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.

Journey orchestration has improved fraud prevention but still needs shared rules and better usability
The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application. There is no common place where you can write the rules and use that rule for all your applications, which is missing. This is a big feature that is missing compared to the other products in the market. Additionally, the SDKs, Journey Player, and other components are not business-friendly, so you really have to be technical to get into it and do those things. A non-technical person would find it really hard to implement and learn things inside Transmit Security. Even though it requires less coding, you still have to have some technical people in your team to really write the rules and integrate those rules into your application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One Identity Manager impacts my organization positively."
"It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it."
"We have been able to make our help desk self-sufficient by giving them role-based access, reduce service dependency by 40% to 50%, and save 60% to 70% of onboarding time because users are provisioned with the right access and are ready to go from day one."
"Workflow management is an important feature. With other identity management products, there was no workflow management so we had to build it ourselves."
"One Identity has the biggest out-of-the-box functionality set. I've worked with other platforms like SAP that have a lot of features, but One Identity Manager is on top."
"All our lifecycle processes have been improved; some processes used to last around five days, now they are about one day or a couple of hours, which is very good for the user experience of our workers."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company through cost reduction and less effort in the individual departments for the technicians who used to manually create users in Active Directory, which now all happens automatically."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in One Identity Manager, it's the only product where the workflow and the catalog can be configured on roles or by business people."
"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."
"Transmit Security has played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."
"Transmit Security has impacted my organization positively because it is reassuring to know that we are building on top of a trusted tool, and we do not rely on developers that could make mistakes, and because it is an authentication platform, that could be detrimental."
"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."
 

Cons

"Default connectors work fine, but certain connectors, such as SCIM to SAP Cloud Identity Services connector, have quite a few bugs."
"The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."
"We fell into that trap of over-customization which made upgrading the product difficult."
"Support often lacks experienced technical personnel, resulting in long wait times and unhelpful solutions."
"The documentation is poor. For example, the synchronization editor has a lot of things happening, but there's just a description. If you want to do something specific with that like create custom views, they just say go to the extension and select the UUID. However, if we don't have a UUID for this view, it will not work. That isn't in the documentation."
"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."
"Stability has been a challenge. With version 8, especially post go-live, we had a lot of problems."
"AI, intuitiveness, and automations could be improved."
"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."
"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
"The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
"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."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
