Featured Reviews

Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Consultant at Wipro Limited
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
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 most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The solution is flexible."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"One Identity Manager helps achieve an identity-centric Zero Trust model."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"Using One Identity Manager has boosted our security in our organization."
"Quest One IDM allows for large customization."
"Nobody has to put people in AD groups by hand anymore. It goes automatically and that's very good. It's also very flexible. It's quite easy to customize and we have customized it a lot."
"All our lifecycle processes have been improved; some processes used to last around five days, now they are about one day or a couple of hours, which is very good for the user experience of our workers."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in One Identity Manager, it's the only product where the workflow and the catalog can be configured on roles or by business people. You don't need to know the technology at all to configure that, so this is the product's biggest advantage as well as its strongest feature. One Identity Manager is also business-oriented and IAM administrator-oriented."
"If others want to maintain the life cycle and make the process easy, One Identity Manager is the product they should go for."
 

Cons

"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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."
"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."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"Visually, I would like it to be more user-friendly."
"A room for improvement in One Identity Manager is its analytics. Though it's getting better from version to version, the analytics feature still needs improvement. I would appreciate more analytical features in the next release of One Identity Manager, so I can do a better analysis. Another vendor, for example, has a self-certification system where you can send people, then create a type of profile or screen for each person, and the person can see his entitlement and the risks behind that entitlement, so then the person makes a decision on whether he wants to keep or let go of it, and that's an out-of-the-box feature that would be good to see in One Identity Manager. Another feature I'd like to see in One Identity Manager that would be very interesting is integration with SIEM or any log collection product for both access and usage. For example, I'd be able to see that I have access to a particular application and also get information on how many times I've accessed it in the last year, last few months, etc. It's a feature that would be great to have in One Identity Manager."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
"To improve Identity Manager by One Identity, the web portal could get some enhancement to make it easier to use, more user-friendly, and intuitive, and the performance could also be improved, especially on the large SQL datasets."
"One area that could be improved is the speed of performance - it's often a bit slower because of the size of its database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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 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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"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."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"The licensing cost is per user."
