Featured Reviews

Joel Prodigalidad - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly solution simplifies modern application integration and streamlines data investigation
We do not use these capabilities of Google Cloud Identity because of the limitations for Active Directory integration. Google Cloud Identity could have impacted our organization positively, but if it weren't for the Active Directory integration requirement, we could have been using the Google Identity solution. Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google. The Active Directory integration that Entra has is a better implementation compared to Google, which we found lacking.
Ben Ruset - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes
During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"It's easy to set up."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"Documentation."
"OneLogin is efficient."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."
"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."
"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."
"The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time."
"Ease of integration with AD."
 

Cons

"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"Overall, I would give a zero out of 10 for Google's support. There is no easy way to navigate issues without paid consultation, making it quite frustrating."
"Google Cloud Identity should improve its compatibility with other products without any impact, such as Jamf Cloud."
"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."
"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."
"The tool must be made more robust."
"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."
"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."
"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The solution is not expensive."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"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 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."
"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."
