One Identity Manager Reviews

We use One Identity Manager for access control and identity management. It is the central repository for all our organization's users. It has all the access control points, role-based access control, security policies, single sign-on, password management, and privilege access management for all the stuff we did.

It's pulling the public Azure access, so we can identify who has the right level of access. And we have the SODs, the artifacts, and the scoring server. It helps us identify customers with that public access and whether it should be removed or managed by the owners.

It helps automate provisioning and launching application accounts. It will also investigate compliance issues. We already have some custom reports, and Identity Manager's built-in reports are quite helpful.

The solution empowers application owners or business managers to make application governance decisions by themselves without IT help. It has a lot of features that allow you to configure that.

One Identity Manager is more scalable and customizable than other products I have worked on, and user customization isn't as complicated. Defender, One Identity's PAM solution, is useful for rotating passwords in the developer's evolving facilities. 

Customizing the UI and backend is easy if you understand the framework. It may take some time to learn, but it's not too difficult once you have it down. Business roles are a handy tool from One Identity that we can map multiple accesses in a single bundle and provide it to the users. You can also provide birthright access to this, so they don't need to request it once onboarded. We can assign them access based on a particular department or a job role.

The out-of-scope connection for the cloud data applications could be better. We have to contact the data on the connection center if it's coming out of the process.

The UI may need some improvement, but it's still great. GraphQL Cloud isn't quite visible yet to the end users, and they said there are some issues there because we have lots of users on board, so it takes time to reflect when the approval is going through and who they should contact to get it approved. The smoothness in that UI performance could be better.

I have used One Identity Manager for four years.

I rate One Identity support eight out of 10. We customized the system a lot when we were using a system. We had dedicated support from the vendor on the data side. They were for within the SLA time.

Positive

I rate One Identity Manager nine out of 10. 

I use One Identity Manager for all the IAM capabilities in my day-to-day use cases, such as Identity and Access Management.

When initially implemented, One Identity Manager comes with basic modules, but additional ones can be added to encompass data governance, complaints, audits, and more within a single platform. Many organizations limit its use to identity and access management processes, but its potential extends far beyond this, offering broader application and management opportunities. Ultimately, the system's effectiveness depends on how it is managed and implemented within an organization.

From a non-technical perspective, there isn't much customization we could do on the portal apart from seeing whatever our IT admins have given us access to. However, One Identity Manager can be customized heavily on the back end. Customizations are easy because they have a lot of documentation. They have provided extensive documentation. But at times, following the documentation can be a bit difficult. It can help you. For example, if we know the product, we can easily manage everything.

One Identity Manager maps out company structure through its business role feature, which offers dynamic role-sensing capabilities. Unlike other tools, it allows for assigning approvers and managers to business roles, effectively managing multiple access modules under a single umbrella. This functionality is useful for achieving least privileged and role-based access metrics, making it a valuable asset in various use cases.

We have some integration with cloud apps, and One Identity Manager recently introduced Starling Connect, offering several out-of-the-box features. However, current functionalities are limited, so significant customization might require exploring additional API endpoints. The available attributes and tools are sufficient for basic cloud management tasks.

The benefits of implementing One Identity Manager would be immediate as its out-of-the-box configurations can be enabled right away. However, realizing these benefits might take longer if the enterprise requires end-user customizations. In essence, the speed of reaping the advantages depends on whether we utilize the tool's standard features or need to tailor it to specific organizational needs.

One Identity Manager effectively reduces governance coverage gaps across production servers by offering a comprehensive suite of governance-related capabilities. Its built-in transporter tool facilitates seamless migration of changes between environments, eliminating the need for manual configuration or reliance on third-party solutions. Unlike other tools that may require custom integrations or external dependencies, One Identity Manager provides a complete, out-of-the-box solution for managing environment transitions.

One Identity Manager can help establish a privileged governance framework to bridge the security gap between privileged and standard users. The specific capabilities depend on the enabled modules. The privileged access governance module offers advanced features like risk indexing and out-of-the-box support for identifying high-risk identities based on configurable rules or violations. Even without this module, the platform provides customization options for managing privileged users and includes basic risk assessment functionalities.

One Identity Manager can assist in consolidating procurement and licensing, but the extent of its capabilities depends on the target system being managed. While it offers licensing management features for SAP systems, including the ability to fill in gaps, managing licensing for other products requires customizations utilizing Active Directory or Azure Active Directory groups. In these cases, the process differs from the integrated licensing management available for SAP within the One Identity Manager platform.

