduction and less effort in the individual departments for the technicians who used to manually create users in Active Directory, which now all happens automatically."
 

Cons

"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"One Identity Manager could be improved because the community is a bit small, and the documentation sometimes isn't clear or interactive."
"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."
"Make logging and debugging easier to find, I never quite know which log to turn on for which use case (just for my tools, for the job service user, etc)."
"While One Identity Manager works well for our on-prem setup, initial configuration and customization can be complex and time-consuming."
"Right now, they run an on-prem solution. Our preferred solution for cloud is Azure. So, we have yet to determine how we want to take this forward, because at this time, we are only using Graph APIs to do some Azure-related actions."
"The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"Their support can be better. They can also improve testing of their product before releasing new versions. We have had a few critical issues after upgrading to a newer version, which also caused problems with auditing."
 

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 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 price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"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."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"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."
