What is our primary use case?
One Identity Manager serves as a robust and comprehensive identity governance and administration solution, providing centralized control over user identities, access rights, and compliance management across the organization.
I use One Identity Manager to manage user identity and access across multiple systems, which helps automate user provisioning and reduce manual work. The RBAC feature is very useful for controlling access and maintaining compliance, and the strong reporting and auditing features help during audits. However, the initial setup is somewhat complex and requires skilled resources.
Overall, it is a stable and reliable solution for identity and access management. In our organization, One Identity Manager automates the user lifecycle management process. Whenever a new employee joins, their account is automatically created in Active Directory and other connected systems based on their role. We have implemented role-based access control to ensure that they receive appropriate access depending on their department and job function, which reduces manual error and improves security.
What is most valuable?
The best features One Identity Manager offers include automated user lifecycle management, role-based access control, centralized identity management, strong audit and compliance support, integration with multiple systems, and AI-driven security and risk insight.
What needs improvement?
One Identity Manager sometimes generates false-positive policy violations, especially in a complex RBAC environment where multiple roles and inheritance rules apply. There are cases where it flags excessive or conflicting access, even though the access is valid based on the requirement, usually due to role overlaps or misconfigured policies.
One Identity Manager is a strong solution, but several areas require improvement. The initial setup and configuration are quite complex and time-consuming, especially for large environments, and the user interface could be improved to be more user-friendly. The current interface is difficult for new users to navigate, and troubleshooting issues such as synchronization or policy conflicts sometimes require deep technical knowledge.
Additionally, the system can generate false-positives in access violations, requiring manual tuning and validation. Performance could also be improved when handling large datasets or running heavy reports.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for five years and have been using One Identity Manager for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
One Identity Manager is stable in my experience. Our experience with One Identity Manager has been stable and reliable, performing well in daily operations such as user provisioning, synchronization, and access management. We have not faced any major downtime; however, issues can occasionally occur during heavy workloads or large synchronization jobs. Overall, with proper configuration and maintenance, the platform remains stable in an enterprise environment.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for One Identity Manager is generally good and responsive, providing quick responses for troubleshooting issues and resolving queries. For complex issues, response time can sometimes take longer, but the support team is knowledgeable and effective, with proper documentation and experienced resources, which helps in faster issue resolution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used a previous solution before One Identity Manager.
How was the initial setup?
One Identity Manager is a powerful solution for identity governance, especially in large enterprise environments, improving security by ensuring proper access control and reducing manual efforts. My environment consists of almost five thousand users using LDAP security. However, proper planning is very important before implementation since the initial setup and customization can be complex, so having skilled resources or vendor support is recommended. Once implemented correctly, it provides good stability, scalability, and long-term benefits for managing identities and compliance.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing One Identity Manager, we evaluated other solutions such as SailPoint Identity, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta. These solutions also provide strong identity features compared to One Identity Manager, but we selected One Identity Manager due to its strong customization capabilities, flexible integrations with multiple systems, and powerful on-premise support.