One Identity Manager simplifies application access decisions by consolidating all entitlements for any integrated system into a single product within the IT department. This unified platform enables efficient access requests, approvals, and multi-level approval workflows, with customization options to manage application entitlements according to specific needs. Additionally, the system's rules can merge multiple access entitlements into a single request, which can be submitted through the front-end portal.

One Identity Manager's ability to streamline application compliance varies depending on the integrated application. Out-of-the-box applications offer built-in compliance capabilities, but third-party tools or custom solutions may be required for those without pre-built connectors. However, compliance functionalities are available for all out-of-the-box target systems.

While One Identity Manager cannot perform a full application audit, it can assess access entitlements and identities within the application.

One Identity Manager empowers application owners and line-of-business managers to make application governance decisions independently from IT. With appropriate permissions, these managers can establish business roles, assign applications and items, and create corresponding system roles accessible to other organizational users. While this capability exists, most organizations avoid this approach due to the potential for invalidating business roles without proper verification.

Achieving a zero-trust model with One Identity Manager is feasible but heavily reliant on the policies configured within the system. We can effectively establish a zero-trust environment with carefully crafted policies and conditions. However, limiting the tool's use to provisioning, de-provisioning, and data manipulation processes restricts its potential. By fully exploring and leveraging One Identity Manager's capabilities, we can significantly enhance our ability to implement a robust zero-trust model.

From a technical perspective, One Identity Manager's greatest strength lies in its extensive customization options. The platform offers a wealth of functionalities and flexibility, allowing us to tailor solutions to meet our organization's specific needs without limitations. This unparalleled adaptability is One Identity Manager's most significant advantage.

The end-user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making finding information within the portal simple. However, extensive customization can complicate management. From a technical standpoint, the backend is more complex due to managing multiple client tools for various One Identity Manager modules. While these tools interact, their number can overwhelm new users, hindering their ability to effectively understand and utilize the system. The front end is user-friendly, but the back end presents significant challenges.

One Identity Manager is a complex tool with multiple components and a convoluted backend. Its various clients for managing different tasks can confuse IT and non-IT users. Simplifying the tool and streamlining processes would be beneficial. Additionally, while the out-of-the-box connectors are helpful, incomplete support for certain objects hinders efficiency. Providing full support for all objects would enhance the tool's usability.

I have been using One Identity Manager for almost four years.

We haven't encountered significant stability issues. If we follow the provided documentation, we should not experience multiple problems, and a clean environment is crucial for proper configuration. However, mismanagement of processes or queues can lead to crashes. Ultimately, system stability depends on environment management, deployment, and configuration within the system.

It is highly scalable, supporting both vertical and horizontal scaling. Deployment on orchestration platforms like Kubernetes simplifies management, especially with the right team and capabilities. Kubernetes environments offer significantly easier scaling compared to other solutions.

I have experience with Microsoft Identity Manager, Entra ID, and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. While Microsoft Entra ID and SailPoint are relatively straightforward to manage with uncomplicated backends and easy-to-implement features, One Identity Manager is more complex. Due to its multifaceted functionalities, new users or organizations lacking a deep product understanding might need to reinstall the entire application to enable specific modules. Consequently, many only utilize its basic features instead of fully exploiting its capabilities. In contrast, SailPoint and Microsoft Identity Manager offer simpler installations and SailPoint offers broader compatibility beyond Windows, making it more adaptable to different environments than One Identity Manager.

Product knowledge significantly simplifies One Identity Manager deployment. However, the extensive documentation can pose challenges for newcomers unfamiliar with the product. Unlike concise, step-by-step guides, the current documentation requires navigating a complex structure, potentially leading to confusion. Implementing prerequisite checks and other validations will be necessary to successfully deploy the system, making it a demanding task for those new to One Identity Manager.

In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control. While a community exists, support can still be challenging. Furthermore, the product is relatively expensive compared to alternatives. Certification costs are also notably higher, requiring mandatory five to six-day training sessions and exams only offered to groups of 15 to 20 people. This contrasts with other products, such as SailPoint, which offer standalone exams for certification seekers.

I would rate One Identity Manager eight out of ten.

