Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Centralized access control has improved secure onboarding and supports strict compliance
I wish we had used ForgeRock's adaptive risk-based authentication, which allows dynamic adjustment of authentication requirements based on user behavior. This could have helped us further strengthen our security. Another hidden gem is the built-in support for custom authentication modules and scripting, which gives a great deal of flexibility to tailor authentication flows. The self-service capabilities for password resets and account recovery have been very helpful in reducing support overhead and improving user experience. Discovering and utilizing these features would have definitely made our integration even smoother and would have provided additional value for both our users and our security team. One area of improvement would be the user interface for policy and workflow configuration, which can become complex and sometimes unintuitive, especially for new administrators. A more streamlined and user-friendly UI would help reduce the learning curve. Enhanced out-of-the-box analytics and reporting would also be valuable, as our current options often require custom development or integration with external tools. While extensibility is a strength, documentation for advanced customizations and integrations could be more comprehensive and easier to follow. Improved support for seamless upgrades and backward compatibility would also help minimize downtime. In terms of performance, optimizing the platform for high concurrency environments would be beneficial, especially for organizations with large user bases or peak usage periods. Enhanced scalability features such as more granular or horizontal scaling options would provide better support for distributed deployments. For integrations, having more pre-built connectors and easy integration with modern cloud-native services would accelerate adoption. Improved monitoring and real-time health dashboards would help proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.

Unified customer identity has delivered seamless branded logins and secure passwordless access
There are some issues I dislike about OneLogin Customer Identity. Customers are still facing performance inconsistencies. Many times users have reported issues such as slow loading times, some occasional browser extension failures, and long session timeout behaviors. There is also complex implementation and configuration. Setting up this product can be demanding, particularly for an organization with a complex application, legacy applications, or larger application data which requires extensive custom workflows or a need for advanced branding. This will take a larger amount of time for deployment. Customization is easy but it takes time to customize, so it depends on the situation. Occasional service interruptions also occur. During my tenure, some users reported occasional outages or connectivity glitches which disrupted access to business applications.
