Identity Manager by One Identity Reviews

I used it in my last organization. We wanted to publish the applications present in the Oracle Database on the IAM portal. We used One Identity Manager to publish the apps on the portal so that end users could access product policies and workflows from this website. This included handling approvals, user workflows, SOD violations, SOX compliance, and other aspects.

We had users from Germany who wanted an SAP system accessible through One Identity. To integrate, we simply followed documentation from the SAP team and One Identity's website. 

One Identity Manager connects SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. For end users, logging into SAP systems is simplified as authentication is needed only once if SAP is linked with Active Directory accounts. 

We used the solution’s business roles to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning. For the Oracle EBS application, we used to have hundreds of business roles. A user used to get assigned roles automatically based on the team joined.

From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use. There is no need to follow extensive documentation; you just need to go through the process while raising a request. From a developer's point of view, self-practice is essential to grasp the necessary tasks, as initial use might be confusing. The first time, you have to use the documentation. Once you are familiar with concepts, it gets easy.

There are occasional issues with the UI or errors when servers are not up and running, often requiring a restart from cache memory and other related areas. For instance, I experienced delays while working in India. Canadian or US teams would restart systems in their morning, leading to wasted workdays for us, as we had to wait an additional four to six hours. This lack of 24-hour support is problematic from a testing and development standpoint.

I have used One Identity Manager from October 2021 to July 2024, totaling nearly two and a half years.

Servers occasionally malfunctioned at their site, necessitating restarts. This issue occurred approximately once or twice a month, specifically affecting the test and development environments, not the production environment.

The system is quite scalable. In my project, we used to handle 50,000 to 60,000 records of Active Directory. For SAP, we used to have around 40,000 records. We could handle about 1,00,000 records for different users. It also depends on the server being used for One Identity. We had an on-premise server, but we did not manage it. Another team managed it.

We used their regular support. If they were online, their response was prompt. If I raised a request while they were active, I received responses within an hour. If needed, I could connect with them over a meeting link. In such cases, support was swift.

I would rate them a nine out of ten. When they are online, they are good. The speed is quite fast.

The initial setup depends on the application. For SAP, LDAP, and other basic applications, it is relatively straightforward. However, more complex systems like Oracle Fusion can present challenges.

The maintenance was handled by One Identity.

While one person can handle the deployment, we typically engage two to three people. This allows for comprehensive planning, ensuring all necessary tasks are covered. If a single person is responsible, it is crucial for them to record the meeting to capture errors and share them with the team if needed.

From a developer's point of view, you can get used to it by doing some labs. If you are using it for the first time, you might not understand all the things that need to be done. Self-practice is a must for a developer.

It is important for users to do self-study, particularly in the test environment, before engaging with a project. There is a trial version available and possibly some videos, though not many. Users should focus on exploring features independently, such as how to sync users, use different tools, and manage mail templates, policies, and workflows. Much of this understanding depends on the user's initiative rather than external instruction.

Overall, from an IGA perspective, I would rate One Identity Manager an eight out of ten.

On-premises

My main use case for One Identity Manager is generally for identity governance, and my main work is monitoring automated workflows, including supporting access requests and approvals, collaborating with teams, and generating reports while ensuring compliance and security.

I generally use One Identity Manager for facilitating communication between the business and the technical team to help translate the identity governance requirements into a deliverable process within One Identity Manager and helping identify and resolve any discrepancies or exceptions in user access to maintain accurate and up-to-date permissions.

The best features One Identity Manager offers are the strong automation capabilities and centralized identity governance, as it automates user account provisioning and de-provisioning based on roles.

These features have increased my day-to-day work efficiency, as automating account creation and removal based on the role has significantly reduced the time and manual effort. Since I was promoted to use One Identity Manager in my intern position last month, it has definitely helped me, and it has also increased consistent governance on the centralized platform, reducing errors and ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations. Better collaboration has resulted from this implementation.

The detailed reporting and auditing capabilities of One Identity Manager are also very valuable for us.

One Identity Manager's governance and security features leverage AI to automate complex identity governance tasks such as access reviews, anomaly detection, and policy enforcement. It helps with manual oversight and human error, and improves threat detection.

One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization by enhancing operational efficiency. I have transitioned from being governed to now governing people. By automating user account provisioning and de-provisioning based on rules, it has directly reduced the time and manual effort.

