Cloud automation has improved development efficiency and supports secure MFA and SSO
The best features in Google Cloud Identity are their cloud, their VMs, and their cloud VMs, which are too good compared to OCI. Using Google Cloud Identity is beneficial in terms of finance as we are always doing automation and AI, and it is definitely the best. I use multi-factor authentication with Google Cloud Identity. Regarding how Google Cloud Identity helps to improve security, I can say that security is something everyone is using. I do not feel any different. After this, everything will be JWT token and all things we are using. I do not feel any difference in there. I have used the SSO feature, single sign-on, with Google Cloud Identity. In a few words, how Google Cloud Identity affected user management within my organization is that it is not done for my organization but for one of my clients only. I already have the ADs there, but still, it is the best. I think the reporting tools of Google Cloud Identity are good. I cannot comment on these kinds of things for this particular product.

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

"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs, and it's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access, as you are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The solution has a good amount of features, integrates well with Azure products, is easy to set up, has good stability, and can scale."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"OneLogin has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of efficiency and security."
"OneLogin has positively impacted my organization because it gives me audit logs and compliance, both of which are very important for many of my clients, especially for this oncology hospital."
"It improves access management, simplifies authentication with SSO, and helps reduce manual effort for onboarding and offboarding."
"Since implementing OneLogin by One Identity, the biggest positive change I've noticed is how much smoother and faster my workday feels."
"Together, SSO and MFA provide a strong user experience, reducing the workload on the development team."
"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 by One Identity has had a positive impact on my organization in that the cost of running the platform for different users has reduced, as people cannot maintain new credentials or new IDs, making our ecosystem reliably closed for specific users to perform; our major USP of the platform is that it's a medical domain platform, so it should have a very limited amount of people, specifically genuine users."
"OneLogin's ability to provide a seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating to needed applications is pretty good."
 

Cons

"Google Cloud Identity should improve its compatibility with other products without any impact, such as Jamf Cloud."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"Pricing is something that can be improved."
"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."
"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."
"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications."
"One area for improvement for OneLogin by One Identity is the integration complexity; having clearer documentation, practical integration examples, and an easier configuration workflow would enable my development team to implement identity security more efficiently."
"The tool must be made more robust."
"I occasionally face some connectivity outages and glitches with OneLogin, which sometimes delay the login process when I am trying to access my data from various applications."
"Customer support is very poor."
"Regarding OneLogin's improvement, I would suggest making the interface more user-friendly and enhancing security features through implementing DLP."
"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."
"The mobile app is not best and it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The solution is not 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."
"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."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
