Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because of all these reasons and by comparison, we almost always recommended Ilex as the best solution for the sake of prompt and efficient project deployment."
"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"From my personal experience, it is very easy to manage from one single console as I am managing all my PAM solutions, IAM solutions, team solutions, and the active directory through One Identity Manager, making it easy for us to manage all user level access and governance in a single place."
"It's very flexible."
"After implementing One Identity Manager, onboarding and provisioning time is reduced by around fifty percent, and manual access-related errors decrease significantly due to automation and approval workflows."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"One Identity enables us to provide users with permissions for only the roles that they need. We can use segmentation to ensure that users don't have roles that can cause trouble in the business."
"One Identity Manager has improved efficiency and better control over user access management."
"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management. It is very helpful for managing the Joiner/Mover/Leaver process. We also use it for compliance on all the audits which are around."
"One Identity Manager provides a wide range of features that enable connection to numerous target systems."
 

Cons

"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"Pricing for One Identity Manager is something that can be controlled or reduced."
"Initial deployments are complex and require proper planning."
"Customer support for One Identity Manager is generally good, especially for identity governance and integration-related issues. However, complex cases or advanced customizations can sometimes take longer to resolve."
"I find that the user experience and intuitiveness of One Identity Manager are quite confusing."
"I have not personally contacted customer service, but I have heard from colleagues who did, and they were not happy about the support."
"One Identity Manager can be made more user-friendly for end users."
"One Identity Manager's user interface can be confusing due to its multiple UIs."
"They could improve the support. Sometimes, you make a service request and don't get an answer. Then, sometimes, we don't get a response that we want, and it's frustrating."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