One Identity Manager can be improved by simplifying the user interface, as sometimes the administrative screens feel a bit complex and less intuitive, especially for new users. Initial setup was a bit tough for me, and training resources must be better.

The documentation for One Identity Manager should be more clear and organized.

I feel a bit of lag sometimes while using One Identity Manager.

I have been using One Identity Manager for around two months only, so I cannot really specify any specific outcomes or metrics that show how operational efficiency improved.

One Identity Manager is pretty stable, as I have not seen any downtime.

One Identity Manager is pretty scalable.

We have not used the customer support for One Identity Manager till now.

My advice for others looking into using One Identity Manager is to definitely go for it, but make sure that your company provides good training before using this product because otherwise, you will get some issues. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for One Identity Manager is to track the life cycle. When a new employee comes to our organization, we add them on One Identity Manager. We get the complete life cycle, including whom the device is given to and what they are accessing. All of the information is retrieved through this product.

Onboarding is easy, and the rules to make for new employees, to change a rule, or to make a new rule are also easy. When an employee changes departments or we have hired new staff, it can be done easily.

If others want to maintain the life cycle and make the process easy, One Identity Manager is the product they should go for. I recommend giving it a hands-on evaluation for a proof of concept.

I think SOD is a good offering among the best features One Identity Manager offers. Scalability is good, and it can handle hundreds or thousands of identities across the globe, which is the best aspect I have found.

One Identity Manager has positively impacted my organization with a centralized dashboard and centralized rules for all branches and all departments. It helps to improve the time requirement for processes and also the visibility.

The UI can be improved. I think the UI can be easier.

The implementation cost is around four times the purchase cost, which significantly impacts the customer's budget. The pricing is good, but the setup cost is on the higher side and should be addressed.

Otherwise, I do not have any other improvements I would like to see in One Identity Manager.

I have been using One Identity Manager for one year, and my main use case is to track the life cycle.

One Identity Manager is stable.

One Identity Manager's scalability handles hundreds and thousands of employees.

This is the first solution we are using, and it was the only option we considered.

I have seen a return on investment with around twenty percent of the time saved to manage the users.

One Identity Manager is deployed on-premises in my organization. One Identity Manager saves time, and I am pleased with the product. I rate this review as a ten out of ten.

On-premises

We use this solution to enable a lifecycle for all the accounts we have in our Active Directory. One Identity Manager helps us enforce rules and renewal periods. It assists in tracking useless accounts to ensure that we do not retain people's accounts once they leave the company. We are extending the solution, highly customizing it to associate almost every object in our Active Directory with an identity. Every identity has a lifecycle and specific rules enforced by One Identity Manager.

The benefits are significant for us. We had no real central governance before implementing One Identity Manager. Being a large organization operating in 60 countries, it has helped us regain control over Active Directory. By enforcing rules, processes, workflows, and account lifecycles, it aids in cleaning our Active Directory and enforces strong workflows in user management.

One of the best features of One Identity Manager is its high level of customization. Since deployment, the solution has been tailored extensively to fit our specific needs. Its out-of-the-box capabilities are commendable, allowing for evolution and integration within an on-premise environment. For us, being able to customize the product to our requirements has been incredibly valuable, turning it almost into an in-house solution.

The new portal is in a specific technology that is more difficult to program. While it is a specific decision, the customization will become harder. A real SaaS solution could be provided rather than an on-premise product deployed on One Identity Cloud. Although we are not the target for this kind of improvement, a pure web-based SaaS solution could be beneficial for smaller companies.

The solution started deployment in 2018. My personal experience as a Functional Analyst with the solution is approximately two and a half years.

I was not part of the company during the initial deployment. However, it was relatively easy because it came out of the box. Upgrading is more challenging due to the extensive customizations we have, but this difficulty is more related to our use of the solution rather than the solution itself.

We have not experienced many issues with the tool itself. The problems we face are more related to our database consumption due to the high number of users. In terms of stability, I would rate it highly.

We have not needed to increase scalability much, and One Identity Manager supports a large number of users effectively. I would rate its scalability as strong since we have not experienced any significant challenges.

The technical support could be improved, particularly for architects with advanced knowledge. I have heard that the forums, moderated by One Identity experts, are helpful. Although sometimes support can take time, we have not raised any serious alerts about the quality of support from One Identity.

