Featured Reviews

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.

"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"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 stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"One Identity Manager stands out because it offers a wide range of features without requiring complex installation or ongoing maintenance."
"It has made us much more effective and efficient in providing access to users and in managing certain processes."
"If others want to maintain the life cycle and make the process easy, One Identity Manager is the product they should go for."
"One Identity Manager impacts my organization positively."
"For most customers, their access management system becomes smoother using One Identity Manager."
"Workflow management is an important feature. With other identity management products, there was no workflow management so we had to build it ourselves."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"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."
"The integration with sync 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."
"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."
"How One Identity Manager deals with disconnected systems needs improvement."
"I would like to see a lot more integration with our platforms, more on the connector side."
"They should offer more best practices and documentation for every functionality."
"Stability has been a challenge. With version 8, especially post go-live, we had a lot of problems."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
"The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."
"Reporting customization and troubleshooting complex workflows can sometimes be time-consuming, so better visibility and simpler administration tools would be helpful."
"I would like it to have an easier integration with phones."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"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 model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"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."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
