OneLogin by One Identity and F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) compete in the access management and security solutions category. OneLogin has the advantage in ease of use and cloud integration, while F5 BIG-IP APM is recognized for its robust security features in complex environments.
Features: OneLogin offers multifactor authentication, self-service password resets, and an intuitive access management interface that integrates seamlessly with desktop features and Active Directory (AD). F5 BIG-IP APM provides customizable security protocols like SSL VPN and SAML, allowing enterprises extensive portal access and integration capabilities.
Room for Improvement: OneLogin could enhance its offboarding automation, reporting capabilities, and provide more out-of-the-box connectors. F5 BIG-IP APM needs improvement in GUI, cloud service integration, and setup simplification. Customers also express a desire for enhanced SaaS capabilities for both products.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OneLogin is known for straightforward deployment in a public cloud setting, making it suitable for remote applications, but has faced some customer service challenges post-acquisition. F5 BIG-IP APM is often deployed on-premises or in a hybrid model, with strong support and effective customer service. OneLogin excels in cloud flexibility, while F5 provides control in on-premises environments.
Pricing and ROI: OneLogin is considered affordable with a competitive licensing model, especially beneficial for education sectors, offering immediate ROI through time-saving. There are noted price increases post-acquisition. F5 BIG-IP APM is marketed as a premium product, more costly but valued for reliability and security in critical environments. Both products enhance security and streamline operations, but OneLogin is seen as more cost-effective for straightforward applications.
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.
