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

"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"It is a totally secure way of accessing clients through various application portals for more than ten EU countries, just by using single sign-on."
"It is a very stable and good product."
"Provided more secure computing."
"Several SSO methods are supported out of box, federation based SSO (SAML / Oauth / OpenID etc) setup is easy, performance and scalability are very good, and the internal STS token service can be used for custom SSO tokens."
"Tivoli Access Manger lets you separate security from applications and manage at one place."
"It is one of the best products in the present market in the area of access management."
"It is a simple-to-deploy solution, with many features that are supported out-of-the-box without complicated setup."
"OneLogin has strengthened my security posture, streamlined user onboarding and offboarding, and provided a seamless experience for employees accessing multiple applications."
"The single sign-on feature of OneLogin is the most valuable and useful for me, as it allows one-click access to all apps, eliminating password juggling and frustration while providing centralized access control."
"We are receiving good feedback from end-users for the seamless authentication, as they are very happy with the solution; they do not need to provide passwords multiple times for different applications, only needing to log in once to access all their provided applications, resulting in an excellent user experience."
"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."
"This product has removed barriers for users to log into multiple services, so it provides a better user experience."
"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."
"We have seen almost a 50 to 60% reduction in IT support tickets, making the task much easier."
"OneLogin is incredible and easy to use and provides robust security features that simplify our login processes."
 

Cons

"The whole product could be made into one suite instead of multiple components which are essentially a part of the same infrastructure."
"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"The TAMeB policy server is not scalable."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"I would rate the technical support a 6/10."
"Initial setup was complicated because TAM was implemented as a part of the IDM solution."
"This product is also available in the appliance offering which has not yet matured and has many issues."
"Redundant Policy servers had to be manually configured using LB."
"OneLogin could improve its admin interface and troubleshooting experience because some configuration and error logs can be difficult to track during complex integrations or provisioning issues."
"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."
"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company."
"There are many downsides. OneLogin is designed for small businesses, not for big enterprises, which is why it has limited features."
"In some cases, users have noted delays in response times or slower escalations for more complex problems, particularly outside standard support scenarios."
"The pricing could be reduced to make OneLogin more effective."
"OneLogin should provide better documentation on configuring policies and roles and ensure that customer support is available 24/7 with experienced staff to improve the complexity of the deployment process."
"The initial setup could be more simplified; apart from this, everything is perfect and a very smooth solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
"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."
