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

"This solution has a very good dashboard and the documentation is also very good, and life cycle management and governance are also good features in this solution."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"We use the product to ensure organizations conform to industry base certifications and best practices and do not contradict their security policies within the base points they specify in the system, which are used to match everything against their governance use cases."
"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."
"It was really well accepted by pretty much everybody at the company."
"Overall, OneLogin has had a very positive impact on our organization, improving both efficiency and security across our systems by significantly reducing login-related issues such as password resets or account lockouts, reducing the workload on our IT support team, and enabling employees to access the tools they need much faster, which has improved overall productivity."
"I trust that OneLogin actually values their customers and their ideas."
"OneLogin is a great password management solution that adds security to all our business applications and consolidates password management, saving time and costs."
"The solution's ability to save and manage all my passwords is great."
"OneLogin helps improve security posture, increases user productivity by allowing access to multiple applications with a single password, and has reduced support tickets once users fully learned how to use the tool."
"This product has removed barriers for users to log into multiple services, so it provides a better user experience."
 

Cons

"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."
"I think improvements could be made in the self service center, making it easier for the user to understand."
"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"The solution is also a bit pricey for the Nigeria region."
"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints."
"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"During the last three months, there's been a couple of pretty big outages that have affected my user base pretty heavily. I had pretty much a dead workforce for a day, which is pretty significant."
"OneLogin has been a good experience, but there is a scope of improvement in every application, especially in the admin user interface and overall usability."
"If not, I don't think that's a product that should be released for Mac because you can't do patching and postpone the patching just because they still haven't figured out their tool."
"In terms of support, while the overall experience is good, sometimes response times for more complex issues can be a bit slow."
"OneLogin is a strong IAM solution, though there are definitely a few areas where it can be improved, such as platform stability and outages, customer support responsiveness, and API customization limitations."
"Other organizations can use OneLogin, but they can also refer to Okta."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"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."
"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
