Featured Reviews

Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Consultant at Wipro Limited
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
Business Analyst at a startup based organization
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 has very good support."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution is flexible."
"The reporting is excellent."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"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."
"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."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."
"I think it's one of the best solutions on the market."
"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use."
"One Identity Manager stands out because it offers a wide range of features without requiring complex installation or ongoing maintenance."
"I rate One Identity nine out of 10 for stability. We haven't seen any downtime. It has worked smoothly since it went into production."
"It is very powerful and flexible. It works at a very high level, but it can also be tailored as per needs."
"We have been able to make our help desk self-sufficient by giving them role-based access, reduce service dependency by 40% to 50%, and save 60% to 70% of onboarding time because users are provisioned with the right access and are ready to go from day one."
 

Cons

"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 because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"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."
"Identity Manager by One Identity can improve by simplifying some of the processes, as the environment can be a bit complex when onboarding or creating identities, which requires more in-depth expertise."
"It would be nice to have more functionality in terms of connecting SAP systems, provisioning user accounts through SAP systems, and provisioning additional attributes."
"The support team could be improved on. The first level of support essentially looks up knowledge base articles and often can't provide the answer needed."
"One Identity Manager needs better documentation and more examples, especially for beginners, as it has a steep learning curve."
"The implementation cost is around four times the purchase cost, which significantly impacts the customer's budget."
"It can have a clearer navigation map of the user interface and user provisioning. The documentation lacks step-by-step details on common tasks like creating roles, running action reviews, and version control."
"I am waiting to see the new API for the web."
"The current version of the IT shop or the web portal is a little cumbersome, especially for non-technical users, and I think improving that and making it more user-friendly would be a huge leap for our end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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 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."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"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."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
