Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.

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."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Safeguard is the user-friendly interface."
"In terms of the user experience, it is a pretty useful product. It works in a good way."
"The monitoring system is very good."
"All the features are promising, but we love the reporting feature because we can get each and every report. That's a major compliance requirement. Its reporting is really amazing, and it has made life a lot easier."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"It is easy to manage. There is a very logical, clear user interface. Also, the integration of scripts is thoughtfully implemented. Overall, it's a nice product to manage."
"I like the discovery functionality and the change password feature through the check-in. I also like the bulk import with the help of templates that come with it out of the box. With the help of these few features, my tasks are made easier."
"It's one of the best products we've seen. When you start looking at the functionality and use cases and usability of the product, it's straightforward. They designed this product with the end-user in mind, and they also had the sysadmin who is supporting the product in mind. They really did a nice job. Overall, it's a nice product to work with."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"Something for One Identity to look at is having integration guidelines for how to logically group accounts."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"One Identity's support is not appropriately structured, and it has a lot of room to improve."
"Our experience with technical support has been disappointing. We require more prompt and faster response times. We require answers to our questions right away but we haven't received that level of support."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"The automated change of the passwords, which is now integrated, could be improved to be more flexible regarding different systems."
"I would like to see support for RDP over HTTPS so this product can be used in conjunction with the Microsoft terminal."
"We would like to have the option of importing assets by using the CSV file. It was available in the earlier versions, but it is not available now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"One Identity Safeguard is expensive and the cost goes up as we scale."
"The license is very expensive for us, partly due to inflation and partly because of the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Iranian Rial. We purchased a perpetual license that we've been using up until now, but I believe that we are not going to update it in the future. Instead, we plan to find another third-party to support us with the license, in the sense that we would have access to their license as a shared agreement."
"As compared to other products, it is reasonable, but the training sessions are too expensive."
"It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk. As a customer, I would like the pricing to be lower, but it has a good price point."
"Setup cost, pricing and licensing are all very expensive."
"The full license is expensive but if you plan to use it in a big organization then it is the best option because it is more flexible."
"We bought their other products, so it was not that expensive. It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
