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.

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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"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."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The policy and role management features are very powerful and useful for our customers."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is the customization that can be done, as every out-of-the-box process can be changed or I can create any new processes, which is the most useful functionality in my area."
"One Identity Manager is working well for our organization, and I do not believe there is a need for improvement because it is a really perfect solution."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"The tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"The solution is very stable and we rate it a twelve out of ten."
"Even without any customization, if you install it, configure it, it's ready... It's very powerful. Without any customization, it starts working."
"If a client sees everything about the technology and about the solution, they can make a decision to implement One Identity Manager because it is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We take screenshots with the time stamp and give them to the auditors. That's cumbersome to do, even if we're only audited once or twice yearly. I take a screenshot and then show them the time to prove that the configuration is consistent. We have built-in processes to take regular screenshots and store them in a secure place for the auditors. It would be helpful if One Identity store the configuration details as a snapshot. It would also help with any rollbacks or change reviews that the organization might want to do."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
"There are several smaller parts of the tool that have room for improvement."
"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."
"One Identity Manager can be improved as the biggest pain point is the complexity; customization and troubleshooting can get quite technical, so it takes experienced admins to manage efficiently."
"It would be nice to have more functionality in terms of connecting SAP systems, provisioning user accounts through SAP systems, and provisioning additional attributes."
"The initial setup was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
"There are too many configuration interfaces. They could simplify the design to not require VB/PS coding to draw the workflows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