Due to its heavy customization, One Identity Manager requires ongoing maintenance, which necessitates a dedicated resource for complete system upkeep. Moreover, significant data inconsistencies within integrated systems can render data management within One Identity Manager a demanding task. Consequently, maintenance is not solely product-specific but primarily data—and process-dependent.

We use the solution for the management of identity and access identity, mostly for our employees.

It really helps in application access decisions, application compliance, and application auditing. That is what we mainly use it for: to have governance and compliance.

The solution has helped application owners make application governance decisions without IT. That's how we configured it. That has been a positive effect.

There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow.

For the governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, it's really strong. It's really good, a 10 out of 10.

We also make use of its business roles to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning. That aspect is super important.

It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor.

A second problem is the visibility in the search functionality. You don't have flexible search capabilities when you look for either roles or users. You cannot use multiple attributes. The search fields are very limited and that definitely needs improvement.

Also, the interface is really old. From that perspective, it's a six out of 10.

Another issue is that it is really difficult to customize it to our needs. If "10" is super-difficult, I would rate the customization at eight. When it comes to the options, it is super flexible. From that perspective, it is really strong.

I have been using One Identity Manager for almost two years.

It's a stable solution.

So far, it has been scalable when it comes to connecting new systems. When it comes to the performance of the tool, as I mentioned, if you want to have multiple users using it at the same time, it really lacks scalability.

We currently have around 60,000 users of the solution.

I believe we use Premier Support. To be perfectly honest, we were not very happy about Premier Support, and it was escalated.

The answer we usually get is that something will be fixed in the next release, or the release after that. Sometimes they help, but most of the problems are not solved.

Neutral

We had a previous solution, RSA, previously known as Aveksa, but it was not scalable enough for our needs, and it had internal bugs and problems.

We upgraded to One Identity mainly for the connectors. Because of the performance, we're struggling a little bit with One Identity. Other than that, it gives us what we need.

Taking into account our requirements, the deployment had to be complex because we're a complex organization. In general, we have one central solution that is delivered to the entire organization. We operate in a tenant model where particular entities can manage their scopes of applications and roles.

We were super-fast in the deployment. It took us about one and a half years. But we migrated the previous solution into One Identity, so we had already built most of the structures. We also had the connectors and definitions.

We had 10 to 14 people involved.

There is a lot of maintenance, including patching, upgrading versions, implementing improvements, and building new functionalities. It includes the whole life cycle.

I don't have access to how much we pay for licenses. That usually depends on how the company negotiates. But I believe the pricing is fair.

We recently started connecting One Identity Manager to SAP. I'm not an expert on SAP, but it's not the main system that we're interested in. One Identity Manager connects SAP accounts to employees' identities under governance, but it's just in one of the countries where we operate, and it's not even the biggest one that is using SAP. It's critical for them, but our entire company is not based on SAP.

If you configure One Identity Manager and use it properly, it helps minimize holes in data coverage for test, dev, and production servers. But it usually depends on the coverage.

In terms of Zero Trust, that requires a lot of more things, not only One Identity Manager, and we don't use other products from them.

The performance problems are a pain point, but if I compare it to not having the solution in place, it really has a positive impact. One Identity Manager really can help you, but compared to our previous process, because of the performance issues, it is actually a little down from what we had before.

Overall, I would definitely recommend One Identity Manager because we were struggling previously with our other solution, which was a little bit worse.

Its main purpose is identity management. It is an IGA tool. The organization where I am currently working is mainly using One Identity Manager for identity management and access control. We are also using it for various types of provisioning such as Azure AD, Exchange Online, or SAP account creations. When we talk about identity management, we also consider the various access recertifications. All those are being carried out as part of One Identity Manager.

It streamlines operations. Whatever you put in from an identity management perspective, access governance perspective, compliance perspective, or application perspective gets very easily streamlined. You can easily integrate multiple applications because it provides the inbuilt features or the default connectors. You do not have to know how cloud applications or other applications work. One Identity is doing everything. They provide custom connectors. You just get the details of a cloud application and then connect. One Identity by default will manage the things for you. They have inbuilt features, so you just have to study and implement them. In my last organization where I implemented One Identity, we integrated almost 12 SAP applications. It was easy. Once you define the framework, then implementation is very easy. Implementing multiple applications, managing users, and the entire JML lifecycle is streamlined.

