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.

Although I am a fan of Okta Platform overall, there are areas where it could improve security outcomes and reduce admin friction. My top improvement areas include the system log and analytics upgrade, which are great for point troubleshooting, but trending and root cause analysis across large tenants still require exporting to SIEM. Verbose queries and long-range retention costs can add up. Additionally, while certificate rotations are better than most, the process is still manual for busy portfolios, especially concerning multi-SP SAML certificate rotations and app metadata drift. Two more buckets of potential improvements for Okta Platform involve user experience and security. There is the issue of push fatigue and prompt sprawl, where users receive multiple prompts across different apps and sessions. I arrived at the rating of eight because the core controls are strong and reliable, but a few operational UX and UI gaps prevent it from being rated higher. The reasons for not giving it a nine or ten include ongoing issues concerning safety and change safety, the complexity of group rules and mappings, and the lack of robustness in policy management. Additionally, there remains a need for more manual involvement than necessary, especially for large portfolios and dual certificate rotation, along with proactive SP data metadata validation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vault and auditing capabilities are the most valuable feature because they include multiple reports that allow us to create our own reports."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"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."
"I recommend it to other organizations."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted my organization with easy single sign-on, as we need single sign-on multifactor authentication for various things and Okta Platform is very secure."
"Okta Customer Identity is considered cheaper compared to other tools in the market, such as IBM and CyberArk products."
"We can integrate two-factor authentication with the applications."
"Okta Platform is highly reliable and does not have any sort of downtime."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"The tool provides a single place of contact for managing users. We only need to manage users in Okta Workforce Identity, eliminating the need to duplicate efforts across different systems. For example, if a user needs to be decommissioned, we don't have to go through all the systems and cloud services; we delete the user in one place. This process is automated with our HR system for both organizations, simplifying user lifecycle management."
"Okta Platform is a great product and one of the best."
"Okta is not only a single sign-on platform but also life cycle management, the core of the identity management platform, and Okta Access Gateway can publish on-premise legacy applications to the cloud."
 

Cons

"There needs to be a notification when a password is near expiration because we have experienced multiple lockouts due to expired passwords."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"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."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"Areas for improvement with Okta Workforce Identity would be in the governance place; for me, it is light."
"Okta could improve by making their learning materials more user-friendly."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"While there are limitations associated with Okta Platform regarding specific features and usage caps based on licensing, I personally have not encountered major issues."
"They are far from perfect, so Okta has the worst implementation."
"I would expect Okta Platform to include more features over time in their less expensive subscriptions."
"I would not say Okta Platform is a cost-effective solution. It is an enterprise-grade solution, so it is comparatively on the higher side in terms of cost."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"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 is cheap if I compare Delinea Privileged Access Service with other products."
"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."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"The pricing for Okta Workforce Identity could still be improved or made cheaper. It costs from 50 to 100 euros a year per user. Okta Workforce Identity has different packages you can choose from, and my previous company had all of them, particularly the full Okta suite."
"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
"Pricing might be high, but it comes down when the number of people using the product goes up."
"The solution's pricing model could be better for SMBs."
