Comprehensive documentation streamlines implementation with opportunity to improve user experience
I typically use Delinea Privileged Access Service within my IT infrastructure management for consulting, to secure privileged access, recording, session recording, password vault, etcetera The most common solution I find effective for protecting sensitive data is the most common features of…

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."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The reporting is excellent."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"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, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Great product, which I would recommend."
"An outstanding feature of One Identity Manager, compared to SailPoint, is the dashboard where they present everything. With the dashboard, the customer can see how the integrations have happened."
"One Identity is a complete solution that has everything we need."
"For most customers, their access management system becomes smoother using One Identity Manager."
"We no longer keep users who shouldn't exist."
"It has made us much more effective and efficient in providing access to users and in managing certain processes."
"The policy and role management features are very powerful and useful for our customers."
"The self-service functionality of One Identity Manager is arguably the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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."
"I would like One Identity Manager to offer an easier way for users to learn to use their new features."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"Support often lacks experienced technical personnel, resulting in long wait times and unhelpful solutions."
"The support for DevOps could be improved with quick delivery cycles and multiple delivery streams."
"There are some good things about the policy and role management features, but you can't really use them to their full potential."
"One Identity Manager could incorporate dynamic dashboarding to predict attack vectors and compromises."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"There is a need to improve the use case documentation and coding templates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"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."
"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 Manager is fairly priced."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"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."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
