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 vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The reporting is excellent."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"One Identity Manager impacts my organization positively by cutting manual administration work and improving compliance while also reducing security risk and enabling better governance, thus improving efficiency and security."
"The solution is flexible because you can realize the customer needs. Therefore, it is easy to upgrade specialized things. It provides the flexibly, so you can implement customers' use cases."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"The best features of One Identity Manager are the synchronization project, the mapping, onboarding using CSV, and the designer tool which allows us to write our own custom workflows."
"It's a huge toolkit, and you can do a lot of stuff with it. You can extend nearly everything, so if you want to build something that may not have been though of by the vendor. Compared with other distributors who design their products to certain specification, you can put in your own processes, because not all companies function the same. You can write what you want, and the process should be like that."
"Quest One IDM allows for large customization."
"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."
"For most customers, their access management system becomes smoother using One Identity Manager."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"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 pricing and presence could be improved."
"One Identity Manager's support model has room for improvement, especially when compared to competitors like Omada and SailPoint, which offer a more extensive global presence and support network."
"One Identity Manager is a powerful platform, but the UI could be more intuitive, and some advanced configurations and customizations have a fairly steep learning curve."
"One Identity Manager has room for improvement in areas such as being more low-code, since it currently requires some coding knowledge."
"Make logging and debugging easier to find, I never quite know which log to turn on for which use case (just for my tools, for the job service user, etc)."
"One Identity Manager needs to come up with many more out-of-the-box connectors, similar to Workday and ServiceNow."
"One Identity Manager can be improved in the areas of documentation and training, both of which are severely lacking."
"There is room for improvement to their password self-service tool. We're actually leaving that tool right now because it's just been horrible."
"End-user UI customization is difficult and requires some knowledge of proprietary Angular technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
