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

"The reporting is excellent."
"There are benefits in the security realm. We use Delinea at an enterprise level. I imagine there are productivity gains, but moreover, it's the security. We don’t enable staff to see the passwords of boxes but it's all being tracked and logged now."
"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 stability and performance are excellent."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features are that it has a lot of capabilities, can integrate with a lot of systems, including automated onboarding like CyberArk, and allows you to integrate different entities."
"The flexibility of the solution: We are able to use what is out-of-the-box, customize and prioritize it, then further develop it to meet our needs."
"From what I heard, everyone said that before One Identity Manager, they had many workflows and loopholes, and after starting to use it, those issues were addressed, creating a very positive experience for the customer."
"This solution helped us to increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users or systems, and in some cases, it has gone down from days to hours or minutes."
"The best part of One Identity Manager is that it provides wholesome features. Most of the things required for identity management are given out of the box in One Identity Manager. You can just define your use cases, take this tool, and right away implement the solution."
"Since we started using One Identity Manager in my organization, we have seen operational efficiency gains, including faster onboarding and de-provisioning, help desk cost reduction, and improved compliance and audit efficiency."
"We have reduced about 60 percent of our help desk calls, especially for onboarding and simple tasks that do One Identity automation."
"It's very flexible."
 

Cons

"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"There is a small area inside the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"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?""
"Job servers can become a single point of failure."
"The user interface can be confusing for end users, especially during attestations, as completed tasks simply disappear without indicating that there are no pending requests."
"I have noticed a slow performance dynamic group integration with AWS Cloud that could be improved with One Identity Manager."
"The Metamodel is not developer-friendly, and the web designer customization could be simplified."
"The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company."
"How One Identity Manager deals with disconnected systems needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"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."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
