One Identity Manager Reviews

I have implemented One Identity Manager in banking for research access and education for onboarding diverse users, managing identity lifecycles, and automating processes like account activation and provisioning. It is crucial for securing and streamlining identity management in both sectors.

One Identity Manager has enabled us to implement an Identity-centric zero-trust model, enhancing our access management system. This has strengthened security by granting users precise and necessary access, contributing to a more robust and secure environment for our company.

The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool. This tool allows me to write custom code and provides flexibility to customize and adapt the system to meet specific business objectives.

There is some room for improvement with One Identity Manager. The Metamodel is not developer-friendly, and the web designer customization could be simplified. The report editor tool needs an update as its underlying technology is outdated. Additionally, a stronger community portal for quicker support responses would be beneficial.

I have been working with One Identity Manager for eight years.

I would rate the stability of One Identity Manager as a ten out of ten.

One Identity Manager is suitable for handling up to around five million records, but scalability becomes a challenge with larger datasets, such as over seven million people.

The biggest value of having premium tech support with One Identity Manager is the quick and efficient resolution of issues. However, there have been instances where the support response time could be improved. Overall, I would rate the support as a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup of One Identity Manager was not overly complex, and the documentation could be more user-friendly with additional visuals. We took the help of a consultant during deployment, involving five people. Maintenance is handled in-house as it is an on-premise solution.

One Identity Manager is affordable.

I appreciate that One Identity Manager is a suite with separate tools for managing and governing users, data, and privileged accounts. I find it beneficial that they have organized functionalities into distinct tools rather than consolidating everything into a single screen.

The user interface of One Identity Manager is intuitive for script writing and configuration, offering flexibility and a clear view of user attributes. However, the web application tool for end-user requests and the reporting tool is less user-friendly, especially for the web designer, which can be complex and not developer-friendly.

I use One Identity Manager to extend governance to cloud apps. This is crucial as cloud migration is widespread, and it is important to seamlessly onboard users and ensure governance on these cloud applications, aligning with the industry trend towards cloud adoption.

Using One Identity Manager, specifically the Safeguard tool, has helped me establish a privileged governance stance to bridge the gaps between privileged users and standard users. It provides a distinct solution for managing both types of users effectively.

One Identity Manager assists in streamlining application access decisions, ensuring application compliance, and conducting thorough application auditing.

One Identity Manager has empowered application owners and line-of-business managers to take charge of application governance decisions independently. The platform provides user-friendly tools, reducing the dependency on the IT team for these processes.

My advice to others is that before purchasing One Identity Manager, assess if it fits your use cases, especially considering the size of your user base. Ensure you have a skilled IT team for maintenance. Engage with the One Identity Manager team, conduct a proof of concept, and validate its suitability for your needs. Overall, I would rate One Identity Manager as a nine out of ten.

Like any other identity manager product, the best use cases for One Identity Manager are where you need to use a lot of business logic, and you'll have to configure the processes the way the business wants. In my opinion, One Identity Manager is the best product for business logic and administration. The solution is pretty scalable and can be used in finance, health care, and higher education. One Identity Manager would help if you have an SAP in your environment. It's a top product related to active directory and integration.

The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is its object-oriented architecture. According to this architecture, every element written inside of the system is an object and can be granularly given to someone. The solution's control is amazing. Another great feature of One Identity Manager is its ability to delegate responsibilities to different types of people through granulated access.

One Identity Manager is an incredibly powerful product, but sometimes people need something simpler. The solution should come up with a lighter version so people can buy different versions. I want to see more analytics and not just analytics in terms of reports but actionable analytics.

I have been using One Identity Manager for about 14 years.

One Identity Manager's technical support is pretty good.

Positive

One Identity Manager is the best product in the market.

We are implementing OneLogin right now.

Overall, I rate One Identity Manager ten out of ten.

My clients use One Identity Manager to streamline and enhance their identity and access management processes. Whether it is a university simplifying student onboarding, or a global corporation managing employees across multiple branches worldwide, One Identity Manager helps them efficiently onboard, move within the organization, and offboard individuals. 

One Identity has transformed our organization, particularly in streamlining the join, move, and leave processes. It has shifted these from being manual or non-existent to around 80% automation, making a significant and beneficial impact. Clients, especially in large enterprises, have experienced drastic improvements with One Identity.

