One Identity Manager and One Identity Active Roles compete in the identity and access management space. One Identity Manager seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive features and automation capabilities, despite some deployment complexities.
Features: One Identity Manager offers advanced GUI reporting, logical database schema and table names, and comprehensive web customization. It provides out-of-the-box connectors for systems like SAP, LDAP, and Active Directory, and a customizable portal. One Identity Active Roles provides dynamic access control, extensive templates for delegation, and a simpler on-premises deployment model.
Room for Improvement: One Identity Manager could improve its job server performance, ease of integration, and user interface, and simplify documentation. One Identity Active Roles is limited by its lack of dynamic workflows, and it could benefit from enhanced change-tracking and better cloud database integration.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: One Identity Manager requires significant on-premises setup and a complex initial deployment, but it adapts well to cloud environments. Customer service is responsive but sometimes inconsistent. One Identity Active Roles offers simpler on-premises deployments but requires thoughtful handling of high-level support queries.
Pricing and ROI: One Identity Manager is competitively priced, offering high ROI with its automation features despite being on the higher side. Though One Identity Active Roles is considered expensive, its pricing models and access management automation contribute to improved employee productivity and a satisfactory ROI.
Without it, we would need thousands of additional people.
If you do not see it as purely an Identity Management tool but as a possibility to automate processes in the company, it provides a huge amount of value.
One Identity Manager saved us approximately thirty to forty percent in terms of time, money, and resources compared to our pre-deployment setup.
One Identity's support is great.
I rate customer service and support as a seven because, although they are helpful when needed, there can be delays in responding to tickets and finding necessary fixes.
If you have outages or critical production problems, you can count on the manufacturer to help resolve the situation.
If I raised a request while they were active, I received responses within an hour.
After submission, they contact the product team, which often takes one or two months to respond.
It is very beneficial for large and complex environments.
The solution is highly scalable, with a scalability rating of nine.
We could handle about 1,00,000 records for different users.
I would rate its scalability as strong since we have not experienced any significant challenges.
We are hosting it centrally in Switzerland.
I would rate the stability as a seven because there are sometimes performance issues, which require restarting the services.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
Specifically affecting the test and development environments, not the production environment.
One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality.
A way to connect to various directories and integrate with cloud directories would be beneficial.
Enhancements to the console are also necessary because it is more confusing than the web interface.
Creating an API accessible from the web.
This lack of 24-hour support is problematic from a testing and development standpoint.
It is crucial for them to expand their support team to match their product's success.
In terms of providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, One Identity is not yet there.
The pricing is high.
The pricing of One Identity Active Roles is expensive, but the return on investment justifies the cost, allowing for savings in other areas.
On-premises might incur higher costs.
We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it.
On-premises, it is cheap.
It is very intuitive and close to the native tools.
The most valuable features are the access templates, which allow for granular permissions, and the policies that provide a framework for usage and standardization across entities.
It is an easier way for me to manage Active Directory with more advanced features.
It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails.
It continuously monitors user behavior in real-time, triggering automated responses, and manages secure access for both on-premises and cloud applications using protocols such as SAML.
Once you have some experience, it demonstrates best practices and guides you on the correct way to use the tool.
One Identity Active Roles is a highly regarded solution for Active Directory (AD) security and account management. One Identity Active Roles will enhance group, account, and directory management while eradicating the need for manual processes. The end result is a significant increase in the overall speed, efficiency, and security of the organization.
Using One Identity Active Roles, users can:
Managing accounts in AD and Azure AD can be tremendously challenging; continually keeping these important systems safe and secure presents an even greater challenge. Traditional tools can be inefficient, error-prone, and very disjointed. In today’s robust marketplace, organizations are finding it somewhat difficult to keep pace with the constant access changes in a hybrid AD ecosystem. Additionally, there are significant security issues to consider (government compliance, employee status/access changes, and other confidential business requirements). And, of course, there is a requirement to properly manage Active Directory and Azure Active Directory access in addition to managing all the other numerous SaaS and non-Windows applications that organizations use today.
Users can easily automate all of these tedious, mundane administrative tasks, keeping their systems safe and error-free. Active Roles ensures users can perform their job responsibilities more effectively, more efficiently, and with minimal manual intervention. Active Roles was created with a flexible design, so organizations can easily scale to meet your organizational needs, today, tomorrow, and in the foreseeable future.
Reviews from Real Users
A PeerSpot user who is a Network Analyst at a government tells us, “It has eliminated admin tasks that were bogging down our IT department. Before we started using Active Roles, if one of our frontline staff members deleted a user or group, it could take several hours to try to reverse that mistake. Whereas now, the most our frontline staff can do is a deprovision, which just disables everything in the background, but it's still there. We can go in and have it back the way it was two minutes later. Instead of it taking two hours, it only takes two minutes.”
Becky P., Sr Business Analyst at George Washington University, shares, “In addition, with the use of workflows and the scheduled tasks, we were able to automate and centrally manage a number of the processes as well as utilize them to work around other product limitations. Those include, but are not limited to syncing larger groups, which have 50,000 plus members, to Azure AD. We sync up to Azure AD using ARS. If we had not already had ARS in place, it would have been impossible for us to have done so in the time period we did it in. We did it in under six months. ARS probably saves us at least two weeks out of every month. It's reduced our workload by 50 percent, easily.”
