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…

User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

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."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The solution is flexible."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
 

Cons

"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"The pricing and presence 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."
"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."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"The product comes at a very good price and it's quite competitive, although you need to buy add-ons for certain things."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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 sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"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."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