Neutral

We had no Identity Management solution before One Identity Manager. Compared to our previous situation, the solution provides significant benefits in terms of automation.

The initial setup was straightforward as the solution came out of the box.

We are working with a consulting company that provides specific support and resources for us, but they are not direct partners of One Identity.

One Identity Manager saved us approximately thirty to forty percent in terms of time, money, and resources compared to our pre-deployment setup. It significantly improved our control and management efficiency.

We have a global ELA, which means we do not have licensing issues. The price is correct and the relationship with the sales team is excellent. They are open to discussions whenever savings are needed.

I have no other experience besides Okta. Okta is more of an out-of-the-box solution with less customization opportunity, while One Identity Manager is a full product.

I would recommend One Identity Manager due to its customization capabilities. It allows you to adapt the solution to your specific needs. However, for smaller companies without high-level expertise, a pure SaaS solution may be less intimidating. I would rate One Identity Manager at a seven out of ten overall.

On-premises

We utilize One Identity Manager for several key processes. Primarily, it manages the entire employee lifecycle, including joiners, movers, and leavers, for identity management. Additionally, we use its attestation module to conduct bi-annual recertification campaigns, validating existing access rights. Recently, we expanded its use to manage cloud entitlements, including EntraID.

We manage user and access management  for over 20 SAP systems using One Identity Manager and do not handle any disconnected SAP accounts.

One Identity Manager governs SAP accounts by linking them to employee identities, ensuring access is managed throughout the identity life cycle. This direct link enables automated processes, such as terminating SAP accounts and associated assignments when an employee is terminated.

One Identity Manager, certified by SAP, delivers specialized workflows and business logic through a dedicated connector for SAP R3 and native support for HANA systems, enabling direct connection to HANA databases. It offers numerous out-of-the-box templates for SAP, automatically loading schemas for users, roles, and assignments upon SAP module activation. While most use cases are covered by these templates, customization is possible for specific needs.

With a tool like One Identity, our organization can manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution. This centralized data allows for flexible governance reporting, including custom SQL queries and pre-built reports, to validate information. Governance practices vary between companies but often involve specific access controls, timely re-certifications, and validations by data owners. For example, some companies implement frameworks with defined views, access levels, and re-certification processes to ensure data integrity and security.

The ease of customizing One Identity Manager depends on the user's skill set. Compared to three similar products, One Identity Manager is more straightforward to customize, particularly when modifying VB.NET code or writing SQL statements for reports. While some coding knowledge is necessary, the tool's predefined templates and SDK samples offer helpful references and starting points.

The user experience of the legacy web portal is unsatisfactory due to limited customization options and occasional slowness, especially during backend processes like attestation. However, One Identity is moving towards an Angular-based portal in version eight dot two and newer, which offers greater flexibility, customizability, and improved performance. This new portal may provide a more satisfactory user experience overall.

One Identity Manager helps manage the company structure for dynamic application provisioning. Our IAM system reads the company and department structures to automatically assign entitlements. Based on this structure, users are created, and permissions are assigned.

The business role functionality of One Identity Manager is crucial for businesses, especially from an audit and SOC perspective. Whether utilizing One Identity, SailPoint, or another tool, a solid IAM solution should include comprehensive audit trails, streamlined request processes, detailed approval workflow history, and other essential functionalities to ensure compliance and security.

We have begun extending governance with EntraID and are evaluating the Starling connector which provides access to many other SaaS-based applications.

Over the time we've used One Identity Manager since 2017, it has significantly improved our organization by automating the joiner, mover, and leaver process across all target systems. No more manual account management tasks are needed, which include account creation, updates, or termination when a user leaves the company. It has substantially reduced manual role assignments and made processes fully automated. The major benefit is the attestation process, conducted once or twice a year based on requirements, which ensures no unauthorized or unwanted accesses are left unchecked. It also provides clear reports on user statistics, such as active users, new joiners, and leavers.

We initially started with a small scope but have since expanded to connect numerous systems, automating the mobile egress process. Tasks like account creation, updates, and termination are now fully automated through IAM solutions, eliminating manual intervention. This automation also removes the need for teams to assign roles manually. A significant benefit is the ability to conduct periodic access attestation campaigns, ensuring only authorized users have access. One Identity Manager facilitates this process and provides comprehensive reporting, giving management clear visibility into user activity, including the number of active and inactive users, new hires, and departures.

