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.

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, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support."
"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 best features in One Identity Manager include the new Angular portal, which is the best improvement they made by removing the old portal; this feature gives you access to customize and create endpoints, APIs, and now it makes sense because you can expose and create endpoints from your tables and other target systems can use them and add or remove from your database and trigger processes with APIs."
"It has many features which can be combined and configured in a great way, then put together in projects and ways that developers didn't think were possible, which has been great."
"The solution is a typical, conventional IGA but the tool itself offers many options for customization."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's account creation feature stands out as its most valuable functionality."
"It saves time and improves productivity because otherwise, people would be calling the helpdesk."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."
 

Cons

"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"There are a few areas for improvement, as no product is ever completely comprehensive. While the product features are rich, the user interface could be modernized, and initial configuration may be complex for organizations new to identity governance."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"There are several smaller parts of the tool that have room for improvement."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
"The documentation I found in their repository is neither interactive nor engaging."
"There are too many configuration interfaces. They could simplify the design to not require VB/PS coding to draw the workflows."
"One Identity Manager can be improved as the biggest pain point is the complexity; customization and troubleshooting can get quite technical, so it takes experienced admins to manage efficiently."
"Stability has been a challenge. With version 8, especially post go-live, we had a lot of problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"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."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
