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

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The reporting is excellent."
"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 Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The solution is flexible."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"We have reduced about 60% of our help desk calls, especially for onboarding and simple tasks that do One Identity automation."
"One Identity Manager has improved our organization significantly; for instance, the automation of the provisioning workflow is very useful."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company by minimizing manual effort, providing time savings, efficiency, and data integrity."
"The back-end, its capabilities, and workflows are very good."
"For most customers, their access management system becomes smoother using One Identity Manager."
"The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk."
"Using dynamic business roles can degrade the performance of One Identity Manager."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"It can have a clearer navigation map of the user interface and user provisioning."
"Because their company is so focused on just their tool and related technology, they can't support you much. At times, it becomes frustrating. While you are paying a little less than your competitors, you expect some support, compliance, or expertise from the company. If a certain load balancer is unable to handle your tool, you should know what load balancer would be perfect or what configuration you should use."
"Perhaps support could be improved. The knowledge base articles and wiki resources we currently use may not be applicable in every situation, as they often depend on the specific inputs or problems presented by users."
"The relationship with the customers is extremely bad."
 

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 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 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 pricing is moderate."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"Its price is okay."
