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.

"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."

Cons

"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."
"The integration with sync could be improved."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk."
"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."
"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."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"The pricing could be improved."

"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."
