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

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The solution is flexible."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The SAP integration is One Identity Manager's most valuable feature."
"Even without any customization, if you install it, configure it, it's ready... It's very powerful. Without any customization, it starts working."
"One Identity Manager has had a strong positive impact on our organization, mainly by improving security, compliance, and operational efficiency."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its modular design, allowing us to easily customize it with specific components, and its flexibility to handle any identity and access management scenario we encounter."
"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized. It is like a framework. You can customize it very far from its core functionality, and it will still work."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by enhancing operational efficiency."
"In terms of the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager, it's not like one feature is useful without the other features. It's not a tool, but it's more an overall integrated solution that is helpful and not specifically one solution on its own. The best points of One Identity Manager would be its process orchestration and synchronization manager."
"Among the most valuable features of One Identity Manager are administration from Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, as well as administration from Exchange. These features enable us to have fully automated processes to create new accounts and new mailboxes. The most valuable option is the ability to design an automated route to give our customers permissions."
 

Cons

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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 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."
"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."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"There are occasional issues with the UI or errors when servers are not up and running, often requiring a restart from cache memory and other related areas."
"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."
"I am waiting to see the new API for the web."
"I believe report customization and dashboard usability could be improved in One Identity Manager."
"One Identity Manager could incorporate dynamic dashboarding to predict attack vectors and compromises."
"I have not personally contacted customer service, but I have heard from colleagues who did, and they were not happy about the support."
"One Identity Manager has room for improvement in areas such as being more low-code, since it currently requires some coding knowledge."
"Transitioning from legacy technologies, like for a seasoned web designer moving to Angular, can be challenging and requires dedicated learning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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 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."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium 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."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"Its price is okay."
