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

"I recommend it to other organizations."
"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."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"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."
"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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"I like the solution since it is very flexible, and I can basically do everything that I like and need with it."
"It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users."
"One Identity enables us to provide users with permissions for only the roles that they need. We can use segmentation to ensure that users don't have roles that can cause trouble in the business."
"One of the valuable features is that it is relatively organized. I definitely appreciate that aspect. It is also relatively simple to use with a very easy flow to the GUI. The user interface is really top-notch."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use."
"I like One Identity's reporting features and the single sign-in option. Users can skip multiple logins. It also gives us a centralized system that lets us know about a user's access. This is an automated process. If a user leaves the company, One Identity will ensure their application access will be removed after a certain date. When the user joins a company, it ensures all privileges are created and active by the start date."
"For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature."
"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"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 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."
"We take screenshots with the time stamp and give them to the auditors. That's cumbersome to do, even if we're only audited once or twice yearly. I take a screenshot and then show them the time to prove that the configuration is consistent. We have built-in processes to take regular screenshots and store them in a secure place for the auditors. It would be helpful if One Identity store the configuration details as a snapshot. It would also help with any rollbacks or change reviews that the organization might want to do."
"The user interface can be confusing for end users, especially during attestations, as completed tasks simply disappear without indicating that there are no pending requests."
"We would like the product to integrate with ServiceNow, since One Identity Manager and ServiceNow are two of our better tools."
"The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification."
"The policy and role management features are a bit hard to scale. The whole model for who can do what and how to set it up is not so well-governed for a larger organization. The demos are always shown for a 100 or a 1000 people, but when it is a large number, it is quite difficult to maintain."
"One Identity Manager could be improved by better prioritizing and processing bugs when tickets are submitted."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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 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."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
