Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

Provides robust identity governance with deep customization and advanced integration for complex environments
One Identity Manager is a very robust tool with plenty of out-of-the-box features in the identity and access management space, and it is very easy to customize and fits for very complex platforms. For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature. It also helps streamline aspects of application governance, including access decisions, compliance, and auditing. It has a module called access recertification or attestation for recertification and a robust segregation of duties engine, as a governance platform that collects data and provides a variety of dashboards for management. One Identity Manager provides IGA for difficult-to-manage aspects of SAP, and I can manage by assigning profiles, roles, and groups. There's also a role-in-role concept where I can assign a role to another role. One Identity Manager delivers SAP-specialized workflows and business logic. For example, if my SAP solution is integrated with SAP GRC and I want to request a segregation of duties check with GRC before provisioning an SAP role, all those tasks can be done in One Identity Manager. It is easy to manage and provides a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users' data and privileged accounts, but one must know the product. Learning One Identity Manager takes some time, around four to five months, but once learned, managing applications such as SAP or Active Directory becomes easy. One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage for test, dev, and production servers, and it provides internal deployment tools that make it straightforward to manage code across different environments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"It's role-based access control, and you can manage it. It's perfect for our customer's governance control."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."
"One Identity Manager is a very robust tool with plenty of out-of-the-box features in the identity and access management space, and it is very easy to customize and fits for very complex platforms."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing. Now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved. It's all in the same system."
"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
 

Cons

"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation."
"One Identity Manager could incorporate dynamic dashboarding to predict attack vectors and compromises."
"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person. They do have good technical people in support, but it is sometimes not so easy to get them."
"More integration with SAP and with the internet of things would be good. We also have system devices that we could manage as identities, so that would be a feature to add."
"What is missing is a mobile user interface for the end-users so that they can do simple things on their mobile phones on the go. The time it takes to synchronize a large target system is often significant, often taking multiple hours."
"[Regarding] their upgrades, we're going to 8.12 right now and everything is running very smoothly but this is actually the first upgrade that has gone off well. Even the other "dots" have taken us six months or longer to get through QA testing."
"I also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Its price is okay."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
