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

"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution is flexible."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"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 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 most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The best features in One Identity Manager include the new Angular portal, which is the best improvement they made by removing the old portal; this feature gives you access to customize and create endpoints, APIs, and now it makes sense because you can expose and create endpoints from your tables and other target systems can use them and add or remove from your database and trigger processes with APIs."
"One Identity Manager is one of the best identity management software solutions that helps us to govern and secure our organization data and users."
"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management."
"There has been a strong return on investment after implementing One Identity Manager, especially through automation, reduced operational efforts, and improved security."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"This solution is quite flexible. We have a lot of customization since we have our own business processes."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted our organization by improving identity governance and automating user lifecycle management, along with enhancing security and compliance by providing better visibility into user access and role-based permissions."
"The main benefits I've seen from using One Identity Manager are that it's very easy to use, and compared to other tools such as SailPoint and Okta, which are very difficult to learn and manage identities with, One Identity Manager has a very good UI and is easy to learn and understand if we have knowledge about .NET and SQL, or the OOPS concept, making it easy to grasp the tool."
 

Cons

"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The user interface can be a bit clunky. It could be more modern."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"The system role manager, or some of the roles that are inside Identity Manager, are limited to one user. It would be more flexible if these responsibility roles could be attached to many people."
"There are several smaller parts of the tool that have room for improvement."
"One Identity Manager can be improved in the areas of documentation and training, both of which are severely lacking."
"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."
"One Identity Manager would benefit from enhancements in flow customization and faster performance in large environments to make it more efficient."
"Right now, they run an on-prem solution. Our preferred solution for cloud is Azure. So, we have yet to determine how we want to take this forward, because at this time, we are only using Graph APIs to do some Azure-related actions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"I believe the pricing is fair."

"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
