Amit Rathod - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Analyst - IDAM at Toll Holdings Limited
Unified sign-in has simplified access control and has supported end-to-end identity lifecycle
The authentication process is good, but sometimes the responsiveness to requests for enhancement is very slow. I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability. I experience downtimes two to three times per year. OneLogin's support team is sometimes very slow to respond. There is a feature limitation with mapping, as OneLogin does not provide one-to-all mapping. For client deployment, we need to create separate mappings for each request, and we cannot use the same mapping for multiple requests. Other areas that have room for improvement are related to API limitations. If a client requires more APIs, such as 5,000 or 6,000, OneLogin charges more. The API rate limits by default or the standard limit should provide more than 5,000. Additionally, OneLogin could provide more flexibility in configuration. These are the main limitations I have identified with OneLogin.

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users
To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneLogin is user-friendly, and any administrator can handle it easily."
"I feel that switching to OneLogin is a good move for us in terms of centralized access and identity management, and since we have transitioned to OneLogin, it has greatly reduced our manual work and offloaded much of our IT tasks."
"Ease of integration with AD."
"The solution helped save money for our organization, either by optimizing time-intensive processes or by increasing productivity."
"OneLogin has highly impacted our organization positively because it provides full customized control of user access and multi-factor authentication with great supported methods such as SMS OTP or email OTP, which are the key positive things we are getting from this solution."
"From a user perspective, with the right amount of training and documentation, OneLogin by One Identity provides a very seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating to needed applications."
"OneLogin is very effective in improving both security and operational efficiency."
"I trust that OneLogin actually values their customers and their ideas."
"Mostly from a product expert's point of view, it provides solutions for my clients."
"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."
"After the initial integration, the overall support calls dropped, and customer satisfaction for VPN increased."
"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."
"It is easy to use."
"The ease of integrating into an existing authentication system."
"The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance."
"Pricing was about 25% of the old solution, saving us about $500,000 over three years for 10,000 users."
 

Cons

"The one area for enhancement I can suggest is the initial setup, which requires considerable planning to execute the deployment."
"There are many downsides. OneLogin is designed for small businesses, not for big enterprises, which is why it has limited features."
"However, the initial custom integration could be simplified, as it is somewhat complex."
"OneLogin portal has been stable in the environment, but when users receive push notifications or single sign-on notifications, it may feel glitchy or experience frequent timeouts, which are affecting the overall experience."
"The areas for improvement in OneLogin include better analytics since we do not have very end-to-end visualization of user access logs."
"We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications."
"The initial setup could be more simplified; apart from this, everything is perfect and a very smooth solution."
"OneLogin could be improved with a more intuitive admin interface and simpler configuration for advanced integrations and policies."
"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor."
"There are some shortcomings on the reporting side, such as how many connections you can get per month."
"The reporting on the VIP Manager is not correct."
"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
"The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."
"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
"Geofencing needs improvement."
"Technical support is one of the worst problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"I can say that the solution is worth the money."
"There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."
"Licensing and pricing seems very fair."
"There are additional costs for maintenance."