One Identity Manager helps minimize governance gaps across our testing, development, and production environments. We utilize a three-tiered setup with a transport mechanism to move changes from the development environment to the quality assurance environment and finally to the production environment.

One Identity Manager enhances privileged governance to mitigate security risks associated with privileged users. A custom solution within the One Identity framework allows users to link multiple secondary identities to their primary identity for tasks requiring elevated privileges. This framework provides a robust privilege access management system within the One Identity environment.

One Identity Manager streamlines application access, compliance and auditing. It supports the SOX audit process conducted twice or thrice yearly. For applications connected to the One Identity Manager, governance is managed through the IAM solution itself. Instead of checking the target system, administrators use the One Identity Manager to validate requests, approvals, denials and assignment periods for connected applications.

One Identity Manager empowers application owners and business managers to make independent application governance decisions, eliminating the need for IT involvement and siloed teams. Once applications are onboarded to One Identity self-service model allows users to request roles and the defined approvers to approve them, streamlining the process and removing complexity for application owners. They no longer need dedicated teams for identity and access management or manual user access reviews for compliance requirements as One Identity Manager automates these functions. This simplifies operations and centralizes control, improving efficiency and reducing administrative burden.

Zero Trust is a broad security framework with varied implementations. Currently, our Zero Trust implementation focuses on identity and access management, specifically for privileged roles. To prevent unauthorized or accidental access, a three-stage approval process is required for privileged role requests. This ensures that multiple stakeholders validate the access, embodying the Zero Trust principle of never trust, always verify. While this is just one aspect of Zero Trust, it significantly enhances our security posture by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data.

Having worked with SailPoint and other identity management tools, I've found One Identity Manager to be quite handy, especially after seven years of experience with it. The framework is robust and flexible, allowing companies to easily adopt and extend the schema as needed. Unlike other tools I've used, One Identity Manager offers a high degree of customization. Even if the out-of-the-box templates or processes don't meet our company's specific requirements, we can readily adapt them, modify them, and build our own processes and templates.

The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface.

One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.

I have been using One Identity Manager for almost seven years.

One Identity Manager is stable, although there have been bugs. Sometimes product versions are released with many bugs, which affects stability. There is a need for extended support for regular versions, especially in large-scale environments where upgrades every two years are not feasible.

I would rate the stability of One Identity Manager eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of One Identity Manager nine out of ten.

We sometimes face delays in response from the technical support of One Identity. While we use premier support, the experience can be inconsistent, prompting us to sometimes engage technical and success managers for faster resolutions.

Neutral

We used SAP IDM before switching to One Identity Manager. The scope with SAP IDM was limited due to its inability to connect multiple systems except Active Directory and SAP system. We looked for a solution that provided greater flexibility in terms of cloud adoption and custom connectors, which SAP IDM did not offer at that time.

While the technical deployment of One Identity Manager can be completed in approximately one month, the true challenge lies in its organizational integration. Developing and connecting the system to existing infrastructure is a complex process that can take several months. Furthermore, ongoing maintenance and onboarding of new applications require continuous effort, making it an ongoing project rather than a one-time deployment.

We worked with a partner for customization but not for training. The partnership was effective, and we continue to engage with them for custom developments that are not handled in-house.

The return on investment was evident in the company's decision to automate processes using the One Identity Manager solution. Previously, separate application teams with dedicated personnel performed specific tasks, leading to higher costs and inefficiencies. With the implementation of the One Identity Manager tasks became automated, resulting in significant cost savings and streamlined processes.

One Identity Manager is fairly priced.

While we evaluated several solutions, we ultimately decided on One Identity Manager for its long-term benefits and flexibility compared to other tools.

I would rate One Identity Manager eight out of ten.

I would recommend One Identity Manager to companies, especially those that might lack prior expertise in identity management. Its predefined framework and comprehensive set of templates make it adaptable and easy to implement.

Our system is distributed across multiple locations globally, with various components and load balancers deployed in each location, including our disaster recovery sites. We have over 50,000 users.

