Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

Shows group analytics with good UI but needs improvement in GPO
The solution helps with group analytics.  Imanami GroupID's UI is good.  The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO.  I have been using the solution for two years.  I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten.  I rate Imanami GroupID's scalability an eight out of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's role-based access control, and you can manage it. It's perfect for our customer's governance control."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."
"It saves time and improves productivity because otherwise, people would be calling the helpdesk."
"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."
"For most customers, their access management system becomes smoother using One Identity Manager."
"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."
"One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system, and based on that job code, we use the query tool so that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should, which runs every night so that the next day everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
 

Cons

"It is a very powerful solution, but when it comes to doing some complex parameterization or authorization, we end up coding. Comparatively, CA solutions require less coding. It is more powerful than the CA solutions, but you end up with coding in VB.Net or C#. Complex parameterization could be better from their side."
"The solution can be improved from a front-end point of view. It slows the portal down."
"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."
"They could make the product more user-friendly. It takes a lot of work to build technical and business cases with the product. The solution is more complex than you think to use."
"The philosophy behind One Identity Manager has always been that there's not one way of working and that you can set it up according to your own identity and access management philosophy, but what would make it better is by shortening the setup time and the learning curve time. If the team could create some best practices with a wizard to set the solution up within companies, that would be a killer feature and would help make identity access management more approachable. That would also help companies that don't have the resources or a dedicated team to set up One Identity Manager. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the addition of just released application governance parts. That would sound promising. It would also be interesting if the team sets up best practice startup wizards, so you could set up One Identity Manager according to selectable best practice wizards instead of setting it up completely by yourself."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"One Identity Manager could be improved with a more user-friendly interface, simpler workflow customization, and easier deployment for complex environments."
"We have some performance problems, so pushing to scale is a challenge."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
