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

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"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."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use. There is no need to follow extensive documentation; you just need to go through the process while raising a request."
"What I like the most is the flexibility or configurability."
"One Identity is one of the most feature-rich platforms on the market. It covers every use case. The user interface has been improved, making it easier to make it look like what customers want. It's easier to customize than a lot of competition solutions. There are nearly a thousand built-in processes that you can edit and customize according to your needs."
"From my personal experience, it is very easy to manage from one single console as I am managing all my PAM solutions, IAM solutions, team solutions, and the active directory through One Identity Manager, making it easy for us to manage all user level access and governance in a single place."
"I like the solution since it is very flexible, and I can basically do everything that I like and need with it."
"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."
"An outstanding feature of One Identity Manager, compared to SailPoint, is the dashboard where they present everything. With the dashboard, the customer can see how the integrations have happened."
"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized. It is like a framework. You can customize it very far from its core functionality, and it will still work."
 

Cons

"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 needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The use of the administrative tools is cumbersome because too many are required for configurations."
"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."
"My impression of the user experience and intuitiveness is that the learning curve is quite slow because there are many functions and things, and it becomes really complex at some point because there are many different modules."
"The product is quite scalable, except for the database which is not highly available. This is where scalability could be improved."
"Stability has been a challenge. With version 8, especially post go-live, we had a lot of problems."
"The web interface has room for improvement. It could be more performant and the design of the web interface is relatively complicated."
"More than one job server cannot be allocated per target/source system which can be a performance bottleneck."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"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 fairly priced."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
