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

"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is flexible."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The reporting is excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"One Identity Manager is a powerful and reliable identity governance solution suitable for large enterprise environments, offering strong automation, security, and compliance features that help streamline access management and, once properly implemented, deliver long-term value and improved overall operational efficiency."
"The solution provides an identity-centric approach which supports achieving a Zero Trust model, and it significantly reduces operational costs by allowing the same number of support team members to manage a greater number of systems."
"It is highly customizable, a feature that influenced our company's decision. We can easily customize it."
"Even without any customization, if you install it, configure it, it's ready... It's very powerful. Without any customization, it starts working."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is that it is relatively organized. I definitely appreciate that aspect. It is also relatively simple to use with a very easy flow to the GUI. The user interface is really top-notch."
"One Identity Manager is flexible and offers numerous connectors that enable us to serve as the core component of the system, as well as to construct our own connectors using the API."
"All our lifecycle processes have been improved; some processes used to last around five days, now they are about one day or a couple of hours, which is very good for the user experience of our workers."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The user interface could be more intuitive, especially for new administrators."
"The client application should transition to a web-based interface to improve administration flexibility. Improvements are also needed in the analytics, peer comparison, and recommendation features, as these areas were added later and require more development. More flexibility in the portal is needed for multi-tenant environments."
"Having new features for web developers in the One Identity Manager shop is an area for improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is its ServiceNow connection as ServiceNow is a major ITSM system player, but the current out-of-the-box feature proposed by One Identity Manager can only make simple incident requests to the system. My company is now in full ICL design, so it prefers for all concerns or requests to be sent properly to ServiceNow, so my company can have better control over the incident requests and be able to sort those out. The tool fits all my needs today, except for the ServiceNow connector. That's the only additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of One Identity Manager."
"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."
"Upgrading to a new version is consistently challenging and time-consuming."
"One Identity Manager would benefit from enhancements in flow customization and faster performance in large environments to make it more efficient."
"It would be nice to have more functionality in terms of connecting SAP systems, provisioning user accounts through SAP systems, and provisioning additional attributes."
"One Identity Manager needs better documentation and more examples, especially for beginners, as it has a steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."

"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"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."
