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

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

"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The solution is flexible."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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 vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"From what I heard, everyone said that before One Identity Manager, they had many workflows and loopholes, and after starting to use it, those issues were addressed, creating a very positive experience for the customer."
"It is easy to use and handle."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"The main benefit of One Identity is process management. Processes are easier to handle. With the police, if a forensic editor or examiner goes to the field and gets all the data, he would need to go to another office with his flash drive and all of those devices."
"Allows the delegation of permissions related to identity management and also visual representation of the configuration as opposed to having to go through loads of scripts which was the case with our previous solution."
"The most valuable features are that it has a lot of capabilities, can integrate with a lot of systems, including automated onboarding like CyberArk, and allows you to integrate different entities."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by drastically reducing the time it takes to onboard new employees and helping us in security audits because it tracks exactly who has access to our data."
"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Manager could incorporate dynamic dashboarding to predict attack vectors and compromises."
"The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. The journey from implementing to joining all the systems was difficult."
"One Identity Manager can be improved in the areas of documentation and training, both of which are severely lacking."
"One Identity Manager could be improved by better prioritizing and processing bugs when tickets are submitted."
"The support team could be improved on. The first level of support essentially looks up knowledge base articles and often can't provide the answer needed."
"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."
"Using dynamic business roles can degrade the performance of One Identity Manager."
"Because their company is so focused on just their tool and related technology, they can't support you much. At times, it becomes frustrating. While you are paying a little less than your competitors, you expect some support, compliance, or expertise from the company. If a certain load balancer is unable to handle your tool, you should know what load balancer would be perfect or what configuration you should use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"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 is cost-efficient."
"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."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"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."
