Centralized authentication streamlines global access with single sign-on and auto-scaling for seamless user experience
We use Akamai Enterprise Application Access for centralized authentication for our global customers. It provides a solution for consolidated authentication on our platform. We use the service to manage access for our global consumers, not for remote access for our employees My favorite part of…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cost and the capability are great."
"My favorite part of the Akamai Enterprise Application Access service is its SSO and auto-scaling capabilities."
"We've had a good ROI from Application Access."
"Application Access's most valuable feature is the accessibility of enterprise tech protection."
"The capability of Akamai Enterprise Application Access is what you're looking for, it's giving you the service that you're looking for. It's simple and doesn't use an agent. It uses LCSD responders, and they have a lot of services around the globe. That's the reason that we were very interested in using it because it has a lot of coverage. This is because it's under the GDS umbrella."
"The solution is very convenient and stable because you don't have to worry about attacks to public IPs or public networks."
"Since implementing OneLogin, I have been seeing a significant reduction in login-related support tickets, approximately a 30% decrease."
"OneLogin has positively impacted our organization by improving security and user experience by simplifying access to business applications through single sign-on while also reducing password reset tickets and manual account management for the IT team."
"OneLogin is user-friendly, and any administrator can handle it easily."
"From a user perspective, with the right amount of training and documentation, OneLogin by One Identity provides a very seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating to needed applications."
"It improves access management, simplifies authentication with SSO, and helps reduce manual effort for onboarding and offboarding."
"It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management."
"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."
"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."
 

Cons

"The solution has two agents so should combine its enterprise application and security access into one agent."
"The pricing could be lower for Akamai Enterprise Application Access."
"The technical enablement sessions are quite limited, and Akamai could help by providing more of them."
"We need another approach to bring the solution to the cloud. In addition to Access Management, we would like to see if we can jump into Directories. I think ADs are going to go away and everything is going to be cloud-based and minimize the use of ADs because of the cost and some other dependencies to the cloud. Every time you buy AD it is more hardware, and everything's changing to software. The network's changing, the applications are changing, and for IT it is hard to keep up with it."
"If you provide enterprise services we have to stop telling the customers it's going to be per users or the transactions. That's not good for the customers, it's good for the vendors."
"There are many downsides. OneLogin is designed for small businesses, not for big enterprises, which is why it has limited features."
"In some cases, users have noted delays in response times or slower escalations for more complex problems, particularly outside standard support scenarios."
"I'm a cybersecurity guy and I found that the two-factor authentication offering they have (if you don't buy one of their other products) is pretty basic."
"Based on my experience, improvements needed for OneLogin include better granular policy controls and more advanced analytics for authentication activity, which would be especially useful for larger enterprise environments."
"Performance is lacking sometimes and having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"Reporting and analytics in OneLogin by One Identity can be improved, as filtering and customization options for more complex requests are limited."
"OneLogin can be improved by enhancing the reporting and the dashboard customization for more flexibility, and troubleshooting federation or integration issues can sometimes take more effort than expected."
"I think one area for improvement would be more granular reporting, such as custom dashboards or more detailed audit logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is great it is all-inclusive, they use an enterprise cost model. That's what we like compared to other users. This is one of the main attractions of Akamai Enterprise Application Access. It's already an enterprise cost model established with us for services."
"The license can be shared based on the number of active users."
"Licensing is based on user count."
"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."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
