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.

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

"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 has very good support."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
"Great product, which I would recommend."
"One Identity Manager automates user provisioning and de-provisioning, enables a faster employee onboarding process, reduces manual work for IT teams, and provides better visibility of who has access and what kind of access each user has."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."
"The tool is one of the best tools, out-of-the-box."
"One Identity Manager is one of the best identity management software solutions that helps us to govern and secure our organization data and users."
"The solution offers good integration with other environments such as SAP and Active Directory, et cetera."
"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important."
 

Cons

"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"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."
"Support often lacks experienced technical personnel, resulting in long wait times and unhelpful solutions."
"But you have to have a lot of knowledge of One Identity Manager before you can start implementing it, and knowledge of it is a bit of a problem."
"We are trying to get rid stability issues from the legacy version. We are now implementing version 8.2, which is so much better than version 6."
"The use of the administrative tools is cumbersome because too many are required for configurations."
"The integration process with SAP has been the worst. It has been really difficult because our SAP is really customized."
"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."
"There is a need to improve the use case documentation and coding templates."
 

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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"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."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"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."
