Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 13, 2025

OneLogin by One Identity and Google Cloud Identity compete in the identity and access management category. OneLogin holds the upper hand with its centralized management and security layers, while Google Cloud Identity is notable for its ease in user management and integration with Google Workspace.

Features: OneLogin includes robust features like Desktop SSO, multifactor authentication, and self-service for AD password resets. It captures ease of integration and user provisioning, which streamlines processes such as onboarding and offboarding. Google Cloud Identity offers user-friendly setup, seamless Google Workspace integration, and effective management of application access and device trust.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin could enhance its connectors, downtime management, and support for non-single sign-on applications, alongside intelligent user management and reporting improvements. Google Cloud Identity can improve its integration capabilities, enhance Active Directory support, and develop more intuitive UI and advanced security features such as zero-trust policies.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both products predominantly deploy on public clouds, with options for private cloud usage. OneLogin has mixed reviews for support, with satisfaction declining post-acquisition. Meanwhile, Google Cloud Identity maintains a reputation for excellent customer service with a focus on professionalism and helpfulness, although some improvements in technical assistance are suggested.

Pricing and ROI: OneLogin is generally competitive in pricing, though some concerns exist regarding price changes post-acquisition. It is perceived as delivering good value by optimizing processes despite potential cost hikes. Google Cloud Identity offers reasonable pricing with free offerings up to a certain number of users. Users value Google's predictable pricing model relative to its cost. Both solutions demonstrate significant ROI, notably on time savings and productivity, yet detailed ROI metrics are scarcely quantified.

User-friendly solution simplifies modern application integration and streamlines data investigation

We do not use these capabilities of Google Cloud Identity because of the limitations for Active Directory integration. Google Cloud Identity could have impacted our organization positively, but if it weren't for the Active Directory integration requirement, we could have been using the Google Identity solution. 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. The Active Directory integration that Entra has is a better implementation compared to Google, which we found lacking.

Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes

During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have not experienced any serious problem with stability."

"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."

"The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."

"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."

"The initial setup is easy."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"OneLogin is efficient."

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"Documentation."

"It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management."

"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."

"The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time."

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"The customer service and support team is not so good."

"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."

"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."

"Mobile device management could be improved. Through Google Cloud Identity, we can manage Android applications and have control over iOS devices, but container functionality is missing."

"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."

"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."

"Overall, I would give a zero out of 10 for Google's support. There is no easy way to navigate issues without paid consultation, making it quite frustrating."

"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera."

"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."

"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."

"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."

"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

"More off-hour support."

"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."

"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"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."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"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."

"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."

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
