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

"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The solution is flexible."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted the organization by reducing account creation and access approval times from days or weeks to minutes or hours through automated workflows."
"It is highly customizable, a feature that influenced our company's decision. We can easily customize it."
"This is almost a complete solution for us."
"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 tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow."
"I have seen a great return on investment with One Identity Manager, especially in terms of time-saving and reduced manual efforts, saving 70 to 80% of time compared to previous methods and allowing for almost 90% faster access removal or granting, making it a great solution for my environment."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time required for audit preparation and completion, improving compliance by ensuring all access is properly approved and tracked, increasing security, and creating a compliance-ready environment with improved efficiency, with the time for audit completion reduced by almost seventy to eighty percent."
 

Cons

"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is slow. It has a bit of a bad reputation within the company because it is a slow product. That is the biggest drawback in terms of user experience."
"Perhaps support could be improved. The knowledge base articles and wiki resources we currently use may not be applicable in every situation, as they often depend on the specific inputs or problems presented by users."
"The reporting component in One Identity Manager might be more admin-friendly."
"One Identity Manager is a complex tool with multiple components and a convoluted backend."
"High pricing remains a notable drawback, driving potential clients towards alternate IAM solutions."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"My impression of the user experience and intuitiveness is that the learning curve is quite slow because there are many functions and things, and it becomes really complex at some point because there are many different modules."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"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 licensing cost is per user."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"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."
"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."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
