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

"OneLogin's ability to provide a seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating to needed applications is pretty good."
"OneLogin has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce issues and save time."
"We are receiving good feedback from end-users for the seamless authentication, as they are very happy with the solution; they do not need to provide passwords multiple times for different applications, only needing to log in once to access all their provided applications, resulting in an excellent user experience."
"This product has removed barriers for users to log into multiple services, so it provides a better user experience."
"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."
"I feel that switching to OneLogin is a good move for us in terms of centralized access and identity management, and since we have transitioned to OneLogin, it has greatly reduced our manual work and offloaded much of our IT tasks."
"OneLogin has really saved our IT team efforts and the management of the solution, and we are able to easily deploy or de-provision users or employees in our organization."
"The solution helped save money for our organization, either by optimizing time-intensive processes or by increasing productivity."
"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

"Overall, OneLogin is solid, but we can implement some improvements with Active Directory connectors."
"I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability."
"OneLogin could be improved if there were easy configuration options."
"OneLogin could be improved with simpler user management features, though the current interface is relatively straightforward to use."
"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."
"OneLogin's reporting and dashboard customization could be more flexible, and troubleshooting federation or integration issues can sometimes take more effort than expected."
"OneLogin could be improved with more add-ins for integration with Entra ID and Exchange Online."
"Sometimes there is a slight delay in getting the code, but overall it is smooth and reliable."
"Opal can be improved in some ways."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
