Hussein Taha - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides wide options for multifactor authentication with very simple implementation
We struggled with the end users because most don't have the required IT background. They needed password resets for emails and accounts in the active directory. This created an issue for the help desk, and the system and ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus gave us a QR solution for the end users. Once an account is set up, you scan the QR code through Google authentication, Microsoft authentication or any program that can authenticate with the QR. You'll automatically generate a code that gives the port to reset or unlock your account very easily.
Stefano Maffei - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use tool that offers its users strong security on the password management front
In my company, we use the solution's dictionary rule to see the availability of passwords or for the integration to other external systems with two-factor authentication The most valuable feature of the solution is that it's a standard product to help our customers implement a solution and to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for remote users to change their login credentials using their mobile devices."
"Due to ransomware and novel threats, we can no longer allow people to gain domain admin access to our servers with only a username and password. With MFA, they must supply a one-time password sent to them via some authenticator, like Microsoft or Google Authenticator. It could be a text message."
"Monitoring is one of the most valuable features for us."
"Having multifactor authentication in Windows machines."
"One of the most valuable features is the self-service capability. I"
"The solution enables agents to reset their passwords."
"The solution provides wide options for multifactor authentication."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"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."
"The solution is very customizable."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"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."
 

Cons

"The registration process could be improved. It should be easier for users to register for the service."
"We need more reports for visualization."
"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."
"Could be simplified, not user-friendly."
"The price must be reduced."
"There is a lack of specific information provided by the analytics portion of the software."
"They could improve their security of the products to prevent vulnerabilities."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
"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. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
 

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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
