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 reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"One Identity Manager is a strong enterprise-grade identity governance solution that delivers real value once it is implemented correctly."
"One Identity Manager is more scalable and customizable than other products I have worked on, and user customization isn't as complicated. Defender, One Identity's PAM solution, is useful for rotating passwords in the developer's evolving facilities."
"One Identity Manager was the right decision in comparison to other market products."
"I have seen a great return on investment with One Identity Manager, especially in terms of time-saving and reduced manual efforts, saving 70 to 80% of time compared to previous methods and allowing for almost 90% faster access removal or granting, making it a great solution for my environment."
"I would definitely recommend One Identity Manager."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use. There is no need to follow extensive documentation; you just need to go through the process while raising a request."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is it simplifies user-account provisioning and administration. One Identity offers a comprehensive range of solutions that cater to almost every aspect of the identity and access management domain."
"One Identity Manager is an IGA tool with everything available in the same tool; for example, Identity Lifecycle, attestation, certifications, and role-based access management are all available in one tool."
 

Cons

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The pricing and presence 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 also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
"One Identity Manager could be improved because the community is a bit small, and the documentation sometimes isn't clear or interactive."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"The support from One Identity is very poor. The response is often delayed and lacks actionable advice, such as suggesting updates without confidence in their effectiveness."
"It is a large solution where you need to learn how to work in a certain way for it to provide the best benefit."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"We have some performance problems, so pushing to scale is a challenge."
"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"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 model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"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."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"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."
