Business Analyst at a startup based organization
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

"One Identity Manager is a powerful and reliable identity governance solution suitable for large enterprise environments, offering strong automation, security, and compliance features that help streamline access management and, once properly implemented, deliver long-term value and improved overall operational efficiency."
"The solution provides an identity-centric approach which supports achieving a Zero Trust model, and it significantly reduces operational costs by allowing the same number of support team members to manage a greater number of systems."
"One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company through cost reduction and less effort in the individual departments for the technicians who used to manually create users in Active Directory, which now all happens automatically."
"It has many features which can be combined and configured in a great way, then put together in projects and ways that developers didn't think were possible, which has been great."
"This solution helped us to increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users or systems, and in some cases, it has gone down from days to hours or minutes."
"If a client sees everything about the technology and about the solution, they can make a decision to implement One Identity Manager because it is a very good solution."
"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."
"While our journey to find a solution was tiring and we invested a lot of work and knowledge, our expectations have been reached and even exceeded."
"After implementing RSA Aveksa, all the above mentioned issues have been resolved."
"After IMG most of the tasks happen automatically, but also offer manual provisioning from a single GUI for all applications."
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
"Violations are highlighted almost real-time and can be managed much more effectively -and this reduces risk exposure of sensitive applications"
 

Cons

"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers."
"The user interface can be confusing for end users, especially during attestations, as completed tasks simply disappear without indicating that there are no pending requests."
"The client application should transition to a web-based interface to improve administration flexibility. Improvements are also needed in the analytics, peer comparison, and recommendation features, as these areas were added later and require more development. More flexibility in the portal is needed for multi-tenant environments."
"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"Job servers can become a single point of failure."
"In regards to the front end, the portal that is offered to our users needs improvement."
"Make logging and debugging easier to find, I never quite know which log to turn on for which use case (just for my tools, for the job service user, etc)."
"There are some crucial adapters missing for SAP CUA and for some Legacy applications."
"The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark."
"When running big collections/connections for the first time, we encountered some performance issues."
"In the older versions, there were sometimes instances where memory would get used up and the application would need a restart."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"Its price is okay."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
"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."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"The licensing cost is per user."
