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."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The most valuable feature for me is the built-in security, which is the best that I have seen."
"For us, it has been a very nice product and we are very happy with it."
"In terms of what the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is, that would be hard to say because the tool is great overall. There's not really one feature you'd prefer over other features, but what's really great, in my opinion, is the fact that the provisioning is really stable and accurate, and it's a process my company trusts. This means that without a lot of maintenance, I can be pretty sure that as soon as my alternative source gives a new identity or gives new information about a particular identity, everything will be transformed and executed the right way. My company has tried other solutions and there's always a struggle with the provisioning system in terms of knowing what systems work, but with One Identity Manager, this issue doesn't happen. It's also a stable system which I like."
"One Identity Manager requires no maintenance; once deployed, it can be used for any required purpose and then closed."
"One of the best features in One Identity Manager that I really appreciate is its high customizability."
"Overall, the product works well and is very good tool, which functions well."
"For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature."
"After implementing One Identity Manager, we achieved clear, measurable improvements in identity and access management, with user onboarding reduced from two to three days to a few hours, faster access provisioning for new employees, immediate off-boarding security, and 100% instant de-provisioning of access for leavers, while eliminating the risk of orphan or active unused accounts."
 

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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"While One Identity Manager works well for our on-prem setup, initial configuration and customization can be complex and time-consuming."
"A room for improvement in One Identity Manager is its analytics."
"Using dynamic business roles can degrade the performance of One Identity Manager."
"There are some good things about the policy and role management features, but you can't really use them to their full potential."
"Some improvements are needed for Identity Manager by One Identity, such as the dashboards and the initial deployment and configurations, which can be complex when users are new."
"They should publish more development documents to help users of One Identity Manager, as there are limited resources available."
"More than one job server cannot be allocated per target/source system which can be a performance bottleneck."
"There is always a need for improvement based on the features, which is why I deducted one point from the overall rating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
