Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."
"There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow."
"It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails."
"If a client sees everything about the technology and about the solution, they can make a decision to implement One Identity Manager because it is a very good solution."
"The policy and role management features are very powerful and useful for our customers."
"There were significant productivity benefits over our previous platform with the increased automation which took the process of onboarding staff down from days to minutes."
"One Identity Manager is very customizable to meet customer requirements."
"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."
"It has made us much more effective and efficient in providing access to users and in managing certain processes."
 

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."
"They could make the product more user-friendly. The solution is more complex than you think to use."
"One Identity Manager could be improved because the community is a bit small, and the documentation sometimes isn't clear or interactive."
"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."
"I have not personally contacted customer service, but I have heard from colleagues who did, and they were not happy about the support."
"The initial setup was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
