Efficiently keeps track and monitors
When I look at something like a server or a user who has an unsuccessful login, all they're giving me is what is from the domain controllers. When I click on the analytics portion that says give me information, it doesn't tell me what application is errored out. It doesn't tell me; it just tells me what is the same information from the domain controller. I'd like a little bit more robust information on actually giving me some useful information instead of some links that send me out to the Internet that says research here, and then I have to do additional research. It's kind of generic. And, basically, it's just a quick, I don't have to search through the domain controller logs, but once I pull those out, the logs are still very generic like you get from Microsoft. Area code four three one one. Okay. I had to go look that up. It doesn't take it any further than just a copy based on the domain controller.

Self-service password reset has transformed support and now frees IT to focus on strategic work
While One Identity Password Manager is a strong solution, there are definitely a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools. Improving the UI would enhance user adoption and the overall experience. The second area is performance and stability. In some cases, performance can be slow, and there have been instances where updates occasionally cause stability issues. A more reliable upgrade process would definitely improve confidence in the product. The third area is integration complexity. Although it integrates well with systems such as Active Directory, integrating with other platforms can sometimes be complex. Having more out-of-the-box connectors or simpler integration options would be beneficial. Overall, One Identity Password Manager is a reliable enterprise solution, but improving usability, performance, and integration flexibility would make it even more competitive in today's market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution enables agents to reset their passwords."
"It's very simple to manage and implement. Its functions are straightforward. You get all the basic features, such as you get the option to unlock the user account if it is locked. You can enforce password policies, and you also have the option to allow them to reset their passwords if they forget it. These were the basic requirements of my company that we could achieve through this product."
"This solution has improved our security because our users can now change passwords on the fly."
"The solution provides wide options for multifactor authentication."
"Having multifactor authentication in Windows machines."
"Monitoring is one of the most valuable features for us."
"ADSelfService has been highly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for remote users to change their login credentials using their mobile devices."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use."
 

Cons

"Asset management/discover and reporting."
"They could improve their security of the products to prevent vulnerabilities."
"The price must be reduced."
"There is a lack of specific information provided by the analytics portion of the software."
"We need more reports for visualization."
"The registration process could be improved. It should be easier for users to register for the service."
"Could be simplified, not user-friendly."
"The worst part is that the solution can only be installed or updated on a device if it is physically connected to the local network."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell and One Identity is under Quest, which resulted in poor support because it created disconnections between my company and One Identity."
"One area is the user interface. It is functional but not very modern or intuitive compared to newer password management tools."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"One thing we noticed is that the user interface and overall experience could be more modern and intuitive."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"One Identity Password Manager can be improved with a more modern user interface, better reporting and analytics capabilities, and simpler integration workflows for some third-party systems, while faster customization and more cloud-focused features would also improve the overall experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Using this solution costs us about $1,200 USD per year."
"You purchase the license for one time, and you can use it for a lifetime. The only thing is that in order to get support, you need to upgrade your product to the latest solution. You need to keep a support contract with them for which you have to pay some amount. It's a very small amount for renewing their support contract. Overall, it's very cost-effective."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
