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 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."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"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."
"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."
"This solution has helped to increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users in our systems. This solution has been really been effective with our retail workers. It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it. The management of the solution is pretty automated."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted our organization by adding more visibility on what we have, what we need, and what compliance features or compliance requirements we need to fulfill while allowing us to provide audit records on time and in a very useful way."
"One Identity Manager has improved efficiency and better control over user access management."
"The automation through One Identity Manager has helped us completely, mainly the user onboarding which has helped us decrease the amount of time taken for user onboarding, and the RBA concept in One Identity Manager has also helped us in decreasing the time the user has to wait for application access from around five days to just within one hour."
"One Identity Manager stands out because it offers a wide range of features without requiring complex installation or ongoing maintenance."
"The tool is one of the best tools, out-of-the-box."
"My favorite feature is the visualization, because when you open an identity, you can see what is linked to it, such as rules or departments, and I really appreciate how you can see things that are connected rather than just viewing them in a list from a database."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"There is always a need for improvement based on the features, which is why I deducted one point from the overall rating."
"Transitioning from legacy technologies, like for a seasoned web designer moving to Angular, can be challenging and requires dedicated learning."
"The user interface of our web shop, which customers interact with directly, needs improvement."
"I would like to see the possibility of being supported during the migration to the Angular portal as an improvement in One Identity Manager."
"To improve Identity Manager by One Identity, the web portal could get some enhancement to make it easier to use, more user-friendly, and intuitive, and the performance could also be improved, especially on the large SQL datasets."
"Using dynamic business roles can degrade the performance of One Identity Manager."
"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 front end of One Identity Manager could be made much simpler, as I find it a little bit complex to navigate."

"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."

"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"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."
