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.

Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"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 Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"It is a scalable product."
"The product feature is quite nice and simple, especially in terms of the UI and implementation."
"Automated accounts provisioning during the on-boarding process."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"We are able to automate the entire process of joiners, movers, leavers and the provisioning and deprovisioning of identities."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
 

Cons

"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"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."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"This solution is difficult to configure."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"I wish the support from SailPoint was a little bit faster than we've experienced so far. It has taken, sometimes, a couple of weeks to get feedback from them."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"The license is expensive and the deployment is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"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."
"It is affordable licensing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
