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.
Quach Van Lam - PeerSpot reviewer
Flexible, easy to customize, and not too difficult to set up
The initial setup isn't so difficult. The product can be flexible in the build. You can easily customize the workflows. We can set everything up on the cloud, which makes things very easy. It can easily adapt to the PoC requirement and the set requirements on the app's online version.

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 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."
"Delinea has very good support, rating them an eight or nine out of ten."
"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 reporting is excellent."
"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"Delinea has very good support."
"The solution is flexible."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"It is difficult to integrate the product with other IT systems."
"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."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"This solution needs better integration with third-party solutions because their ability to support other tools is very weak."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"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 workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In addition to the license fees, we have to pay for the server and admin fees."
"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."
"It is sad that people with a limited budget won't be able to afford it."
"The price model is based on the number of devices and opposed to the number of users, and it is not very flexible."
"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 solution is priced too high, so I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"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 IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
