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."
"It is easy to use and handle."
"This product is very effective and has more capabilities than any other."
"Great product, which I would recommend."
"I like how One Identity Manager is designed. We can control granular-level permissions. Compared to SailPoint and CyberArk, we can go granular in the access levels. We can control it at the table, column, and database levels. That's the power of One Identity."
"It has made us much more effective and efficient in providing access to users and in managing certain processes."
"The best features of One Identity Manager are the synchronization project, the mapping, onboarding using CSV, and the designer tool which allows us to write our own custom workflows."
"Quest One IDM allows for large customization."
"We have been able to make our help desk self-sufficient by giving them role-based access. We have been able to reduce service dependency by 40% to 50%."
 

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."
"They should publish more development documents to help users of One Identity Manager, as there are limited resources available."
"The performance could use improvement; sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"Make logging and debugging easier to find, I never quite know which log to turn on for which use case (just for my tools, for the job service user, etc)."
"One Identity could add more connectors for various services we integrate. We need to build and configure custom connectors for our clients with complicated environments and multiple data streams."
"The customization process should be simplified."
"What is missing is a mobile user interface for the end-users so that they can do simple things on their mobile phones on the go."
"The system role manager, or some of the roles that are inside Identity Manager, are limited to one user. It would be more flexible if these responsibility roles could be attached to many people."
"One area that could be improved is the speed of performance - it's often a bit slower because of the size of its database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The machine costs around five hundred thousand dollars."
"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."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"Its price is okay."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
