Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 19, 2025

OneLogin by One Identity and Google Cloud Identity are key competitors in the identity and access management sector, catering to diverse enterprise needs. OneLogin appears to have the upper hand in features like robust security and integration capabilities, which enhance its appeal for productivity and security-focused organizations.

Features: OneLogin offers seamless integration with multiple SAAS providers via Desktop SSO, facilitates access management through Active Directory credentials, and supports multifactor authentication. Its SmartFactor Authentication ensures enhanced security in remote work settings. Google Cloud Identity is praised for its intuitive setup, Google Workspace integration, and basic multifactor authentication, making it user-friendly and stable for basic needs.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin users call for expanded connector availability, better post-acquisition support, and improved offboarding processes. Enhancements in reporting with SmartFactor Authentication and more intuitive customization options are also suggested. Google Cloud Identity could benefit from better monitoring alerts and security policy configuration, as well as improved integration with non-Google environments and LDAP management for greater flexibility.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both OneLogin and Google Cloud Identity are primarily deployed via public cloud, facilitating robust access. Customer support is generally rated highly, though OneLogin has faced post-acquisition support inconsistencies. Google Cloud Identity stands out for responsive support, but improvements in customizing alerts and support options are noted.

Pricing and ROI: OneLogin is regarded as competitively priced with significant ROI from process streamlining, despite past fee increases. Google Cloud Identity provides affordable options, including a free tier for basic services, while enterprise pricing remains competitive. Both products promise high ROI through IT management efficiencies and productivity enhancement, though pricing strategies affect user satisfaction and choice.

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

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

"The initial setup is easy."

"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."

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

"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."

"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."

"The best features of Google Cloud Identity are that it's free and works with modern applications, meaning if it's OAuth or using the OAuth protocol, it's very easy to integrate with those applications."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."

"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

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

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

"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."

"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."

"Ease of integration with AD."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"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."

"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."

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

"Technical support is slow."

"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 more user-friendly."

"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."

"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"More off-hour support."

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

"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."

"We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."

"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."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."

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

"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."

"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."

"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."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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