One Identity Manager requires maintenance across its various components, including the tool itself, the database, the job server, and the web component. This maintenance ensures the environment remains operational and efficient. Maintenance requirements vary by component. For instance, web nodes undergo weekly restarts and cache clearing, job servers require service restarts, and other servers need periodic cache cleaning. Different elements have different maintenance schedules: weekly for some monthly for others, and weekly for the database. Overall, maintenance plans are tailored to the specific needs of each component.

On-premises

My main use case for One Identity Manager is to develop projects from the start that begin from the base installation, including employee lifecycle management such as Joiner Mover Leaver, attestation, access request, and integration with target applications such as databases and Safeguard. I also completed integration with Safeguard, HR systems such as SuccessFactors for cloud applications, and worked with Starling as well.

The integration with target applications is mainly for API applications that we configure with custom scripts to read from the APIs, then save the data either directly to the database or to CSV files. We then have a sync project to read from the CSV file so we can leverage more features from the sync project, including logs, simulation, mapping everything, and previewing the data that will be stored.

I believe the sync project is a great feature that allows us to preview everything before it gets stored in our database. There is also a feature that helped one of my teammates significantly, which was the limited process that could be triggered for job queue.

We use the sync project every day. The job queue is valuable when anything needs to run a process that would execute without a workflow closure or would run against a huge number of rows, which was very useful in some cases. For customers in the Middle East, they are requesting to have the portal in Arabic. One Identity Manager does not support Arabic yet in the web portal. In some cases, we have had to add the localization files ourselves and edit the entire Angular web views, which is a real challenge. The last version 10 does not support Arabic language for the web portal, and I think that would be very useful for the tool if it could be supported.

One Identity Manager impacts my organization positively. We use it for most of our customers that we configure the tool and install it for.

One of the improvements concerning One Identity Manager that I mentioned before is that we need to add the Arabic language for the web portal and APIs.

The Arabic language is the main thing that affects me directly with my customers right now.

I have been using One Identity Manager since day one.

I chose a rating of seven for One Identity Manager because I think it is related to performance. When we try to read a huge number of records, such as from SuccessFactors HR with the Starling connector, the sync project sometimes lags. This occurs even though it is not a huge number of employees—only 800 users. The sync project could take several seconds to open a single record, and the process itself takes a considerable amount of time to finish.

Regarding One Identity Manager support, I think they need to be more accountable. When I describe a technical issue and raise a case with it, they take several days to clarify things that are already clarified in the description I added to the case. When it comes to scheduling a session with support, it takes a long time. However, I think that should be the second solution because it really helps to have direct contact with support to share the screen and show everything from the inside of the environment, rather than just describing things in words.

Neutral

I think that implementers should take deep training from One Identity before they dive into it because there are a lot of features in One Identity Manager, but not all users or implementers know all the features that One Identity Manager is capable of. My overall rating for One Identity Manager is seven out of ten.

We use One Identity Manager for classic identity management tasks like provisioning and de-provisioning. It is employed for user requests and identity governance. It supports a comprehensive setup that includes user access, requesting functionalities, and identity governance measures.

One Identity Manager has improved our organization by providing a centralized identity management solution. It allows us to connect various systems like Active Directory, SAP, and cloud applications, offering a more comprehensive and streamlined view of user identities and access. 

As an administrator, I can see the benefits immediately on deployment because now I have a visualization. Compliance officers also see the benefits quickly. However, for the people I supervise, it's hard to adjust to the idea that everything you do is exposed. Application administrators aren't happy because I can see what they're doing. 

The stakeholders and senior leadership will see the impact only if the people below them can produce good reports. Many reports are out of the box, but you have to deploy them, and people must subscribe. The benefits are immediate for people who deal with the product daily. 

One Identity Manager helps minimize coverage gaps among test, dev, and production servers. The transport feature lets you move whatever you did in development into the test and production. Let's say you need to develop a new workflow in a developer environment. You can move every object related to that workflow to the test and, ultimately, to production. All of that is smooth and clean. 

One Identity helps you streamline application access if there is a policy. A policy can be implemented through the policy engine if a company has a policy. How can they do this without a policy? I won't decide who's supposed to access what for the company. Anything related to access controls starts with the policy and ends with the implementation. It's easy if the company has a policy. 

Application compliance is the same story. Someone has to define what it is. One Identity does not provide tons of compliance already implemented in the workflow. There's no preset for SaaS or HIPAA compliance. 

