Pros & Cons summary

OneLogin integrates with Active Directory and Google Workspace, simplifying password management and centralizing information. Single Sign-On, two-factor and SmartFactor Authentication enhance security. While reducing login support tickets, the current need is for more connectors and a user management portal. Offboarding requires manual steps that could benefit from automation. Customer support lacks 24/7 availability, and recent outages have impacted service. Tech buyers may consider these aspects when evaluating OneLogin's offerings.

Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had.

When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop.

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.

To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that.

I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera.

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.

This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users.

We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications.
