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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is a great tool for identity governance that is easy to customize per requirement in any organization."
"One Identity Manager is a great tool for identity governance that is easy to customize per requirement in any organization."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"I have a very positive opinion of One Identity Manager; in all honesty, it's the best application that I've used."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company by minimizing manual effort, providing time savings, efficiency, and data integrity."
"One Identity Manager has improved our organization significantly; for instance, the automation of the provisioning workflow is very useful."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted our organization by adding more visibility on what we have, what we need, and what compliance features or compliance requirements we need to fulfill while allowing us to provide audit records on time and in a very useful way."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"Job servers can become a single point of failure."
"The initial setup was complex."
"One Identity Manager is a stable solution, although like any vendor bugs occur. It is frustrating there's no bug tracker available of known issues."
"The user interface can be a bit clunky. It could be more modern."
"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
"The initial setup was complex. It is an extremely complicated thing to replace an entire self-built solution."
"I also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
 

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."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
