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…

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 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."
"Delinea has very good support."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"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."
"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."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The product makes it easier for employees to be more productive."
"Strong return on investment has been seen mainly through reduced manual identity management work and faster onboarding and offboarding processes."
"The One Identity birthright process has helped generate user accounts more accurately and quickly."
"The product helps minimize gaps in governance coverage."
"We are getting cost savings by automating system integrations."
"One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality."
"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."
"The biggest positive impact of One Identity Manager has been improved control and visibility over user access across the organization because it automates the entire identity lifecycle from onboarding to role changes and offboarding, while also strengthening compliance through regular access reviews and audit-ready reporting."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"The product is quite scalable, except for the database which is not highly available. This is where scalability could be improved."
"The user interface can be a bit clunky. It could be more modern."
"One of the things we would like is the ability to have more than one system role manager."
"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"One of the things we would like is the ability to have more than one system role manager. That would be nice. For example, when people are on vacation, sometimes it gets a little hard to administrate system roles."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