One Identity Manager has helped minimize governance gaps, particularly in the transition from test to development and production servers. This has significantly streamlined our operations and simplified the delivery of functionality for our customers who utilize One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager has helped establish a privileged user governance stance, particularly in recommending regular reviews or rotations of privileged accounts. This approach is not only for privileged accounts but also for general usage analysis, ensuring unused accounts are closed, and optimizing licensing. Overall, it contributes to a more robust IT governance framework.

One Identity Manager helps consolidate procurement and licensing processes effectively.

The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation, simplifying user management and compliance.

In terms of improvement, the web portal for end-users in One Identity Manager has improved but could still see enhancements. The training for admins is crucial, and once you gather the knowledge, it becomes fairly easy. However, documentation could be better, especially for new features. It currently doesn't cover everything comprehensively, making it challenging to navigate some aspects. Improvements in documentation would be beneficial.

I have been working with One Identity Manager for four years.

It is quite a stable product. I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of the product as an eight out of ten.

As a partner, we have access to a higher level of support, either gold or platinum. The support experience is generally good, and I would rate it around an eight out of ten.

Positive

Compared to Microsoft, One Identity Manager provides more granular and customizable solutions,  and although it can be used for managing cloud applications and user directories, it's primarily made for managing on premise tenents. The downside of OneIM is the documentation and training. 

The initial deployment of One Identity Manager can be straightforward with the right tools and knowledge, especially if using specific deployment tools. It typically takes around two working days for a basic installation. The solution requires maintenance mainly in the form of periodic upgrades to stay current. Other than upgrades, regular day-to-day maintenance is minimal, focusing on ensuring the application is up and running.

We are consultancy specialising on OneIM implementation. We are experts.

When properly planned and executed,  it should be pretty decent ROI

One Identity Manager is fairly priced, especially for large corporations or enterprises.

We use One Identity Manager for SAP integration, but it has some limitations. Managing logically disconnected SAP accounts can be challenging, and the solution feels somewhat incomplete. As a consultant, there is often a need for additional customization to address the intricacies of SAP integration within the broader One Identity Manager framework.

One Identity Manager connects to SAP accounts for identity governance. However, it is not the primary feature our clients emphasize. While useful, it is not the main driver for most organizations adopting One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager provides Identity Governance and Administration for challenging aspects of SAP, including key codes, profiles, and rules. In a broader sense, it addresses these complexities within the SAP environment.

One Identity Manager is a solid choice for enterprise-level administration and governance. It effectively handles users, data, and accounts. While not perfect for privileged accounts, its integration with a complementary solution makes it a sophisticated option in the on-premise IGA landscape.

The user experience of One Identity Manager is unique, but it is not straightforward for an outsider. It requires some learning, and the navigation can be challenging without guidance. Overall, it is a complex system that benefits from the expertise of consultancies like ours.

Customizing One Identity Manager depends on your expertise. For experienced users, it is straightforward, but for beginners, especially in the first year, it often requires consulting with senior experts. Customization can be simplified with the right knowledge.

I use the solution's business roles to map the company structure for dynamic application provisioning. The business role functionality is crucial for us and our clients.

We use One Identity Manager to extend governance to cloud apps. It is essential, and I would rate its importance around seven on a scale of one to ten. Many customers, including us, find it valuable even if they don't plan to move entirely to cloud servers.

One Identity Manager helps streamline aspects of application governance, particularly in making application access decisions. The effectiveness largely depends on the implementation by the consultancy. If done correctly, it can greatly enhance application governance.

One Identity Manager has enabled application owners and business managers to make governance decisions without involving IT. If implemented correctly, there is minimal to zero IT involvement, allowing them to approve applications, manage access, and handle licenses directly through the One Identity Manager web UI. This aligns well with achieving an identity-centric zero-trust model.

I would recommend One Identity Manager, especially for large enterprises. However, it is crucial to consult with the customer first to ensure it aligns with their specific needs and requirements. Performing a proof of concept could be beneficial to validate its suitability for their environment. Overall, I would rate the product as an eight out of ten.

