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

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"In general, One Identity Manager can handle everything you can expect, and we haven't found anything we couldn't do."
"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."
"The policy and role management features are very powerful and useful for our customers."
"The solution is flexible because you can realize the customer needs. Therefore, it is easy to upgrade specialized things. It provides the flexibly, so you can implement customers' use cases."
"One of the best features in One Identity Manager that I really appreciate is its high customizability."
"The back-end, its capabilities, and workflows are very good."
"One Identity Manager has really improved control over user access and reduced human errors, making identity processes more structured and consistent while enhancing security in our organization and reducing onboarding time by 60 to 70 percent in access-related tickets."
"We have seen a 40 to 60 percent reduction in provisioning time and significantly fewer manual errors due to automation and role-based access controls."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"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 because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's documentation is something they can improve, and I believe much of this is related to translation since it is a German company."
"One Identity Manager's support model has room for improvement, especially when compared to competitors like Omada and SailPoint, which offer a more extensive global presence and support network."
"It is a large solution where you need to learn how to work in a certain way for it to provide the best benefit."
"One Identity Manager needs better documentation and more examples, especially for beginners, as it has a steep learning curve."
"Using dynamic business roles can degrade the performance of One Identity Manager."
"The documentation is poor. For example, the synchronization editor has a lot of things happening, but there's just a description. If you want to do something specific with that like create custom views, they just say go to the extension and select the UUID. However, if we don't have a UUID for this view, it will not work. That isn't in the documentation."
"One Identity Manager could incorporate dynamic dashboarding to predict attack vectors and compromises."
"One Identity Manager can be improved because implementation and administration require specialized knowledge, and deployment efforts can be significant."
 

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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
