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

"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"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 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."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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."
"All our lifecycle processes have been improved; some processes used to last around five days, now they are about one day or a couple of hours, which is very good for the user experience of our workers."
"The solution is flexible because you can realize the customer needs. Therefore, it is easy to upgrade specialized things. It provides the flexibly, so you can implement customers' use cases."
"In terms of the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager, it's not like one feature is useful without the other features. It's not a tool, but it's more an overall integrated solution that is helpful and not specifically one solution on its own. The best points of One Identity Manager would be its process orchestration and synchronization manager."
"I like how One Identity Manager is designed. We can control granular-level permissions. Compared to SailPoint and CyberArk, we can go granular in the access levels. We can control it at the table, column, and database levels. That's the power of One Identity."
"The company policies feature is really good because in workflows you can check whether the policies are all working."
"My favorite feature is the ease of customization. You can change, optimize, and update it at your convenience. I haven't seen that in many other products available."
"The tool is like a big Lego in which you can use the parts that make sense for your organization."
"It's very flexible. You can customize it to the fullest extent. You can use it for almost every situation for every customer."
 

Cons

"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"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."
"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 pricing and presence could be improved."
"There are a few aspects of One Identity Manager's user experience that could be improved."
"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers."
"I would like it to have an easier integration with phones."
"We would like the product to integrate with ServiceNow, since One Identity Manager and ServiceNow are two of our better tools."
"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."
"It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers. Web Designer is based on legacy Microsoft technologies like ASP.NET and HTML."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"Its price is okay."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
