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
Business Analyst at a startup based organization
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."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."
"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."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable."
"With automation, the process is typically completed within thirty to sixty minutes, and we have seen significantly fewer provisioning errors and much faster offboarding, which helps reduce security risks, improves operational efficiency, and reduces the workload on the IT team."
"It's role-based access control, and you can manage it. It's perfect for our customer's governance control."
"One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration."
"One Identity Manager stands out because it offers a wide range of features without requiring complex installation or ongoing maintenance."
"I like the customer-facing portal because it is simple to use for end users."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing. Now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved. It's all in the same system."
"The tool is like a big Lego in which you can use the parts that make sense for your organization."
 

Cons

"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."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."
"The newest web front end should enhance user experience for individuals who infrequently use the interface, as it currently isn't very intuitive."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The user experience is good, but it can be improved. There are a lot of features in the administration part, and they need better documentation. For example, they need to explain the main reason for a feature, and what the tables are in the database. It needs better documentation about all the features that are in the solution."
"It’s not something you get from the beginning. It’s not like Windows. It is more complicated. You need to know a few things from the back end, however, as you learn it, it becomes easy."
"I am waiting to see the new API for the web."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"The pricing is okay."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"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."
