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

"This solution is better on the IT personnel, because now they spend less (or almost no time) managing user rights."
"The product was initially brought in to replace an unsupported solution, and later on it became a partner self-service portal, reducing service desk calls to create accounts for business partners."
"One Identity Manager offers identity-centric security, acting as a single source of truth by centralizing identity data for users, devices, and applications."
"We are getting cost savings by automating system integrations."
"The tool is one of the best tools, out-of-the-box."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"One Identity Manager's most valuable asset is the ability to customize its front-end website."
"Quest One IDM allows for large customization."
"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."
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
"After implementing RSA Aveksa, all the above mentioned issues have been resolved."
 

Cons

"One Identity Manager is currently in the process of modernizing its UI, which I hope will result in a more user-friendly interface for its Identity Manager. However, it is uncertain whether they have plans to consolidate their various tools into a unified system to simplify configuration and tasks."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"One Identity Manager needs to come up with many more out-of-the-box connectors, similar to Workday and ServiceNow."
"The implementation of the tool and management on the infra side is a bit difficult."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"In regards to the front end, the portal that is offered to our users needs improvement."
"This version, version 8 has been working fine. Version 6 was horrible for us; the performance wasn't good at all."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"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."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
