A cost-effective solution, but the user interface lacks the ability to customize
In the UK, I think that we are one of the biggest utilizers of the service. With the restrictions that it has, I don't think it's got massive upscalability. For general users it is fine, but the scalability could be better. We started with approximately eight and a half thousand users, and we currently have about twelve-thousand people using it. This is used widely across a number of user groups, including administrators, end users, general users, and specific privileged users for two-factor authentication. We do plan to increase the usage of this solution. Our current capacity is fourteen thousand but we will probably grow beyond that.

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 Gemalto Protiva suite is really complete as it has smart card managed software, Secure Digital Key, drivers, smart card reader, smart card, OTP readers etc."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."
"OneLogin has highly impacted our organization positively because it provides full customized control of user access and multi-factor authentication with great supported methods such as SMS OTP or email OTP, which are the key positive things we are getting from this solution."
"OneLogin has a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the areas of security, user experience, and operational efficiency."
"OneLogin has impacted our organization by making work efficient for people by granting them easy access and logins."
"Together, SSO and MFA provide a strong user experience, reducing the workload on the development team."
"Overall, there is satisfaction with OneLogin, and based on the current experience with the product, it would be recommended to other users."
"OneLogin is still the market's most exemplary solution."
"The solution helped save money for our organization, either by optimizing time-intensive processes or by increasing productivity."
"Overall, it not only strengthens security but also simplifies the access management process, making daily operations more efficient and manageable."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement. It is not obvious where things are; while the cosmetics are ok, the way it's laid out on the screen could be better."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"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."
"As organizations grow, managing complex role structures, handling exceptions, and integrating older or custom applications can take more effort than expected."
"However, OneLogin does not have the ability to set a custom timeout on rotating security codes."
"I believe support response time and troubleshooting for complex integrations could be improved in some cases for OneLogin."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
"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."
"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."
"However, if there were multiple documentations about the technical points and what each tab on the GUI is used for, it would be very helpful for others who want to learn, because I did not find a lot of resources about it on the internet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a cost-effective solution compared to some other products out there."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"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 price of the licensing is fine."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
