Featured Reviews

Amit Rathod - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Analyst - IDAM at Toll Holdings Limited
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.

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users
To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneLogin has highly impacted our organization positively because it provides full customized control of user access and multi-factor authentication with great supported methods such as SMS OTP or email OTP, which are the key positive things we are getting from this solution."
"OneLogin is a highly pragmatic workforce identity engine that eliminates manual authentication debt across fragmented infrastructure securely."
"It has made things easier to manage, as all users obtain the correct apps to deliver on their role without much admin intervention after onboarding."
"OneLogin has positively impacted our organization by improving security, productivity, and access management efficiency, as employees can securely access multiple enterprise applications with a single authentication process, which reduces login friction and minimizes password-related issues."
"Around 30 to 40 percent of time is saved since using OneLogin, and the error has been reduced because a single login manages all the applications, significantly cutting down on errors."
"OneLogin's best features are the whole package, which includes the combination of the integration with Active Directory, user provisioning, and the graphical user interface."
"OneLogin delivers a very good user experience with true single sign-on that minimizes authentication overhead and allows consistent access across applications."
"Documentation."
"If you're looking for a fairly lightweight client that works very well for remote access purposes, I think Symantec is definitely a good product."
"It is easy to use."
"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."
"Cloud-based service and management."
"The ease of integrating into an existing authentication system."
"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."
"The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model."
"I like the whole solution, and I would recommend it."
 

Cons

"In some cases, users have noted delays in response times or slower escalations for more complex problems, particularly outside standard support scenarios."
"Customer support is also good, but it is slow."
"OneLogin can be improved by enhancing the reporting and analytic interface; apart from this, everything is perfect."
"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."
"OneLogin could be improved with simpler user management features, though the current interface is relatively straightforward to use."
"However, OneLogin does not have the ability to set a custom timeout on rotating security codes."
"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."
"The learning curve of OneLogin is a bit tricky, requiring around two to three days of training to use it."
"Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users."
"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
"The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."
"If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them."
"There are some shortcomings on the reporting side, such as how many connections you can get per month."
"In my opinion, for this solution, the technical support is not so expert when we talk about integration using the API."
"Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it."
"Geofencing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"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."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"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 price of the licensing is fine."
"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."
"I can say that the solution is worth the money."
"There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."
"Licensing and pricing seems very fair."
"There are additional costs for maintenance."
