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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The reporting is excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"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."
"What I like the most is the flexibility or configurability. It is not like you are writing huge lines of code. It allows us to handle our very complex enterprise use cases, and we have many of those."
"One Identity Manager is highly recommended, as it is a really strong solution to govern identity for any organization with complex access requirements and offers good automation, compliance support, and governance control that, with proper planning, delivers strong value as a capable and mature IAM solution."
"One Identity Manager has had a strong positive impact on our organization, mainly by improving security, compliance, and operational efficiency."
"The IT shop is a great tool that allows a simple interface for users to see their access, be able to request additional access, and view the workflow approval process to understand where their request is and what any hold-ups may be."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by improving access governance significantly; onboarding is faster, offboarding is more reliable, and audit preparation takes less manual effort than before."
"Provisioning users and permissions has been automated."
"It saves time and improves productivity because otherwise, people would be calling the helpdesk."
"One Identity Manager has made the audit process smoother for my team and organization, which is the most important outcome."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price, as I think that the cost of the full user license is a little high."
"There is a need to improve the use case documentation and coding templates."
"The initial setup was complex. It is an extremely complicated thing to replace an entire self-built solution."
"My impression of the user experience and intuitiveness is that the learning curve is quite slow because there are many functions and things, and it becomes really complex at some point because there are many different modules."
"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person. They do have good technical people in support, but it is sometimes not so easy to get them."
"One area that One Identity Manager should improve is the web designer, as it is difficult to implement a new form from scratch."
"One Identity Manager's documentation is something they can improve, and I believe much of this is related to translation since it is a German company."
"In regards to the front end, the portal that is offered to our users needs improvement. There is room for improvement on that side, particularly in user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
"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."
"Its price is okay."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"The pricing is okay."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
