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

"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets because it helps keep track of inventory."
"Delinea has very good support."
"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."
"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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"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."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"Our user lifecycle takes less time with SailPoint IdentityIQ, as previously it would take around one day to get all the users access, and now it is an automatic process with a good authentication authorization mechanism."
"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
 

Cons

"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 pricing and presence could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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 report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"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."
"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."
"This solution is difficult to configure."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"Complex configuration if you want to have AD forest architecture in place."
"The price is very high"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."

"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution is not cheap."
"They are expensive."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
