Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system. Gluu filters and displays relevant information based on the user's role in the processes. Users can set it up to view as a viewer, worker, manager, or controller of the area. The front end offers different views but provides an easy dashboard for employees. On the dashboard, users can configure it to show tasks, related work instructions, and connected processes. It's very user-friendly, allowing end-users to understand their tasks and processes without needing in-depth knowledge.

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.

Pros

"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system."
"Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."
"We have seen almost a 50 to 60% reduction in IT support tickets, making the task much easier."
"OneLogin is an excellent solution for security and compliance, as it secures all business applications in a cost-effective way, is very easy to use for new users with its intuitive and user-friendly interface, and is highly recommended because of its security and compliance capabilities."
"Ease of integration with AD."
"Since implementing OneLogin, the HR and IT teams save a significant amount of time, completing projects in one day that used to take one to two days."
"The best features of OneLogin are probably the multi-region capabilities because for multinational companies that have offices around the world in different countries with different languages, OneLogin has native capabilities to help integrate all of that."
"The return on investment I have seen with OneLogin would go close to eighty percent if we combine time and money and everything, because it let us get rid of the servers, which was a quite high-cost item on our budget."
"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."
"Since implementing OneLogin by One Identity, the biggest positive change I've noticed is how much smoother and faster my workday feels."
 

Cons

"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."
"I believe the initial setup should be more straightforward."
"The areas for improvement in OneLogin include better analytics since we do not have very end-to-end visualization of user access logs."
"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."
"However, one thing that could be simplified is the initial setup because it was somewhat tricky during implementation in the initial phase."
"One area that could be improved in OneLogin is the user interface and administrative dashboard experience."
"The initial setup could be more simplified; apart from this, everything is perfect and a very smooth solution."
"The reporting and the dashboard customization could be more flexible, and troubleshooting federation or integration issues can sometimes take more effort than expected."
"However there have been times where reaching a technical support resource during US Business hours is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper compared to typical German products. I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
"The price is reasonable."
"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"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."
"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."
