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

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

"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 because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"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."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"I am satisfied with One Identity Manager for providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of privileged accounts and data."
"For us, it has been a very nice product and we are very happy with it."
"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management. It is very helpful for managing the Joiner/Mover/Leaver process. We also use it for compliance on all the audits which are around."
"The business role management feature is pretty good because we have a lot of dynamic roles, and you can configure it with the filters."
"One Identity Manager is a great tool for identity governance that is easy to customize per requirement in any organization."
"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."
"Overall, the product works well and is very good tool, which functions well."
"I have a very positive opinion of One Identity Manager; in all honesty, it's the best application that I've used."
 

Cons

"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"One Identity Manager has room for improvement in areas such as being more low-code, since it currently requires some coding knowledge."
"I would like to see the possibility of being supported during the migration to the Angular portal as an improvement in One Identity Manager."
"One Identity could add more connectors for various services we integrate. We need to build and configure custom connectors for our clients with complicated environments and multiple data streams."
"The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."
"They should offer more best practices and documentation for every functionality."
"The web interface has room for improvement. It could be more performant and the design of the web interface is relatively complicated. It could be simplified."
"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The pricing is moderate."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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."
"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 of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"Its price is okay."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
