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."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Being able to access servers, web applications, network devices, etc. securely from anywhere, with MFA, with workflows that can be added for extra security, powerful auditing and reporting features, and easy Privileged Account Management, all backed by excellent support."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The tool is one of the best tools, out-of-the-box."
"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."
"One Identity Manager has had a strong positive impact on my organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and compliance."
"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."
"One Identity Manager provides everything in a single place, which is beneficial."
"One Identity Manager is a great tool for identity governance that is easy to customize per requirement in any organization."
"It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it."
"We have reduced about 60% of our help desk calls, especially for onboarding and simple tasks that do One Identity automation."
 

Cons

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The current version we have is stable but there are bugs, of course. There are many bugs."
"One Identity Manager has room for improvement in areas such as being more low-code, since it currently requires some coding knowledge."
"But you have to have a lot of knowledge of One Identity Manager before you can start implementing it, and knowledge of it is a bit of a problem."
"The documentation I found in their repository is neither interactive nor engaging."
"Another area for improvement in the tool is its ServiceNow connection as ServiceNow is a major ITSM system player, but the current out-of-the-box feature proposed by One Identity Manager can only make simple incident requests to the system."
"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person. They do have good technical people in support, but it is sometimes not so easy to get them."
"One Identity has a self-service portal but many customers need a helpdesk where they can go in and request. To make that happen we need to do a lot of customization. Maybe that could be improved..."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"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."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