It can tell you who is a member of an AD group, but it doesn't tell you what application this AD group controls. This information is supposed to come from an application owner, who can say you need to be a member of a specific group to access this application. We can see what happens inside the application if it allows us to do that, but we cannot audit if that person has any business in the application.

One Identity Manager helps us achieve an identity-centric zero-trust model in conjunction with a combination of something like OneLogin or any other access management product. We can control what's happening, but we cannot apply it to the application layer until we have an access control product. 

One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable.

It's the best product for providing an enterprise view of logically disconnected SAP accounts. Sometimes, it's doing better than the SAP IG, which probably got discontinued or will be. One Identity Manager helps us connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. It is critical because there's no such thing as just SAP, and you want to centralize. You have Active Directory, SAP, and all the cloud applications. Every product has its user accounts, and One Identity allows you to connect them all in one place.

One Identity Manager provides IGA for the more difficult-to-manage aspects of SAP. It lets you do many different things and go as deep as you want. The solution has a whole library of specialized SAP workflows for provisioning. 

You can build a customized web interface that you can do whatever you want with. The out-of-the-box interface for administrators or anybody else can take a little time to understand. It depends on the user's maturity. You must understand what's happening before touching the product. If you have experience using Identity Manager or similar tools, it's highly intuitive. It has so many features that it takes time to adopt, but that's not because it's difficult. 

The business roles are fundamental to role-based access controls. If you don't know how to build roles, it's very hard to do. One of the advantages of this particular product is that you don't have to be a technical person to build the role. You can log in as a business owner with a newly created project and add entitlements, users, or criteria. You can do it manually or using a formula. It's easy to do without any code. 

The client application should transition to a web-based interface to improve administration flexibility. Improvements are also needed in the analytics, peer comparison, and recommendation features, as these areas were added later and require more development. More flexibility in the portal is needed for multi-tenant environments.

I have been using One Identity Manager since 2009, back when it had a different name, Active Entry. I've seen the product evolve over time.

One Identity Manager is a very stable product. The only potential issue could arise from database management, particularly with MS SQL clustering, but with competent support and management, this is not a problem.

One Identity Manager is highly scalable. Its ability to deploy agents across various locations and integrate seamlessly into multi-country operations ensures it can grow alongside business needs without issues.

I rate One Identity support nine out of 10. Premier support offers fast responses, which is critical for banking operations to minimize downtime. The professional and quick handling of issues adds significant value to the investment.

Positive

I have used Oracle, Fischer, SailPoint, Saviynt, and Omada. Omada is particularly notable for its governance capabilities, while Saviynt offers speed in implementation and support. SailPoint is dominant in the market, particularly for compliance capabilities.

If there is no existing database, you must install and configure SQL, which can be time-consuming. However, with a database, the installation is fast, taking about half an hour.

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.

Other solutions considered were Oracle, Fischer, SailPoint, Saviynt, and Omada. IBM was not used.

One Identity Manager is not for beginners due to its extensive functionality, so it requires prior experience or maturity in identity management to fully utilize its capabilities.

On-premises

My main use case for One Identity Manager is role management, automated onboarding, and off-boarding processes, which helps centralize user identity management.

When a user employee joins the organization, One Identity Manager helps automate the onboarding process by creating user accounts with automated user provisioning, managing role-based access, and reviewing permissions for managing user identities.

One additional aspect I appreciate about One Identity Manager is how it centralizes identity access management across different systems and simplifies compliance and audit activities by maintaining proper visibility.

One Identity Manager has positively impacted our organization by improving identity governance and automating user lifecycle management, along with enhancing security and compliance by providing better visibility into user access and role-based permissions.

The platform has improved visibility into user permissions and helped mitigate user access-related security risks by enforcing role-based access control and automated governance processes.

The best features One Identity Manager offers include role-based access control and access governance, strong integration with Active Directory, cloud, and enterprise applications, self-service access requests and approval workflows, risk analysis, and policy-based access control.

The self-service access request and approval workflows help my team day-to-day by identifying unusual user behavior through the identity threat detection feature, which reduces manual effort, improves monitoring, and helps maintain better security and compliance across the environment.

The AI-assisted reporting and identity threat detection feature in One Identity Manager helps simplify daily security and compliance tasks, and I wish there were more advanced features available.

