Enhanced security and simplicity in deployment for a holistic protection

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment. You only need to purchase and assign licenses to users, and there's no need for extensive setup. Another valuable feature is its integration with Google Workspace, which enhances security through context-aware access and allows for geographic and IP-specific restrictions. This ensures secure access to applications and data.

Staff and students can now reset their passwords using their enrolled two-factor device as the authentication mechanism

We've been a OneLogin customer for several years now. While I like the platform, there have been some challenges. A great example is the amount of work needed with that webhook for the enrollment user experience. This functionality is native to some competing products. That's one area where we've leaned on our account rep over the years. They shouldn't rely on the customer to make this experience better. This is one feature request that hasn't been implemented yet. At the same time, they've implemented other features we've requested. One is the ability to use a personal email address as a factor. Initially, they didn't have that. We pushed hard on our account team for about two years before it was finally released. It's a give-and-take. Some of the product's features aren't perfect, but we've had some success pushing fixes to the development team that needs to happen. They've done a decent job. However, there are some fixes that they don't have an interest in. A lot of what I described was before OneLogin was acquired by Quest/One Identity. Things have changed. It doesn't feel like they're driving the product as OneLogin was. It may be because it's a new product to them, and they're still trying to get the lay of the land, process feature requests, etc., but it's not moving as fast as before. 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 issues have high visibility. It's gotten better, but it's still there. It raises questions about whether One Identity can support the platform they've acquired. How are they enhancing the product? And how are they supporting the product and the service in the future? Those are two essential questions. There are also lots of nice-to-haves, but that's the case with any product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."

"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."

"The most valuable feature is the performance."

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."

"I have not experienced any serious problem with stability."

"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."

"Although we have not looked at the whole product and explored it completely, we find that all the authentication features that we are using now are valuable."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management."

"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."

"When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop."

"Documentation."

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."

"OneLogin is efficient."

Cons

"The customer service and support team is not so good."

"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."

"Technical support is slow."

"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."

"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."

"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."

"I would like to see more integration in future releases."

"The interface could be more user-friendly."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."

"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."

"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."

"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."

"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not expensive."

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."

"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."

"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."

"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."

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
