Featured Reviews

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

"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"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."
"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."
"The flexibility of the solution: We are able to use what is out-of-the-box, customize and prioritize it, then further develop it to meet our needs."
"The best features in One Identity Manager include the new Angular portal, which is the best improvement they made by removing the old portal; this feature gives you access to customize and create endpoints, APIs, and now it makes sense because you can expose and create endpoints from your tables and other target systems can use them and add or remove from your database and trigger processes with APIs."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"The most valuable feature for me is the built-in security, which is the best that I have seen."
"One Identity Manager is flexible and offers numerous connectors that enable us to serve as the core component of the system, as well as to construct our own connectors using the API."
"One Identity Manager has improved our organization significantly; for instance, the automation of the provisioning workflow is very useful."
"From my personal experience, it is very easy to manage from one single console as I am managing all my PAM solutions, IAM solutions, team solutions, and the active directory through One Identity Manager, making it easy for us to manage all user level access and governance in a single place."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The integration with sync 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."
"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 philosophy behind One Identity Manager has always been that there's not one way of working and that you can set it up according to your own identity and access management philosophy, but what would make it better is by shortening the setup time and the learning curve time. If the team could create some best practices with a wizard to set the solution up within companies, that would be a killer feature and would help make identity access management more approachable. That would also help companies that don't have the resources or a dedicated team to set up One Identity Manager. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the addition of just released application governance parts. That would sound promising. It would also be interesting if the team sets up best practice startup wizards, so you could set up One Identity Manager according to selectable best practice wizards instead of setting it up completely by yourself."
"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."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"The integration process with SAP has been the worst. It has been really difficult because our SAP is really customized."
"Upgrading to a new version is consistently challenging and time-consuming."
"AI, intuitiveness, and automations could be improved."
"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 One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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 product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"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."
"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 was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
