Comprehensive documentation streamlines implementation with opportunity to improve user experience

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 Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The most important thing is that we don't have bad users in our systems anymore."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
"One Identity has the biggest out-of-the-box functionality set. I've worked with other platforms like SAP that have a lot of features, but One Identity Manager is on top."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable."
"Since we are using One Identity Manager, we have seen a significant positive impact by improving our security through ensuring users only receive the access they need and reducing manual work, making identity management more efficient and organized."
"It is very comprehensive. There are a lot of features in the product. The strong points are that you can model your organization in One Identity Manager and create roles."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is the customization that can be done, as every out-of-the-box process can be changed or I can create any new processes, which is the most useful functionality in my area."
"The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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 initial setup is a bit complex."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"The migration from one version to another requires a huge amount of effort. The user interface could be modernized. The old one is outdated and will be completely deprecated next year."
"The solution can be improved from a front-end point of view. It slows the portal down."
"One Identity Manager can be made more user-friendly for end users."
"More integration with SAP and with the internet of things would be good. We also have system devices that we could manage as identities, so that would be a feature to add."
"Support often lacks experienced technical personnel, resulting in long wait times and unhelpful solutions."
"The customization process should be simplified."
"We fell into that trap of over-customization which made upgrading the product difficult."
"We have some performance problems, so pushing to scale is a challenge."
 

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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