We use One Identity Manager to help manage SAP. One Identity provides a connector for SAP. From an enterprise solution perspective, it can be implemented very safely. I have done multiple SAP implementations with One Identity. It provides all the inbuilt functions and everything related to SAP. It is a very good tool to implement SAP for an enterprise. If an employee has multiple SAP accounts or multiple SAP systems, One Identity provides a singular feature where you can have all the SAP accounts listed under an employee. From a management perspective, it can be easily managed. It is very good. It provides a unified view of all the accounts and various systems of SAP. Everything such as the SAP rules, groups, profiles, and access policies can be managed via One Identity, but I am not sure if workflows can also be managed.

One Identity is a complete and wholesome tool for managing any enterprise application. It provides a unified platform to manage everything. When you implement One Identity, you have all the features needed within an enterprise to manage various applications, such as SAP, Active Directory, Exchange Online, etc. From an enterprise perspective, it is wholesome and unified, and it supports everything. It supports the SaaS features, PaaS features, and cloud features.

We use business roles to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning. Normally, when any employee gets onboarded, they need access to certain company resources. You can assign any company resources to any business role, and you can assign that business role to an employee. That employee automatically gets access to the company resources. It is an important feature, and most organizations use the business roles part very frequently.

We are able to extend governance to cloud apps by using One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage among test, dev, and production servers. For the test environment and the production environment, you have a streamlined approach. The process of transporting from dev to production with One Identity is very smooth. It also provides a transporter tool or feature. You can just pull out the production configurations and put them in a lower environment. It just makes it as similar as production. In that way, the difference in the environments can be minimized. The configurations can be made similar. You do not have to pull the relevant production data. You cannot put it in a lower environment. From this perspective, it streamlines the environment and fills the gap.

It streamlines the application access decisions, application compliance, and application auditing aspects of application governance. It provides various compliance-related features and auditing features. They are inbuilt and very helpful for compliance and audits.

It provides various views. Employees have their own portal for requesting roles or accessing their profiles to see what type of access they have. Similarly, owners have a unified view within the portal for multiple roles, groups, or any resources. They have separate views. They can easily manage things. The views are well segregated within One Identity. There is the product owner's view, the manager's view, the employee's view, and the system administrator's view. There is also the business role owner's view and the call center's owner's view. Everything is well segregated.

There are various tools available in the market. The best part of One Identity Manager is that it provides wholesome features. Most of the things required for identity management are given out of the box in One Identity Manager. You can just define your use cases, take this tool, and right away implement the solution. The default features and the default setup are already embedded or built into One Identity Manager. That is what provides One Identity Manager an advantage over other tools where we have to customize things, whereas, in One Identity Manager, most of the things can be done out of the box. On top of that, if something needs to be customized, that can also be done in One Identity Manager. The inbuilt functions or features that One Identity Manager provides for identity management are very good.

I have been working on it for the last six years. It is very good from the user experience perspective.

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. This is the only thing. There are some gaps in that, but One Identity is trying to bridge those gaps.

I have been working with One Identity Manager since 2018. It has been around six years.

It is a very stable tool. There is about 80% stability.

It is scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability.

In my project, we have around 23 people using it.

We just take the normal support whenever we have any issues. For the premium support, you have to pay a lot.

The support from One Identity is very good. Whenever you reach out to them, they help you out. If you have a license, they have a technical support team. They also have a professional services team if you need any professional support. From the customer service perspective, they are pretty good. You can reach out to them anytime. That is a very flexible option they have.

In terms of documentation, they have everything. They have all the technical documentation and all the details. They also have a user forum where you can post your queries. It is a global forum where experts reply within an hour or two, which is very good. You can reach out to these experts, and they will help you out. The user experience is very good with One Identity.

Positive

In the current organization, we have had One Identity from the very beginning, but I have worked with other products. One Identity is far better than them. Pricing-wise, One Identity is more costly than others, but in terms of features, One Identity provides many features by default. It was not available in other tools. We have to do everything from scratch, whereas you do not have to do that in One Identity.

It is deployed on the cloud. If you want to install One Identity from the very beginning for the cloud application, it will hardly take three months. It can also be done before that. For a huge client, it takes time. For a small client, it can be implemented within two months.

It does require maintenance. From time to time, they have upgrades. They have long-term releases year after year, so it has to be updated. Sometimes, they do a cumulative update to fix many issues.

For upgrades, I am the only one, but when it comes to implementation, we have multiple teams. We have four to five members actively working, and then there are supporting resources.

