Featured Reviews

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

"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea has very good support."
"Mapping roles to users is a seamless experience that offers a lot of leverage in terms of speed and compliance, making it a very useful feature."
"One of the valuable features is that it is relatively organized. I definitely appreciate that aspect. It is also relatively simple to use with a very easy flow to the GUI. The user interface is really top-notch."
"Provisioning users and permissions has been automated."
"At the time of the onboarding, this is solution that we have interfacing with HR. On the same day an employee is hired, an account is created and available for the manager when the end user arrives. The opposite is true. The moment employment is terminated, the same day everything is disabled, then later deleted."
"The main benefits I've seen from using One Identity Manager are that it's very easy to use, and compared to other tools such as SailPoint and Okta, which are very difficult to learn and manage identities with, One Identity Manager has a very good UI and is easy to learn and understand if we have knowledge about .NET and SQL, or the OOPS concept, making it easy to grasp the tool."
"It is very comprehensive. There are a lot of features in the product. The strong points are that you can model your organization in One Identity Manager and create roles."
"One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality."
"After implementing One Identity Manager, we achieved clear, measurable improvements in identity and access management, with user onboarding reduced from two to three days to a few hours, faster access provisioning for new employees, immediate off-boarding security, and 100% instant de-provisioning of access for leavers, while eliminating the risk of orphan or active unused accounts."
 

Cons

"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should come up with a lighter version so people can buy different versions."
"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."
"The initial setup and planning could be simplified, as they can be complex."
"A tool called Analyzer is included to assist with birthright generation. The tool isn't very user-friendly."
"The current version of the IT shop or the web portal is a little cumbersome, especially for non-technical users, and I think improving that and making it more user-friendly would be a huge leap for our end users."
"One Identity Manager needs to come up with many more out-of-the-box connectors, similar to Workday and ServiceNow."
"One Identity Manager is a complex tool with multiple components and a convoluted backend."
"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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 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 price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Its price is okay."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"The pricing is okay."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
