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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"OneLogin offers a simplified solution that gives users a one-time login for multiple applications, which significantly improves user experience."
"OneLogin has positively impacted the organization by improving security, simplifying access management, and reducing password-related support issues."
"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."
"Overall, OneLogin has been a reliable and user-friendly IAM platform that helps simplify SSO and strengthen MFA adoption without creating too much complexity for users or administration."
"OneLogin is user-friendly, and any administrator can handle it easily."
"It improves access management, simplifies authentication with SSO, and helps reduce manual effort for onboarding and offboarding."
 

Cons

"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 would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"OneLogin could be improved with simpler user management features, though the current interface is relatively straightforward to use."
"The pricing could be reduced to make OneLogin more effective."
"The admin interface can be improved, and configuring advanced settings feels complex, which costs extra time or technical support to troubleshoot."
"I'm a cybersecurity guy and I found that the two-factor authentication offering they have (if you don't buy one of their other products) is pretty basic."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
"Lately, I've been a little disappointed with the stability. We had a few outages recently."
"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."
"When I compare OneLogin with other solutions or vendors, I see that OneLogin struggles a bit with big companies that have totally different use cases."
 

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."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"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."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
