Comprehensive documentation streamlines implementation with opportunity to improve user experience
I typically use Delinea Privileged Access Service within my IT infrastructure management for consulting, to secure privileged access, recording, session recording, password vault, etcetera The most common solution I find effective for protecting sensitive data is the most common features of…
Neha Chhangani - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Analyst at a startup based organization
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 stability and performance are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"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 provides secure access to environments."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"One Identity Manager is very efficient for a limited amount of users, and it is easy to use and handle."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its extensive functionality."
"Mapping roles to users is a seamless experience that offers a lot of leverage in terms of speed and compliance, making it a very useful feature."
"The product makes it easier for employees to be more productive."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"It's very easy to roll out."
"It has really reduced the workload of the IT team by almost 40 to 60 percent."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It's costlier than some other products and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"The policy and role management features are a bit hard to scale. The whole model for who can do what and how to set it up is not so well-governed for a larger organization. The demos are always shown for a 100 or a 1000 people, but when it is a large number, it is quite difficult to maintain."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"The technical support is non-existent. It is not worth talking about."
"Transitioning from legacy technologies, like for a seasoned web designer moving to Angular, can be challenging and requires dedicated learning."
"The support from One Identity is very poor. The response is often delayed and lacks actionable advice, such as suggesting updates without confidence in their effectiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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 price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"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."
