Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement
I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

Offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface and makes customization a breeze
With centralized user management, data is effortlessly pulled from various systems like SOAR and HR, simplifying user creation and data maintenance. This allows for easy user editing, role assignment based on HR attributes or department affiliation, and streamlined account allocation based on review levels, departments, or the entire organizational structure. Our Access Control in One Identity Manager is 99 percent automated saving us nearly 100 percent of our time. One Identity Manager simplifies SAP administration by providing a centralized view of even logically disconnected SAP accounts. It offers a flexible helpdesk approach. We can either leverage its built-in model or create our own UI accessible to specific teams based on their applications. This ensures each team sees only relevant tickets for their area, streamlining access management for disconnected applications. One Identity Manager can connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. One Identity Manager simplifies Identity Governance and Administration for SAP, a complex system to manage in this regard. It empowers us to effectively manage SAP profiles, roles, and groups, ensuring their proper assignment to corresponding SAP accounts. The solution delivers SAP-specialized workflows and business logic. One Identity Manager integrates with its Privilege Access Management solution to provide more granular control. This means we can define different account types within One Identity Manager, such as normal, admin, and privileged accounts. By assigning privileged access only to designated accounts, we can restrict access and permissions and enhance overall security control. One Identity Manager offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface. It even provides a webshop for end users, allowing them to easily request new roles or accounts in various systems with a simple two-click process. Having the right resources makes customization a breeze. While understanding customer needs and translating them into technical specifications requires some processing upfront, One Identity's suite of tools simplifies the actual back-end work. From drag-and-drop interfaces for workflows and reports to scripting and C# coding supported by existing SDKs, customization options cater to all users. This dynamic application provisioning solution uses business roles to map our company's organizational structure. In other words, access to applications is determined solely by our assigned role within the company hierarchy. This role-based approach ensures users only receive the permissions they need based on their specific function, preventing unnecessary access. One Identity Manager streamlines our cloud governance by providing a centralized platform to manage user access permissions across all connected cloud applications. This eliminates the need for individual provisioning for each app, ensuring efficient authorization control. We have significantly improved our compliance posture with One Identity Manager. Previously, auditors identified numerous findings during manual audits, requiring extensive time and resources to address. With One Identity Manager, we've automated the onboarding, offboarding, and joiner processes, achieving a 95 percent closure rate on audit points. This centralized solution streamlines the auditor experience, allowing them to efficiently obtain information from the IAM team, saving both the organization and auditors valuable time. We have minimized inconsistencies in how our governance policies are applied across test, development, and production environments. One Identity Manager helps us create a privileged governance stance to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users by managing those accounts separately. This segregation prevents unauthorized access, as standard accounts cannot hold privileged rights and vice versa. This clear separation helps to close the security gap between these user types. One Identity Manager streamlines our procurement and licensing processes, allowing our initially large operations team to focus on more strategic tasks. By automating license management for connected applications like SAP and Azure Active Directory, the solution eliminates the risk of human error – forgotten access removals for unused licenses are a thing of the past. Now, licenses are automatically assigned and reclaimed based on user activity, ensuring efficient resource allocation. This means new hires receive immediate access, and vacated licenses become readily available, freeing the operations team from manual license management headaches. One Identity Manager streamlines application access decisions by automating the provisioning and de-provisioning of user access based on HR data. This eliminates manual intervention and delays for both HR and department personnel. When an employee changes departments, their access permissions are automatically updated in the identity management system, granting them the necessary tools to perform their new duties immediately. It also streamlines the automation of identity and access controls, making it easier to implement a zero-trust security model where every user and device is verified before granting access. While our audit processes were once cumbersome, requiring auditors to chase down reports from individual SAP administrators, everything is now centralized. One Identity Manager stores all application and database information in a single location, streamlining reconciliation efforts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"The self-service functionality of One Identity Manager is arguably the most valuable feature."
"One of the best features of One Identity Manager is its high level of customization."
"The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."
"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"The solution is flexible. You can customize it a lot. You can can build connectors, connecting them to a new application, and so on."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."
 

Cons

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"I also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"What is missing is a mobile user interface for the end-users so that they can do simple things on their mobile phones on the go. The time it takes to synchronize a large target system is often significant, often taking multiple hours."
"I would like One Identity Manager to offer an easier way for users to learn to use their new features."
"The framework is robust and flexible, allowing companies to easily adopt and extend the schema as needed."
"The support team could be improved on. The first level of support essentially looks up knowledge base articles and often can't provide the answer needed."
"It would be nice to have more functionality in terms of connecting SAP systems, provisioning user accounts through SAP systems, and provisioning additional attributes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"Its price is okay."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
