Inexperienced support for old product, but good flexibility for use case customization

HelpSystems Powertech is scalable if you throw more servers at it. Then you can distribute the load, which is a Microsoft SQL Server backend, and as long as you allocate enough resources to those things, then it is scalable. That's good enough. It would be an entire organization that uses it. So at a hospital for example, a healthcare system, a bank, and it would be the entire workforce on it. I haven't see a lot of customer's specific use cases, but it is for the whole workforce, everyone. The CEO of the company to the janitor. In terms of maintaining it, that requires application administrators or system administrators. There is a manual process to update the product, at least with the on-premise version.

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

"HelpSystems Powertech's feature that I have found most valuable is its flexibility."

"HelpSystems Powertech's feature that I have found most valuable is its flexibility. It is able to be extended. A lot of the products these days, especially the ones on the cloud, are limited and can't handle all the use cases. Often there is not even a way to customize the application to meet uncommon use cases and HelpSystems provides an infrastructure that lends itself to the ability to be customized."

"Together, SSO and MFA provide a strong user experience, reducing the workload on the development team."

"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."

"Ease of integration with AD."

"OneLogin has positively impacted our organization by improving both security and operational efficiency."

"I have seen fewer support tickets after implementing OneLogin, which have been reduced by 60 to 70 percent compared to the previous method."

"OneLogin has positively impacted my organization by centralizing identity management and enforcing strong authentication policies such as MFA."

"Overall, it not only strengthens security but also simplifies the access management process, making daily operations more efficient and manageable."

"Overall it has resulted in a highly productive IT services organization."

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the support of the product. It's hard to get support for it. I think this is emblematic of the fact that they don't have a lot of employees who have long-term experience with it."

"I would not necessarily recommend customers use it."

"One thing that can be improved is that we got some false positives when remote employees were switching networks in the first week, which took some time to fine-tune and settle as per our environment, so that can be more simplified in the initial start."

"OneLogin is a strong platform overall, but the reporting and advanced configuration options could be more intuitive; some administrative tasks and policies configuration have a learning curve for new users, and improving the user interface and providing more detailed built-in reporting would make management more efficient."

"I think OneLogin could improve by providing more features that make everything more unified."

"OneLogin could be improved with more flexible reporting and analytic options, especially for detailed access monitoring and compliance tracking."

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability."

"OneLogin could be improved with simpler user management features, though the current interface is relatively straightforward to use."

"There are many downsides. OneLogin is designed for small businesses, not for big enterprises, which is why it has limited features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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 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."

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
