ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
Users praised Delinea Secret Server for security, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, though some noted its higher cost than competitors.
Sentiment score
6.9
One Identity Manager boosts productivity, reduces costs, and enhances security by automating user provisioning and access management.
Without it, we would need thousands of additional people.
If you do not see it as purely an Identity Management tool but as a possibility to automate processes in the company, it provides a huge amount of value.
One Identity Manager saved us approximately thirty to forty percent in terms of time, money, and resources compared to our pre-deployment setup.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
Delinea Secret Server customer service receives mixed reviews, praised for support quality but criticized for inconsistency and cost.
Sentiment score
6.6
One Identity Manager's customer service is inconsistent, with varying technical support responsiveness and the importance of partner involvement emphasized.
When I faced issues integrating custom applications with Delinea Secret Server, the support from their deployment partner was inadequate.
Technical support from Delinea is good.
If you have outages or critical production problems, you can count on the manufacturer to help resolve the situation.
They should focus on bringing in technically skilled individuals who understand the tools and technologies involved.
If I raised a request while they were active, I received responses within an hour.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Delinea Secret Server offers scalable solutions for large organizations, supporting efficient architectural flexibility and seamless growth in extensive environments.
Sentiment score
7.2
One Identity Manager excels in scalability but faces challenges with large datasets and customization for extensive setups.
We could handle about 1,00,000 records for different users.
I would rate its scalability as strong since we have not experienced any significant challenges.
This includes designing and implementing IAM solutions for legacy systems, cloud migrations, and multifactor authentications.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Delinea Secret Server is highly stable and reliable, despite rare minor issues, with suggestions to improve update durations.
Sentiment score
7.3
One Identity Manager is stable when correctly configured, but stability varies with infrastructure and proper maintenance is crucial.
Delinea Secret Server can be considered as a stable and reliable for most enterprise use cases, especially in vaulting and privileged access management.
The stability is less than ideal since it updates to our console can take around six to ten hours.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
Specifically affecting the test and development environments, not the production environment.
One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality.
 

Room For Improvement

Delinea Secret Server requires API improvements, better integration, UI enhancements, advanced management features, and more flexible deployment options.
One Identity Manager requires improved performance, user interface, integration, documentation, streamlined processes, and enhanced database management for better functionality.
Most of the time, the solution tends to fail, necessitating the need to pull data from backup servers.
Certain features like the Remote Access Service (RAS) Engine and syncing with directory services may still have bugs or limitations.
This lack of 24-hour support is problematic from a testing and development standpoint.
It is crucial for them to expand their support team to match their product's success.
In terms of providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, One Identity is not yet there.
 

Setup Cost

Delinea Secret Server offers flexible, competitive pricing with value, despite being costly compared to some alternatives like ManageEngine PAM360.
One Identity Manager offers competitive pricing with savings for large enterprises, but may be costly for smaller businesses.
The price of Delinea Secret Server is okay, however, the solution is considered expensive when compared to others.
On-premises might incur higher costs.
We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it.
On-premises, it is cheap.
 

Valuable Features

Delinea Secret Server offers easy installation, password management, seamless integration, user-friendly interface, audit logging, and robust privileged access management.
One Identity Manager offers flexibility, automation, and integration, enhancing efficiency while providing dynamic application provisioning and user-friendly interface.
Delinea Secret Server doesn't offer any exceptional features; most solutions have similar capabilities such as automatic password rotation, activity log monitoring, and activity log auditing.
It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails.
It continuously monitors user behavior in real-time, triggering automated responses, and manages secure access for both on-premises and cloud applications using protocols such as SAML.
Once you have some experience, it demonstrates best practices and guides you on the correct way to use the tool.

Avinash Gopu. - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective for password rotation policies triggered by audit requirements, it helps maintain compliance standards and seamless integration with third-party tools
The "App to App" feature has been most impactful. It allows secure communication between applications without requiring direct user access, which is crucial for several applications. Additionally, working in the finance department, we are heavily focused on enhancing audit reporting and compliance. So, the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) capabilities of Delinea Secret Server have also been crucial for us. We implemented a custom reporting system that can automatically send reports to auditors daily, weekly, or according to your organization's needs. We also upgraded the audit role within Secret Server, allowing auditors to access and analyze the reports directly. Additionally, Secret Server provides comprehensive logging capabilities. Auditors can see what data users access, their access levels, and their activities, including check-in and check-out times. Furthermore, Secret Server helped us manage privileged, elevated access, which we call "K2K." As the lead for this project, I could identify users with the highest access levels and implement specific policies to monitor their activity on servers.
Charles Essien - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes identity management more robust with the new portal, but needs faster processing and better support
For basic tasks, it's acceptable, but when there are complexities and building on those complexities, it becomes slow because One Identity Manager doesn't do parallel processing; it processes in series and in batches. That's a drawback because with a heavy database and many processes, it becomes slow, which isn't ideal for user experience. There are many areas in One Identity Manager that have room for improvement. I don't prefer that One Identity Manager uses series processing where everything is in a queue; it has to process in order, which means there are too many layers involved in processing a single piece of information. If they could simplify that and make processing faster, it would be perfect. The database queue process doesn't make sense, and it's annoying waiting for processes to finish before another starts. Also, when upgrading, they should be more considerate; with the transition from One Identity Manager 7.0 to 8.2, many functions were phased out, requiring extensive upgrading of numerous scripts. I find it pretty difficult to customize the solution because you really need to be an expert. If you have about one year of experience, you can't do much with One Identity Manager. You need many years of experience to customize solutions effectively.
