Featured Reviews

Nigus Machin Amare - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Malam Engineering PLC
Centralized identity has strengthened banking security and is improving user authentication
I see areas for improvement with OneLogin as most clients require a market reference or evaluator report, such as a Gartner report, to be convinced to use a new product. Many vendors lack clear documentation or site references. Clarity in documentation, similar to that with Thales and Fortinet, simplifies our job and helps us convince clients by providing links to credible sources. There may be latency issues with OneLogin Customer Identity, as most of these security products are virtual and software-based. Latency and performance depend on the physical server, and fulfilling vendor-recommended resource requirements will ensure functionality; thus, if those requirements are met, there should be no issues.

Structured operations and analytics have transformed how my teams manage customers and sales
I see room for improvement regarding financial operations and FinOps. If they are not being controlled correctly, Salesforce billings can get huge. They charge for everything: license costs, storage costs, and transaction costs, and it can really end up blowing budgets if it is not controlled. Those controls should be something that is easy to manage. With Salesforce, it is pretty difficult to manage unless you are a very advanced user. Normal regular users may not be able to keep the costs in control. This ends up resulting in bill shocks where you suddenly receive a bill which you may not be expecting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of specific numbers, before we had a very poor pool of security breaches and it was not easy to log into every application in my organization, as we manually logged into every application, however, when we got OneLogin, it really simplified how we log in by using just one password or going passwordless, and we have been able to save at least 70 to 80% of our time compared to our previous tool."
"OneLogin Customer Identity has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving our security."
"The biggest benefit of OneLogin Customer Identity for cybersecurity in a banking environment is the ability to manage many virtual machines, servers, and applications that require different credentials and privileges by using single sign-on, which automates the process."
"The solution is very easy to understand."
"The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed, it was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple, making it the best solution at that time."
"The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall."
"Salesforce Identity is a very user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable features are the pipeline management, being able to track the pipeline anytime, and the ability to get in touch with our high management team or board members."
"The best features of Salesforce Platform that I appreciate are that it is very configurable and easy for both developers as well as customers to use."
"The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed. It was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple. It was the best solution at that time."

Cons

"OneLogin Customer Identity's mobile app is not the best and could use some improvements for easy use on the go or at home or remotely."
"Additionally, I noticed that training is a must. A training and learning curve is necessary for everyone to go through, and I would love the option to skip the training if the user already knows about the system."
"Comparing OneLogin Customer Identity with CyberArk technically, I think CyberArk is better; I have had CyberArk for around two years or more, and I know of two or three customers in Ethiopian financial institutions using CyberArk Identity Access Management."
"Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person."
"The product is slow."
"Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application."
"The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a very low price and ten is a very high price, I rate Salesforce Identity's pricing a six out of ten."
"I'd recommend Salesforce for larger products where you really need a robust CRM. It's expensive, so for smaller websites or products, it might not be the most cost-effective solution."