I designed and implemented One Identity Manager for clients across various companies. This involved a wide range of use cases, including standard employee lifecycle processes like onboarding, transfers, offboarding, and location changes. I also implemented more sophisticated use cases, such as automatically creating Active Directory groups and service accounts based on user requests and approval workflows.

One Identity Manager's enterprise view for managing logically disconnected SAP accounts is good.

One Identity Manager acts as an Identity Governance and Administration solution specifically designed to address the complexities of SAP systems. This deep integration allows for advanced features like implementing Separation of Duties rules, ensuring a more secure and controlled SAP environment.

One Identity Manager delivers important SAP-specialized workflows and business logic.

One Identity Manager provides one platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts.

One Identity Manager, while not boasting the absolute best user interface, offers an intuitive experience. Through its integration with SAP, it provides a comprehensive solution for managing the entire user permission lifecycle, including SAP roles and transactions. I was particularly impressed by its ability to seamlessly read details from the SAP system using a standard connector.

One Identity Manager simplifies backend customization by allowing us to implement custom processes, functions, scripts, and more. However, customizing the web portal, especially the new Angular web portal, is a more challenging task.

One Identity Manager offers a sophisticated model for the business roles to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning.

The functionality of the business role is important because if we build the right business structure, we can simplify the permission manager.

One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage among test, dev, and prod servers.

One Identity Manager helps create a privileged governance stance to close the security gap between privileged and standard users. This has improved our security posture.

One Identity Manager helps streamline aspects of application governance which simplifies the reporting.

One Identity Manager enables application owners and line of business managers to make application governance decisions without IT. Being able to see what users have access to and make the decision regarding the request from one platform, saves us time.

One Identity Manager helps us achieve a zero-centric trust model. 

One Identity Manager stands out for its modular design, allowing us to easily customize it with specific components, and its flexibility to handle any identity and access management scenario we encounter.

One Identity Manager doesn't provide all the user interfaces we need for business users out-of-the-box. This means we need to customize the web portal to display all the information we want to make available to them.

The ROM control modeling has room for improvement.

The user experience can be more user-friendly.

How One Identity Manager deals with disconnected systems needs improvement.

I have been using One Identity Manager for over ten years.

I would rate the stability of One Identity Manager ten out of ten.

One Identity Manager's scalability is the best in the market. From a technical perspective, the number of identities and entitlements we can manage with the overall architecture is good.

The One Identity Manager support is good.

Positive

I previously used Oracle Identity Management and SailPoint IdentityIQ. I switched because I was interested in One Identity Manager which is more popular and trusted in our country.

The initial deployment is straightforward. While the initial software deployment itself can be completed in a day, a full rollout typically requires additional time for configuration, customization, and other necessary steps to tailor the software to our client's specific environment.

One Identity Manager is expensive.

I would rate One Identity Manager eight out of ten.

One Identity Manager requires one to two people for maintenance per project.

I recommend using a partner to evaluate and implement One Identity Manager.

One Identity is used to create, sync, and delete accounts automatically across multiple systems. The product allows employees to be managed from our Human Resources system, while consultants and temporary personnel can be managed manually. The system provides automated workflows and birthright assignments for easier management of similar accounts or those in the same department or role. 

With the system synchronized with our HR database, new account creations are automated and include an email to managers providing users with their credentials for initial login. Only the hiring manager will receive a copy of the initial username and password, helping further secure this information and have it readily available before the employee begins. 

The automation of employee creation and de-provision has streamlined the process in many areas. For employees, all actions begin in the HR department and flow downstream, keeping all systems synchronized with the same data.

Since the system is tied to our HR database, automation has allowed us to immediately terminate accounts based on employee status instead of waiting for notification from a manager.

Consultant accounts are also set on an automated schedule to send an email if an account isn't used within eight days. The account is also automatically disabled if not used in ten days. This provides additional security by not having accounts enabled but not in use.

Several employee data fields are synchronized to Active Directory, providing easy access to other applications (office, address, description, telephone, employee status, etc.). The update process is scheduled and automated to run multiple times a day, so Active Directory is always up to date with different employee data.

The One Identity birthright process has helped generate user accounts more accurately and quickly. Our Service Desk ticketing system is now used to complete user accounts and provide only what isn't common across their department or team. 

