Comprehensive documentation streamlines implementation with opportunity to improve user experience

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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The reporting is excellent."
"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 is highly recommended, as it is a really strong solution to govern identity for any organization with complex access requirements and offers good automation, compliance support, and governance control that, with proper planning, delivers strong value as a capable and mature IAM solution."
"This product is very effective and has more capabilities than any other."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is very customizable to meet customer requirements."
"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management. It is very helpful for managing the Joiner/Mover/Leaver process. We also use it for compliance on all the audits which are around."
"One Identity Manager has made the audit process smoother for my team and organization, which is the most important outcome."
"I would definitely recommend One Identity Manager."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"There is no out-of-the-box or very easy way to configure processes to manage non-human accounts. The functionalities that we have built are totally customized on top of what One Identity provided out of the box. It would have been nice to see some out-of-the-box or plug-and-play features available for it."
"Their support is inadequate."
"The newest web front end should enhance user experience for individuals who infrequently use the interface, as it currently isn't very intuitive."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
"One Identity Manager's user interface can be confusing due to its multiple UIs."
"Customer support for One Identity Manager is generally good, especially for identity governance and integration-related issues. However, complex cases or advanced customizations can sometimes take longer to resolve."
"The product's GUI could be more user-friendly."
"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers."
 

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 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 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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"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."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
