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

"The initial setup is easy."

"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."

"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 Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."

"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."

"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."

"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."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"Documentation."

"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."

"Ease of integration with AD."

"OneLogin is efficient."

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

"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."

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

Cons

"The integration should be made easier."

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

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

"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."

"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."

"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."

"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."

"The interface could be more user-friendly."

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."

"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."

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

"More off-hour support."

"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."

"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

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."

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

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

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

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

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

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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 price of the licensing is fine."
