Featured Reviews

Neha Chhangani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In general, One Identity Manager can handle everything you can expect, and we haven't found anything we couldn't do."
"I like One Identity's reporting features and the single sign-in option. Users can skip multiple logins. It also gives us a centralized system that lets us know about a user's access. This is an automated process. If a user leaves the company, One Identity will ensure their application access will be removed after a certain date. When the user joins a company, it ensures all privileges are created and active by the start date."
"One Identity Manager helps achieve an identity-centric Zero Trust model."
"Among the most valuable features of One Identity Manager are administration from Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, as well as administration from Exchange. These features enable us to have fully automated processes to create new accounts and new mailboxes. The most valuable option is the ability to design an automated route to give our customers permissions."
"I rate One Identity nine out of 10 for stability. We haven't seen any downtime. It has worked smoothly since it went into production."
"We have been able to make our help desk self-sufficient by giving them role-based access, reduce service dependency by 40% to 50%, and save 60% to 70% of onboarding time because users are provisioned with the right access and are ready to go from day one."
"Since we started using One Identity Manager in my organization, we have seen operational efficiency gains, including faster onboarding and de-provisioning, help desk cost reduction, and improved compliance and audit efficiency."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
 

Cons

"While One Identity Manager works well for our on-prem setup, initial configuration and customization can be complex and time-consuming."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"The UI may need some improvement, but it's still great. GraphQL Cloud isn't quite visible yet to the end users, and they said there are some issues there because we have lots of users on board, so it takes time to reflect when the approval is going through and who they should contact to get it approved. The smoothness in that UI performance could be better."
"The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company."
"One Identity Manager could be improved by better prioritizing and processing bugs when tickets are submitted."
"One Identity Manager is a stable solution, although like any vendor bugs occur. It is frustrating there's no bug tracker available of known issues."
"The product must include SaaS in the future."
"The solution's intuitiveness requires almost a complete redesigning in terms of user experience."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is okay."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"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."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
