Featured Reviews

Unified sign-in has simplified access control and has supported end-to-end identity lifecycle
The authentication process is good, but sometimes the responsiveness to requests for enhancement is very slow. I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability. I experience downtimes two to three times per year. OneLogin's support team is sometimes very slow to respond. There is a feature limitation with mapping, as OneLogin does not provide one-to-all mapping. For client deployment, we need to create separate mappings for each request, and we cannot use the same mapping for multiple requests. Other areas that have room for improvement are related to API limitations. If a client requires more APIs, such as 5,000 or 6,000, OneLogin charges more. The API rate limits by default or the standard limit should provide more than 5,000. Additionally, OneLogin could provide more flexibility in configuration. These are the main limitations I have identified with OneLogin.

Focused workdays have replaced doomscrolling and now reduce my daily screen time significantly
Opal can be improved in some ways. In the paid version, there are multiple features, but in the freemium version, there are fewer features. The blockage of the application can be more rigorous. Right now, if we play two to three games, then a math game or anything, we are able to remove that lock. It should be more rigorous in some manner, and for some applications, it should be more rigorous. Application-wise rigorousness should be introduced. The different modes are good, but they should be more customizable according to the person. The end goal should meet whatever the objective is, so if the person has used more than six hours, then it should remind the person frequently that this application has used this time and this is an application you should not use. It should give us a timer or some kind of notification that the person will not use it anymore.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"OneLogin is easy to use and manage, which is one of the best features."
"OneLogin helps improve security posture, increases user productivity by allowing access to multiple applications with a single password, and has reduced support tickets once users fully learned how to use the tool."
"I have seen a clear return on investment; the necessary staff has been reduced, they were reassigned to another area, and times have also been reduced."
"OneLogin has positively impacted my organization because it gives me audit logs and compliance, both of which are very important for many of my clients, especially for this oncology hospital."
"I trust that OneLogin actually values their customers and their ideas."
"OneLogin has positively impacted us in many different ways, particularly in terms of cost, as our costs have been reduced compared to what we have been spending."
"We have observed approximately 45 to 50% fewer password-related support tickets, faster user onboarding by nearly 60%, and reduced errors."
"Opal has positively impacted my organization by reducing stress and increasing effectiveness for all our employees; it works better so all our employees have more time to sleep and they can investigate more."
"Previously, my phone usage was around nine hours and fifteen minutes or more, but it has significantly reduced to around six hours and thirty minutes to seven hours, meaning two and a half to three hours has been reduced after using Opal as my primary screen time blocker."
 

Cons

"However, if there were multiple documentations about the technical points and what each tab on the GUI is used for, it would be very helpful for others who want to learn, because I did not find a lot of resources about it on the internet."
"The reporting and the dashboard customization could be more flexible, and troubleshooting federation or integration issues can sometimes take more effort than expected."
"There are some tweaks we could make to the administrative UI that could improve workflow administration, along with metrics that could be added to the dashboard which are already available in the platform."
"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."
"OneLogin needs significant improvement in customer support, as I have personally experienced that reaching out to customer support has not been efficient, with responses being slow and problems not resolved quickly."
"OneLogin by One Identity is strong, but there is room to improve."
"OneLogin can be improved by enhancing the reporting and analytic interface; apart from this, everything is perfect."
"I think one area for improvement would be more granular reporting, such as custom dashboards or more detailed audit logs."
"Opal can be improved in some ways."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
