Featured Reviews

Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Neha Chhangani - PeerSpot reviewer

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 reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"We are getting cost savings by automating system integrations."
"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important."
"One Identity Manager is very customizable to meet customer requirements."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted the organization by reducing account creation and access approval times from days or weeks to minutes or hours through automated workflows."
"One Identity Manager offers identity-centric security, acting as a single source of truth by centralizing identity data for users, devices, and applications. It supports role-based access control and automatically assigns and reworks roles to minimize privileges."
"It's very easy to roll out."
"The flexibility of the solution: We are able to use what is out-of-the-box, customize and prioritize it, then further develop it to meet our needs."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is it simplifies user-account provisioning and administration. One Identity offers a comprehensive range of solutions that cater to almost every aspect of the identity and access management domain."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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."
"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 is a bit complex."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The user interface can be a bit clunky. It could be more modern."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"The tool did not allow beyond a specific level of visibility; it provided visibility at the user level, not at the level of nested entitlements, resulting in an inaccurate depiction from the asset manager's point of view."
"Default connectors work fine, but certain connectors, such as SCIM to SAP Cloud Identity Services connector, have quite a few bugs."
"One improvement could be a focus on documents, specifically an official document for the advanced troubleshooting guide so that anyone can understand and troubleshoot effectively."
"The current version we have is stable but there are bugs, of course. There are many bugs."
"One Identity Manager is a powerful platform, but the UI could be more intuitive, and some advanced configurations and customizations have a fairly steep learning curve."
"The web interface has room for improvement. It could be more performant and the design of the web interface is relatively complicated. It could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"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."
