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

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"The stability and performance are excellent."
"Delinea has very good support."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"Basically, how the entitlements are handled is very good; it's the complete lifecycle of entitlements, it offers a single source of truth, everything can be handled from one tier, and the interface is simple and very usable."
"Manager Certification helped to review user access and revoked unnecessary accesses to various applications."
"This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup always was straightforward with shorter implementation times and quick benefits."
 

Cons

"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The customer support process is slow at times because they do not have proper language support for my clients in Latin America speaking Spanish."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
