Offers a more comprehensive and streamlined view of user identities and access
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."
"One Identity is a complete solution that has everything we need."
"One Identity Manager provides a wide range of features that enable connection to numerous target systems."
"This is almost a complete solution for us."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is flexible and offers numerous connectors that enable us to serve as the core component of the system, as well as to construct our own connectors using the API."
"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."
 

Cons

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"They have bad support. Sometimes, they're fast, and sometimes not. They have 24-hour support, so when you message them, they try to fix their problems. One Identity can give you a technical engineer who can guide you through what to do or give you custom scripts for a problem."
"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."
"The policy and role management features are a bit hard to scale. The whole model for who can do what and how to set it up is not so well-governed for a larger organization. The demos are always shown for a 100 or a 1000 people, but when it is a large number, it is quite difficult to maintain."
"They could make the product more user-friendly. It takes a lot of work to build technical and business cases with the product. The solution is more complex than you think to use."
"We are trying to get rid stability issues from the legacy version. We are now implementing version 8.2, which is so much better than version 6."
"The solution should come up with a lighter version so people can buy different versions."
"The initial setup was quite complex because you run into some existing policies that the company already had. There was some trouble with some inconsequential policies."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"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."
"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."
"One Identity is cost-efficient from a licensing perspective. However, one drawback is that it's expensive on the hardware side for the customer to set up. One Identity's professional services team recommends various components. They lose some of the cost advantage because the hardware is expensive and requires maintenance."
"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."