I believe report customization and dashboard usability could be improved in One Identity Manager.

It would be helpful to have more simplified automation templates and faster synchronization for very large environments in future versions of One Identity Manager.

I have been using One Identity Manager since last year.

One Identity Manager is stable.

One Identity Manager is highly scalable and works well for medium and large enterprises; it supports hybrid environments and cloud integration, with a standout ability to manage complex onboarding.

The customer support for One Identity Manager is good.

I did not previously use a different solution before One Identity Manager.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for One Identity Manager has been generally positive; the initial licensing is flexible and usually depends on the number of user-managed identities and the modules or features being used.

From a security perspective, automated governance and role-based access control in One Identity Manager help reduce the risks of unauthorized access and orphan accounts, indicating a positive return on investment.

Before choosing One Identity Manager, I did not evaluate other options.

I would advise organizations considering One Identity Manager to first clearly understand their identity governance requirements, as well as their onboarding and off-boarding processes. I rate this product a 9.

Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Azure

My main use case for One Identity Manager is company-wide identity and access management and administration. I use One Identity Manager for company-wide identity and access management by implementing data-based automated creation of user accounts and access management.

From my point of view, the best features that One Identity Manager offers are its synchronization in the web portal. I find the standard connectors particularly helpful in the synchronization in the web portal.

One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company by minimizing manual effort. The minimization of manual effort has specifically affected my team by providing time savings, efficiency, and data integrity.

Since it is company-wide, an estimate of how much time my team saves with One Identity Manager is rather difficult, but it definitely has a very large impact.

From my point of view, One Identity Manager could still be improved with a cleanup of legacy. In terms of cleanup of legacy, I would like to see improvements to the form framework, among other things.

I have been using One Identity Manager for four years in the company.

In my experience, One Identity Manager is stable in day-to-day operation, and I would rate it eight out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of One Identity Manager as very high.

The customer service of One Identity Manager is something I would rate six out of ten.

Positive

I have not previously compared or used One Identity Manager with another solution.

Before deciding on One Identity Manager, I evaluated One Identity Active Roles, which was functionally limited to AD administration.

I would not like to add anything else about the features of One Identity Manager. My advice for others who are considering One Identity Manager is to definitely invest in training courses and watch One Identity Manager's YouTube channel online, as the product and this solution are very powerful.

I found this interview to be generally good, but there were some questions where the AI engine got stuck, and I think that could be improved for future conversations. I have rated this review with an overall rating of eight out of ten.

My main use case for One Identity Manager is to manage the lifecycle of all people, including internal, external, business partners, and external personnel. We are currently in further development and are connecting several applications automatically to One Identity Manager, which is our main use case.

The best features that One Identity Manager offers include relatively no limitations when it comes to connecting, and if there is ever no API interface, you can create one yourself and write it in.

By using my own solutions such as scripts or email integrations, I can give an example of how I use this flexibility in everyday work. Currently, for an application called Fluency Direct, a custom PowerShell script was created for the automatic creation and setup of users and assignment of groups within Fluency Direct.

One Identity Manager has positively impacted my company through cost reduction and less effort in the individual departments for the technicians who used to manually create users in Active Directory, which now all happens automatically.

One Identity Manager could be improved by better prioritizing and processing bugs when tickets are submitted.

I have been using One Identity Manager for just under three years, as we set up the system almost three years ago.

One Identity Manager is stable in operation.

My experience with the scalability of One Identity Manager has been good.

One Identity Manager's customer support could be a bit faster, but otherwise it is acceptable.

Positive

I did not use another solution before One Identity Manager. I have only been working here for three years, and One Identity Manager has existed since I have been here.

Before deciding on One Identity Manager, I did not evaluate other solutions. One Identity Manager was already in place when I arrived and was then newly set up by us.

I would rate One Identity Manager an eight on a scale of one to ten. I chose an eight because it is very good, but there is still potential in small areas such as the usability itself for the admin within the interface. I find that everything is still not quite clear enough, especially with one or two things in Manager and Designer. You do not always quickly know where you have to click when you are looking for something, and you sometimes search a bit longer.

My advice to others who are considering One Identity Manager for themselves is to definitely hire people who have the skills and can quickly get to grips with an application that is relatively complex. My overall rating for this product is eight out of ten.
