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

"I trust that OneLogin actually values their customers and their ideas."
"The solution's ability to save and manage all my passwords is great."
"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."
"OneLogin is easy to use and manage, which is one of the best features."
"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."
"OneLogin has strengthened my security posture, streamlined user onboarding and offboarding, and provided a seamless experience for employees accessing multiple applications."
"Specifically, we have seen enhanced security with OneLogin, an increase in overall security of fifty percent compared to our previous solution, and time saved since we can access all our apps within OneLogin using one password."
"The best feature that OneLogin offers in my experience is how much time it saves everyone, not just IT but every single employee in the organization."
"VIP is a strong, cloud-based authentication service that enables organizations to secure access to networks and applications to prevent unauthorized logins to company resources, even when passwords have been compromised or shared."
"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."
"The ease of integrating into an existing authentication system."
"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."
"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."
"After the initial integration, the overall support calls dropped, and customer satisfaction for VPN increased."
"It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft."
"The main benefit of Symantec VIP is that it provides strong authentication while keeping it as a very user friendly experience."
 

Cons

"The tool must be made more robust."
"Lately, I've been a little disappointed with the stability. We had a few outages recently."
"OneLogin is a robust platform, but there is scope for improvement as there are some glitches, connectivity glitches, and some outages that need to be improved."
"I believe the audit trail could be improved, and more solution integrators need to be established."
"Customer support is very poor."
"However there have been times where reaching a technical support resource during US Business hours is difficult."
"OneLogin by One Identity is strong, but there is room to improve."
"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints."
"There are some shortcomings on the reporting side, such as how many connections you can get per month."
"The VIP Manager can be accessed from the outside which is a security vulnerability."
"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."
"The reporting on the VIP Manager is not correct."
"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend."
"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."
"At times, the relay server could not contact Symantec; it would fail open and allow access without a passcode."
"The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"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 price of the licensing is fine."
"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."
"There are additional costs for maintenance."
"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."
