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 solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"Delinea has very good support."
"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 Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"The reporting is excellent."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"The connectors should be improved."
"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."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
 

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."
"The price of Delinea Privileged Access Service is average compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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 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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for 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."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
