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

"It has improved our organization because it is fast, accurate, and easy to maintain."
"Overall, the product works well and is very good tool, which functions well."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"We were able to clear up some audit actions by providing evidence we have a proper, controlled approval process."
"The product makes it easier for employees to be more productive."
"Among the most valuable features of One Identity Manager are administration from Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, as well as administration from Exchange. These features enable us to have fully automated processes to create new accounts and new mailboxes. The most valuable option is the ability to design an automated route to give our customers permissions."
"One Identity Manager is the tool I need, and I like it."
"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
"One Identity Manager helps achieve an identity-centric Zero Trust model."
 

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."
"The user experience is good, but it can be improved. There are a lot of features in the administration part, and they need better documentation. For example, they need to explain the main reason for a feature, and what the tables are in the database. It needs better documentation about all the features that are in the solution."
"A tool called Analyzer is included to assist with birthright generation. The tool isn't very user-friendly."
"The response was not what I expected."
"The use of the administrative tools is cumbersome because too many are required for configurations."
"Stability has been a challenge. With version 8, especially post go-live, we had a lot of problems."
"The framework is robust and flexible, allowing companies to easily adopt and extend the schema as needed."
"Having new features for web developers in the One Identity Manager shop is an area for improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is its ServiceNow connection as ServiceNow is a major ITSM system player, but the current out-of-the-box feature proposed by One Identity Manager can only make simple incident requests to the system. My company is now in full ICL design, so it prefers for all concerns or requests to be sent properly to ServiceNow, so my company can have better control over the incident requests and be able to sort those out. The tool fits all my needs today, except for the ServiceNow connector. That's the only additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of One Identity Manager."
"They should publish more development documents to help users of One Identity Manager, as there are limited resources available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The machine costs around five hundred thousand dollars."
"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."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"Its price is okay."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
