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.

Configuration based tool that requires less coding compared to other IAM products.
* The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark. * Tutorial and solution examples are lacking in RSA community center. * Customization flexibility is also minimal due to this sometimes not able to fulfill the organization's complex requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features of One Identity Manager are the synchronization project, the mapping, onboarding using CSV, and the designer tool which allows us to write our own custom workflows."
"The tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"The main benefits I've seen from using One Identity Manager are that it's very easy to use, and compared to other tools such as SailPoint and Okta, which are very difficult to learn and manage identities with, One Identity Manager has a very good UI and is easy to learn and understand if we have knowledge about .NET and SQL, or the OOPS concept, making it easy to grasp the tool."
"I greatly appreciate the initial approach provided by One Identity Manager."
"Using this solution means that our engineers do not need to log in to a domain controller as frequently, and instead they can log in using One Identity to perform all of the administrative tasks, which is beneficial from a security perspective and also helps to complete the task in the least amount of time."
"The solution is flexible. You can customize it a lot. You can can build connectors, connecting them to a new application, and so on."
"After implementing One Identity Manager, onboarding and provisioning time is reduced by around fifty percent, and manual access-related errors decrease significantly due to automation and approval workflows."
"This is almost a complete solution for us."
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
"After implementing RSA Aveksa, all the above mentioned issues have been resolved."
"Violations are highlighted almost real-time and can be managed much more effectively -and this reduces risk exposure of sensitive applications"
"After IMG most of the tasks happen automatically, but also offer manual provisioning from a single GUI for all applications."
 

Cons

"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."
"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."
"The main functionality that I expect from One Identity Manager is to include more possibilities to use a custom interface and a more user-friendly interface, as this is one of the major topics."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"I am waiting to see the new API for the web."
"The documentation is poor. For example, the synchronization editor has a lot of things happening, but there's just a description. If you want to do something specific with that like create custom views, they just say go to the extension and select the UUID. However, if we don't have a UUID for this view, it will not work. That isn't in the documentation."
"I find that the user experience and intuitiveness of One Identity Manager are quite confusing."
"The implementation of the tool and management on the infra side is a bit difficult."
"There are some crucial adapters missing for SAP CUA and for some Legacy applications."
"In the older versions, there were sometimes instances where memory would get used up and the application would need a restart."
"When running big collections/connections for the first time, we encountered some performance issues."
"The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is per user."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
