Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance

One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."

"The flexibility of the product."

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."

"The solution offers high performance."

"The solution is extremely stable; typically if you don't change the setup, the configuration, or anything, it will be running for decades and nothing will happen as an issue."

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."

"It is very powerful and flexible. It works at a very high level, but it can also be tailored as per needs."

"One Identity Manager provides everything in a single place, which is beneficial."

"In terms of what the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is, that would be hard to say because the tool is great overall. There's not really one feature you'd prefer over other features, but what's really great, in my opinion, is the fact that the provisioning is really stable and accurate, and it's a process my company trusts. This means that without a lot of maintenance, I can be pretty sure that as soon as my alternative source gives a new identity or gives new information about a particular identity, everything will be transformed and executed the right way. My company has tried other solutions and there's always a struggle with the provisioning system in terms of knowing what systems work, but with One Identity Manager, this issue doesn't happen. It's also a stable system which I like."

"Provisioning users and permissions has been automated."

"There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow."

"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management. It is very helpful for managing the Joiner/Mover/Leaver process. We also use it for compliance on all the audits which are around."

"I like the solution since it is very flexible, and I can basically do everything that I like and need with it."

"The policy and role management features are superb. If you have a customer who is willing to go somewhere with role management, then the possibilities are endless with the product. It is well-structured, and the architecture is well-defined."

Cons

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"The product provides an excellent framework but could use some polish on the front end to reduce the amount of configuration required for basic tasks."

"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."

"One Identity Manager needs better documentation and more examples, especially for beginners, as it has a steep learning curve."

"Perhaps support could be improved. The knowledge base articles and wiki resources we currently use may not be applicable in every situation, as they often depend on the specific inputs or problems presented by users."

"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."

"Visually, I would like it to be more user-friendly."

"A feature that I would like to see is a mobile app that provides users the ability to make changes or add users to the Active Directory, on the fly."

"It’s not something you get from the beginning. It’s not like Windows. It is more complicated. You need to know a few things from the back end, however, as you learn it, it becomes easy."

"I would like to integrate automated testing with One Identity, and it would be great to have some support from the vendor on here."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."

"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."

"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."

"The pricing is okay."

"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."

"The licensing cost is per user."

"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."

"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
