Comprehensive documentation streamlines implementation with opportunity to improve user experience

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

"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in One Identity Manager, it's the only product where the workflow and the catalog can be configured on roles or by business people. You don't need to know the technology at all to configure that, so this is the product's biggest advantage as well as its strongest feature. One Identity Manager is also business-oriented and IAM administrator-oriented."
"It provides a unified view of logically connected solutions."
"Nobody has to put people in AD groups by hand anymore. It goes automatically and that's very good. It's also very flexible. It's quite easy to customize and we have customized it a lot."
"One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration."
"The solution does lots of things that we did manually before."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails."
 

Cons

"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"One Identity Manager is a complex tool with multiple components and a convoluted backend."
"The UI may need some improvement, but it's still great. GraphQL Cloud isn't quite visible yet to the end users, and they said there are some issues there because we have lots of users on board, so it takes time to reflect when the approval is going through and who they should contact to get it approved. The smoothness in that UI performance could be better."
"There are too many different user interfaces. For example, one is the designer and another is the manager. There's also a web interface and an object browser. It would be helpful to consolidate all of those into a single administrator portal."
"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."
"It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization."
"I have not personally contacted customer service, but I have heard from colleagues who did, and they were not happy about the support."
"The technical support is non-existent. It is not worth talking about."
"What is missing is a mobile user interface for the end-users so that they can do simple things on their mobile phones on the go. The time it takes to synchronize a large target system is often significant, often taking multiple hours."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"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."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"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."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
