Cloud automation has improved development efficiency and supports secure MFA and SSO
The best features in Google Cloud Identity are their cloud, their VMs, and their cloud VMs, which are too good compared to OCI. Using Google Cloud Identity is beneficial in terms of finance as we are always doing automation and AI, and it is definitely the best. I use multi-factor authentication with Google Cloud Identity. Regarding how Google Cloud Identity helps to improve security, I can say that security is something everyone is using. I do not feel any different. After this, everything will be JWT token and all things we are using. I do not feel any difference in there. I have used the SSO feature, single sign-on, with Google Cloud Identity. In a few words, how Google Cloud Identity affected user management within my organization is that it is not done for my organization but for one of my clients only. I already have the ADs there, but still, it is the best. I think the reporting tools of Google Cloud Identity are good. I cannot comment on these kinds of things for this particular product.

Unified sign-in has simplified access control and has supported end-to-end identity lifecycle
The authentication process is good, but sometimes the responsiveness to requests for enhancement is very slow. I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability. I experience downtimes two to three times per year. OneLogin's support team is sometimes very slow to respond. There is a feature limitation with mapping, as OneLogin does not provide one-to-all mapping. For client deployment, we need to create separate mappings for each request, and we cannot use the same mapping for multiple requests. Other areas that have room for improvement are related to API limitations. If a client requires more APIs, such as 5,000 or 6,000, OneLogin charges more. The API rate limits by default or the standard limit should provide more than 5,000. Additionally, OneLogin could provide more flexibility in configuration. These are the main limitations I have identified with OneLogin.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has a good amount of features, integrates well with Azure products, is easy to set up, has good stability, and can scale."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"Cloud Identity is a cloud-based Software as a Service model, so you don't need to worry about managing the infrastructure."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP, and it becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."
"My impression of OneLogin providing a seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating is positive because I never had any issues or glitches."
"OneLogin has greatly improved efficiency because I can quickly access all the applications without wasting so much time with passwords."
"OneLogin by One Identity has positively impacted my organization by cutting implementation time by fifty to eighty percent and decreasing the workforce required to implement it by fifty percent."
"When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop."
"OneLogin has had a very positive impact on my organization, especially in terms of security, efficiency, and user satisfaction."
"The best features of OneLogin are probably the multi-region capabilities because for multinational companies that have offices around the world in different countries with different languages, OneLogin has native capabilities to help integrate all of that."
"OneLogin has improved user access management, simplified the login experience for employees, and strengthened MFA enforcement across cloud applications without adding too much administrative overhead."
"OneLogin has positively impacted our organization by improving both security and operational efficiency through centralized access management and SSO, which has reduced password-related support requests, saving time for both users and the IT team and enhancing overall security."
 

Cons

"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google."
"One area where Cloud Identity has room for improvement is monitoring and alerts. If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration."
"In Google, if we want support they are very slow to respond."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"When referring to the help articles I found them not helpful. Support themselves understood my query but the resolution was not satisfactory."
"The areas for improvement in OneLogin include better analytics since we do not have very end-to-end visualization of user access logs."
"During implementation, there were not many features that I remember not using in practice."
"Performance is lacking sometimes and having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"The areas that do have room for improvement include a learning curve."
"There are many downsides. OneLogin is designed for small businesses, not for big enterprises, which is why it has limited features."
"I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability."
"Regarding OneLogin's improvement, I would suggest making the interface more user-friendly and enhancing security features through implementing DLP."
"When I compare OneLogin with other solutions or vendors, I see that OneLogin struggles a bit with big companies that have totally different use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
