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

"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."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"One of the best features in One Identity Manager that I really appreciate is its high customizability."
"Strong return on investment has been seen mainly through reduced manual identity management work and faster onboarding and offboarding processes."
"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
"For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature."
"We chose this product for being able to accommodate our requirements. It's very flexible, and it's open to being developed to our requirements."
"One Identity Manager was the right decision in comparison to other market products."
"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."
"For example, with our financial system, reviews used to take two-and-a-half months to complete and now we have 90 percent compliance within two days."
 

Cons

"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 pricing and presence could be improved."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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 was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
"The migration from one version to another requires a huge amount of effort. The user interface could be modernized. The old one is outdated and will be completely deprecated next year."
"Integration and implementation complexity would be one area for improvement in One Identity Manager."
"One Identity Manager needs to come up with many more out-of-the-box connectors, similar to Workday and ServiceNow."
"One Identity could add more connectors for various services we integrate. We need to build and configure custom connectors for our clients with complicated environments and multiple data streams."
"I would like to see more access management features incorporated into Identity Manager. Modern access management should have some built-in authorization features. Although these are present in the OneLogin platform, the cloud environment is not an option for every customer."
"It’s not something you get from the beginning. It’s not like Windows. It is more complicated. You need to know a few things from the back end, however, as you learn it, it becomes easy."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"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."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
