Ranjan Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables our organization to manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution
The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface. One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.

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 is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"One Identity Manager offers identity-centric security, acting as a single source of truth by centralizing identity data for users, devices, and applications. It supports role-based access control and automatically assigns and reworks roles to minimize privileges."
"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."
"In terms of what the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is, that would be hard to say because the tool is great overall. There's not really one feature you'd prefer over other features, but what's really great, in my opinion, is the fact that the provisioning is really stable and accurate, and it's a process my company trusts. This means that without a lot of maintenance, I can be pretty sure that as soon as my alternative source gives a new identity or gives new information about a particular identity, everything will be transformed and executed the right way. My company has tried other solutions and there's always a struggle with the provisioning system in terms of knowing what systems work, but with One Identity Manager, this issue doesn't happen. It's also a stable system which I like."
"It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users."
"The connection with multiple systems is what makes it flexible. We can create the accounts flexibly, enabling access to other systems. In addition to Active Directory, it can extend to SAP, to Salesforce, to Office 365, etc."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"We chose this product for being able to accommodate our requirements. It's very flexible, and it's open to being developed to our requirements."
 

Cons

"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"There are a few aspects of One Identity Manager's user experience that could be improved."
"I would like it to have an easier integration with phones."
"The framework is robust and flexible, allowing companies to easily adopt and extend the schema as needed."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"The product is quite scalable, except for the database which is not highly available. This is where scalability could be improved."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
