Featured Reviews

Himanshu Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing security and efficiency through robust secret management
With the merging of Thycotic and Centrify into Delinea, it has combined strengths of both products into a single package. Thycotic was strong in certain areas and Centrify in others, and now Delinea integrates these features. I have experience with solutions like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, and Delinea. CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust are pushing onto cloud-based solutions.
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"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."
"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The support is very good."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
 

Cons

"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"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."
"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 integration with sync could be improved."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"The product must improve its support."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
 

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."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
