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

"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"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."
"One Identity Manager provides everything in a single place, which is beneficial."
"One Identity Manager has had a positive impact on our organization as it has allowed us to streamline the use of Active Directory accounts and strengthen our security."
"The product is flexible. For example, it offers cloud features."
"One Identity is one of the most feature-rich platforms on the market. It covers every use case. The user interface has been improved, making it easier to make it look like what customers want. It's easier to customize than a lot of competition solutions. There are nearly a thousand built-in processes that you can edit and customize according to your needs."
"For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature."
"It provides a unified view of logically connected solutions."
"One Identity Manager is very efficient for a limited amount of users, and it is easy to use and handle."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is it simplifies user-account provisioning and administration. One Identity offers a comprehensive range of solutions that cater to almost every aspect of the identity and access management domain."
 

Cons

"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex."
"One Identity Manager is a complex tool with multiple components and a convoluted backend."
"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."
"I have noticed a slow performance dynamic group integration with AWS Cloud that could be improved with One Identity Manager."
"The technical support could be improved, particularly for architects with advanced knowledge."
"The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. The journey from implementing to joining all the systems was difficult."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
"One Identity Manager would benefit from enhancements in flow customization and faster performance in large environments to make it more efficient."
"Job servers can become a single point of failure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"Its price is okay."
"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."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
