Jonathan Cauthorn - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement
I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.
Ranjan Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables our organization to manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution
The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface. One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"One of the valuable features is that it is relatively organized. I definitely appreciate that aspect. It is also relatively simple to use with a very easy flow to the GUI. The user interface is really top-notch."
"The tool is like a big Lego in which you can use the parts that make sense for your organization."
"In terms of what the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is, that would be hard to say because the tool is great overall. There's not really one feature you'd prefer over other features, but what's really great, in my opinion, is the fact that the provisioning is really stable and accurate, and it's a process my company trusts. This means that without a lot of maintenance, I can be pretty sure that as soon as my alternative source gives a new identity or gives new information about a particular identity, everything will be transformed and executed the right way. My company has tried other solutions and there's always a struggle with the provisioning system in terms of knowing what systems work, but with One Identity Manager, this issue doesn't happen. It's also a stable system which I like."
"The solution is flexible. You can customize it a lot. You can can build connectors, connecting them to a new application, and so on."
"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."
"The product makes it easier for employees to be more productive."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails."
 

Cons

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"One Identity Manager needs better documentation and more examples, especially for beginners, as it has a steep learning curve."
"It is a very powerful solution, but when it comes to doing some complex parameterization or authorization, we end up coding. Comparatively, CA solutions require less coding. It is more powerful than the CA solutions, but you end up with coding in VB.Net or C#. Complex parameterization could be better from their side."
"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk."
"Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license."
"They could make the product more user-friendly. It takes a lot of work to build technical and business cases with the product. The solution is more complex than you think to use."
"They need to remove the dependency on VB.NET for backend development and they need to unify the front end."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"The support for DevOps could be improved with quick delivery cycles and multiple delivery streams."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"Its price is okay."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
