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

"I would definitely recommend One Identity Manager."
"The product is flexible. For example, it offers cloud features."
"There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"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."
"We chose this product for being able to accommodate our requirements. It's very flexible, and it's open to being developed to our requirements."
"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important."
"It provides a unified view of logically connected solutions."
"After IMG most of the tasks happen automatically, but also offer manual provisioning from a single GUI for all applications."
"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"
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
 

Cons

"It can have a clearer navigation map of the user interface and user provisioning. The documentation lacks step-by-step details on common tasks like creating roles, running action reviews, and version control."
"More than one job server cannot be allocated per target/source system which can be a performance bottleneck."
"I would like to have more advanced features and reporting added to One Identity Manager."
"User experience with One Identity Manager is somewhat difficult compared to cloud SaaS solutions like Saviyent and SailPoint."
"The tool to develop the web portal needs improvement."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"There are too many different user interfaces. For example, one is the designer and another is the manager. There's also a web interface and an object browser. It would be helpful to consolidate all of those into a single administrator portal."
"A tool called Analyzer is included to assist with birthright generation. The tool isn't very user-friendly."
"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

"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 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."
"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
