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…
Neha Chhangani - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Analyst at a startup based organization
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 vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The solution is flexible."
"Delinea has very good support."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"The solution has helped us increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning user interface systems, as our employees get everything that they need the day that they start."
"One Identity Manager has made the audit process smoother for my team and organization, which is the most important outcome."
"One of the best features of One Identity Manager is its high level of customization."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its extensive functionality."
"It saves us time and has increased employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users or systems."
"The connection with multiple systems is what makes it flexible. We can create the accounts flexibly, enabling access to other systems. In addition to Active Directory, it can extend to SAP, to Salesforce, to Office 365, etc."
"One Identity Manager helps achieve an identity-centric Zero Trust model."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"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."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"They could improve the support. Sometimes, you make a service request and don't get an answer. Then, sometimes, we don't get a response that we want, and it's frustrating."
"I would like to have more advanced features and reporting added to One Identity Manager."
"Upgrading to a new version is consistently challenging and time-consuming."
"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"I find that the user experience and intuitiveness of One Identity Manager are quite confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Its price is okay."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"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 has a reasonable price point."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
