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

"Delinea has very good support."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"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 privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"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 most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"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."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its extensive functionality."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company through cost reduction and less effort in the individual departments for the technicians who used to manually create users in Active Directory, which now all happens automatically."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its modular design, allowing us to easily customize it with specific components, and its flexibility to handle any identity and access management scenario we encounter."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing. Now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved. It's all in the same system."
"I consider their support to be very standard, relying on an email-based system."
"The best feature is that it's customizable. For example, we can create any kind of product or custom service within an IT shop and customize it the way our customers need it. For the customers, it's the best. They are happy with it."
"Productivity has definitely increased with One Identity Manager, and approximately 20 to 24 hours of employee time are saved each month, which has increased the efficiency of employees and has overall impacted revenues positively."
"The best part of One Identity Manager is that it provides wholesome features. Most of the things required for identity management are given out of the box in One Identity Manager. You can just define your use cases, take this tool, and right away implement the solution."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"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."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"One Identity Manager can be improved because implementation and administration require specialized knowledge, and deployment efforts can be significant."
"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."
"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers. Web Designer is based on legacy Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET and HTML."
"In regards to the front end, the portal that is offered to our users needs improvement."
"Default connectors work fine, but certain connectors, such as SCIM to SAP Cloud Identity Services connector, have quite a few bugs."
"The reporting in One Identity Manager needs to be improved, as some of the data sets obtained from reporting are not very user-friendly."
"The documentation I found in their repository is neither interactive nor engaging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 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."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
