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.
Mitch MO - PeerSpot reviewer
Adapts workflows with industry-specific flexibility for big companies
We find flexibility to be one of the most valuable features. The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility. Additionally, it is considered a good solution for large companies due to its scalability and ability to cater to the needs of many customers. It has also enhanced security and provided significant flexibility for our specifications module.

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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"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, 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 reporting is excellent."
"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."

"We like the integration with other systems."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"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."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"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."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
