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.
Mitch MO - PeerSpot reviewer
Adapts workflows with industry-specific flexibility for big companies
We find flexibility to be one of the most valuable features. The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility. Additionally, it is considered a good solution for large companies due to its scalability and ability to cater to the needs of many customers. It has also enhanced security and provided significant flexibility for our specifications module.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend it to other organizations."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"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."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The solution is flexible."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
 

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."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would like for there to be a suitable solution to deploy a low-spec version for desktop password management to all our staff."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"The product must improve its support."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"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."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
 

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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The solution is not cheap."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
