OneLogin by One Identity and F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager compete in the identity management category. OneLogin has an edge in ease of use with a simple user interface, while F5 APM has superior security features for complex infrastructures.
Features: OneLogin provides a streamlined single sign-on process, easy role and user management, and seamless directory integration. F5 BIG-IP APM offers advanced security through a variety of authentication protocols, load balancing for complex systems, and customizable access controls.
Room for Improvement: OneLogin users seek more connectors, enhanced reporting features, and automation in offboarding. There are also concerns about better support during off-hour downtime. F5 APM would benefit from improved cloud integration, a clearer pricing model, and a more user-friendly GUI.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OneLogin’s cloud-based deployment offers flexibility, facilitating remote work, but its customer service has mixed reviews. F5 APM supports hybrid deployments suitable for enterprise infrastructures and consistently receives positive feedback for customer service and technical support.
Pricing and ROI: OneLogin is competitively priced, offering high ROI through streamlined processes, despite some concerns about cost increases post-acquisition. F5 APM is seen as costly but justified by its reliability and security, providing significant ROI, especially in terms of efficiency enhancements.
F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is an access management proxy solution for managing global access to the enterprise networks, cloud providers, applications, and application programming interfaces (APIs). Through a single management interface, BIG-IP APM consolidates remote, mobile, network, virtual, and web access.
BIG-IP APM can also serve as a bridge between modern and classic authentication and authorization protocols and methods. For applications which are unable to support modern authentication and authorization protocols, like SAML and OAuth with OIDC, but which do support classic authentication methods, BIG-IP APM converts user credentials to the appropriate authentication standard supported by the application.
