Centralized secret management has improved multi-cloud security and automated key rotation
I sometimes feel that there are documentation gaps in Akeyless Secrets Management. The documentation could be more detailed for advanced integrations and troubleshooting. Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced. It is completely closed-source. If something goes wrong or someone hacks Akeyless Secrets Management, there is a huge drawback. These are concerns my organization and many other organizations are facing. The UI/UX could be better on the homepage and many other pages. Pricing transparency should also be improved. The pricing should include discounted pricing for regular customers or regular enterprise customers.

Self-service password reset has transformed support and now frees IT to focus on strategic work
While One Identity Password Manager is a strong solution, there are definitely a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools. Improving the UI would enhance user adoption and the overall experience. The second area is performance and stability. In some cases, performance can be slow, and there have been instances where updates occasionally cause stability issues. A more reliable upgrade process would definitely improve confidence in the product. The third area is integration complexity. Although it integrates well with systems such as Active Directory, integrating with other platforms can sometimes be complex. Having more out-of-the-box connectors or simpler integration options would be beneficial. Overall, One Identity Password Manager is a reliable enterprise solution, but improving usability, performance, and integration flexibility would make it even more competitive in today's market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Akeyless Secrets Management stands out because it combines SaaS simplicity with a Zero-Knowledge cryptographic design, reducing operational overhead without fully sacrificing control."
"I would recommend others to use Akeyless Secrets Management; it is a brilliant security platform, very easy to use, and does exactly what it says it should."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"One Identity Password Manager has been a reliable and effective solution for reducing help desk workload and improving user productivity, and the self-service features, security, and ease of use have provided good value for the organization."
"It allows end-users to reset their password by generating a one-time password (OTP) that they receive on their mobile; they're not dependent on the help desk and can do self-service from anywhere in the world, so if they're traveling, they can still reset or change the password and are not locked out of their account at any given time."
 

Cons

"Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced."
"If One Identity Password Manager was providing good support I would not have as many complaints as I am. We are a reseller and we have our own technical team, they try to do the level one support, but customers are starting to complain, which means that you don't have the right support."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell and One Identity is under Quest, which resulted in poor support because it created disconnections between my company and One Identity."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"One thing we noticed is that the user interface and overall experience could be more modern and intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."

"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