The One Identity system is very modular. The product is similar to an erector set, where you can do the same thing in many ways. While this is great, it also can allow you to set yourself up for failure later. The product does require some level of developer skills, so having the ability to make system changes without being a developer would be a plus. 

A tool called Analyzer is included to assist with birthright generation. The tool isn't very user-friendly. It would be helpful to have a tool to more easily find common groups across departments or teams so more groups could be managed in an automated fashion.

I've been using the solution for seven years.

The One Identity platform has been a stable system that provides consistent results. 

This product is extremely scalable. The more development knowledge you have, the more you can do with this tool.

Support has always been responsive and helpful.

Positive

We did use Hitachi IDM. The tool was a first-generation IDM tool and was very difficult to manage.

The initial installation was fairly complex as it is capable of integrating with so many different systems. There isn't an easy wizard to walk through and get you going.

Professional services were used for the initial implementation of the product. We found a different partner for ongoing work and support. Their knowledge of the product is excellent. 

One Identity, in partnership with our consultant partner, has allowed our company to streamline many processes and save employee time for other important tasks. 

I would advise finding and using a development partner for implementation unless you have a dedicated identity management team. Ensure your environment is licensed properly, as One Identity has an active Compliance department. 

No other products were found worthy of trial when surveying the market at the time.

We provide IT services for several European clients, so their individual use cases vary. For example, one is a research center in Sweden. 

One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage. The privilege governance feature enables us to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users, positively affecting our overall operations.

One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important.

The user interface needs to improve.

I have used One Identity Manager for about five years. 

I rate One Identity technical support six out of 10. 

Neutral

I rate One Identity Manager seven out of 10.

One Identity Manager can handle all identity use cases.

It's easy to integrate SAP with One Identity. SAP has different modules, and you can manage users through the One Identity interface. Integrating through a stream connector is simple. 

It's role-based access control, and you can manage it. It's perfect for our customer's governance control. One of my customers is using One Identity's PAM solution. It is a separate component and licensing model.

One Identity should open the market with accessible training material and content so that more developers can be available. They have to improve their marketing strategy, partners, and vendors. One Identity should be attracting engineers to learn their product and get certified. They should have strong forums. They could have a certification program where any engineer can get certified. However, their overall approach is complex, which I do not prefer.

The platform isn't very intuitive like the others, but One Identity Manager has migrated their review scripting to the Angular framework, so now it's good, and they're competing with others from the UI perspective.

One Identity Manager is a little complex from a development perspective. If you compare it to SailPoint, it is easy, but One Identity Manager has so many separate components that it is quite complex for development. And sometimes, we have seen some performance issues.

I have used One Identity Manager for more than 10 years. 

I rate One Identity Manager eight out of 10 for stability. 

One Identity is scalable.

One Identity must improve its support because they have a very limited pool of engineers, and they're often occupied. 

I have used SailPoint.

I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced. 

I rate One Identity Manager eight out of 10. It's more suitable for the enterprise level. I wouldn't recommend it for small or medium-sized enterprises. 

We use One Identity to integrate our internal and external applications into SSO.

One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration. The solution allows us to apply the same governance coverage to all environments. It helps consolidate procurement. One Identity streamlines application access decisions. It allows the application team to choose the protocol the application will use. We can automate access control with One Identity, saving us time and money. The automation gives us a few errors, but it's manageable. 

One Identity's interface is pretty good. It's user-friendly, and you can access most applications inside the console. The user experience is solid. You can use One Identity if you are a layman without much technical experience. You might need a little more training with admin access, but it's easy to learn. 

The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company. Customization can be difficult because One Identity uses specified attributes that we must use.

We have used One Identity Manager.

I rate One Identity Manager eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate One Identity support seven out of 10. 

Neutral

Oracle Access Manager is comparable to One Identity. It's a good product.

Deploying One Identity Manager took around half an hour. Three or four people were involved on our side, and the application team required our product manager and change manager. One Identity requires annual maintenance depending on the customer's requirements, and the number of people devoted to maintenance depends on your environment's size. 

I estimate that the return on investment is around 40-50 percent. 

One Identity Manager isn't the best solution on the market, but it's cost-effective.

I rate One Identity Manager seven out of 10. I would recommend One Identity to a small company. It requires minimum support because it's user-friendly, but you may need something more secure for a large-scale deployment.
