Featured Reviews

Ben Ruset - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes
During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Easy to use but requires improvements in the area of stability
In my company, we have worked on authorization, and I know that there are different types of grants. We have worked on the authorization code, client credentials, and ROPC grant. There are two types of tokens, like the JWT token and internally managed reference tokens. JWT tokens are useful for finding information related to the claim requests. Internally managed reference tokens are useful for dealing with visual data and information. For the clients to fit the user information, they need to do additional work to fit all the user info into the site, which is to define and validate the token issue and provide the request for VPNs. I worked on the key differences between the authorization code and implicit grant. In the authorization code type, you will have the authorization code issued initially to the client, and the client has to exchange it with the authorization server, like using a DAC channel to get the access token. In implicit grants, tokens are issued right away if the application is a single-page application. We can either use the authorization code or an implicit grant.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time."
"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."
"Ease of integration with AD."
"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."
"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."
"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."
"OneLogin is efficient."
"I like PingFederate."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"It is a very stable solution."
 

Cons

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
"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."
"The tool must be made more robust."
"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."
"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 uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
