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."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."
"The most valuable features include the automated attestations or recertification... The time that people have to focus on their real jobs and not spend it doing recertifications is huge."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use. There is no need to follow extensive documentation; you just need to go through the process while raising a request."
"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."
"It's a huge toolkit, and you can do a lot of stuff with it. You can extend nearly everything, so if you want to build something that may not have been though of by the vendor. Compared with other distributors who design their products to certain specification, you can put in your own processes, because not all companies function the same. You can write what you want, and the process should be like that."
"One Identity Manager connects SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. The connector from One Identity for SAP is the most powerful one in the market. This connector can touch all the levels of the objects in SAP. It can not only be connected to SAP ERP but also to SAP HANA, GRC, etc. One of the strengths of One Identity Manager is the SAP connector. You can touch a lot of the SAP environment and also have deep granularity."
"At the time of the onboarding, this is solution that we have interfacing with HR. On the same day an employee is hired, an account is created and available for the manager when the end user arrives. The opposite is true. The moment employment is terminated, the same day everything is disabled, then later deleted."
"I consider their support to be very standard, relying on an email-based system."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"Make the logging and debugging easier to find, because I'm always confused, "Where do I have to go to turn this log on if I want to see it?""
"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."
"They should publish more development documents to help users of One Identity Manager, as there are limited resources available."
"The policy and role management features are a bit hard to scale. The whole model for who can do what and how to set it up is not so well-governed for a larger organization. The demos are always shown for a 100 or a 1000 people, but when it is a large number, it is quite difficult to maintain."
"The initial setup was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
"What is missing is a mobile user interface for the end-users so that they can do simple things on their mobile phones on the go. The time it takes to synchronize a large target system is often significant, often taking multiple hours."
"The solution should come up with a lighter version so people can buy different versions."
"One Identity should open the market with accessible training material and content so that more developers can be available. They have to improve their marketing strategy, partners, and vendors. One Identity should be attracting engineers to learn their product and get certified. They should have strong forums. They could have a certification program where any engineer can get certified. However, their overall approach is complex, which I do not prefer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"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."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