It has saved us about 30% of the time.

It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools.

I would definitely recommend implementing One Identity, but you have to understand how One Identity works and how it has been developed. You will be able to easily implement it then.

One Identity is a unified solution, and most of the features are inbuilt. Before you make any customizations, you need to understand how One Identity works. That is a critical bit. Normally, developers have a development mindset. They do not think from the framework perspective, but One Identity has been implemented from a framework perspective. They have designed this solution keeping in mind the needs of enterprises and how enterprises manage their accounts, employees, and applications. You should look at it from the framework perspective and not the customization perspective. However, even if you have to make any customization, it is very easy. You just have to learn .Net and MS SQL. If you understand how One Identity works, implementation and customization are very easy.

Overall, I would rate One Identity Manager an eight out of ten. 

I have implemented One Identity Manager in banking for research access and education for onboarding diverse users, managing identity lifecycles, and automating processes like account activation and provisioning. It is crucial for securing and streamlining identity management in both sectors.

One Identity Manager has enabled us to implement an Identity-centric zero-trust model, enhancing our access management system. This has strengthened security by granting users precise and necessary access, contributing to a more robust and secure environment for our company.

The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool. This tool allows me to write custom code and provides flexibility to customize and adapt the system to meet specific business objectives.

There is some room for improvement with One Identity Manager. The Metamodel is not developer-friendly, and the web designer customization could be simplified. The report editor tool needs an update as its underlying technology is outdated. Additionally, a stronger community portal for quicker support responses would be beneficial.

I have been working with One Identity Manager for eight years.

I would rate the stability of One Identity Manager as a ten out of ten.

One Identity Manager is suitable for handling up to around five million records, but scalability becomes a challenge with larger datasets, such as over seven million people.

The biggest value of having premium tech support with One Identity Manager is the quick and efficient resolution of issues. However, there have been instances where the support response time could be improved. Overall, I would rate the support as a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup of One Identity Manager was not overly complex, and the documentation could be more user-friendly with additional visuals. We took the help of a consultant during deployment, involving five people. Maintenance is handled in-house as it is an on-premise solution.

One Identity Manager is affordable.

I appreciate that One Identity Manager is a suite with separate tools for managing and governing users, data, and privileged accounts. I find it beneficial that they have organized functionalities into distinct tools rather than consolidating everything into a single screen.

The user interface of One Identity Manager is intuitive for script writing and configuration, offering flexibility and a clear view of user attributes. However, the web application tool for end-user requests and the reporting tool is less user-friendly, especially for the web designer, which can be complex and not developer-friendly.

I use One Identity Manager to extend governance to cloud apps. This is crucial as cloud migration is widespread, and it is important to seamlessly onboard users and ensure governance on these cloud applications, aligning with the industry trend towards cloud adoption.

Using One Identity Manager, specifically the Safeguard tool, has helped me establish a privileged governance stance to bridge the gaps between privileged users and standard users. It provides a distinct solution for managing both types of users effectively.

One Identity Manager assists in streamlining application access decisions, ensuring application compliance, and conducting thorough application auditing.

One Identity Manager has empowered application owners and line-of-business managers to take charge of application governance decisions independently. The platform provides user-friendly tools, reducing the dependency on the IT team for these processes.

My advice to others is that before purchasing One Identity Manager, assess if it fits your use cases, especially considering the size of your user base. Ensure you have a skilled IT team for maintenance. Engage with the One Identity Manager team, conduct a proof of concept, and validate its suitability for your needs. Overall, I would rate One Identity Manager as a nine out of ten.

We utilize One Identity Manager for user identity access management and troubleshooting, all founded upon dynamic roles.

I appreciate One Identity Manager as a comprehensive platform for enterprise-level administration. Its centralized approach to identity management eliminates the need to search for or connect to multiple products simultaneously, allowing for efficient and streamlined management of various aspects of identity administration. For instance, while products like Active Roles within One Identity can manage roles, I believe One Identity Manager provides a more cohesive and integrated solution, offering a central hub for all identity-related tasks.

The One Identity Manager is generally intuitive for most users, allowing quick access to all features.

The benefits are almost immediate. Everything we see in the program, the interface, and other tools happens online. With One Identity Manager, we can monitor and manage everything almost instantly in near real-time.

It streamlines application access decisions and application compliance.

One Identity Manager has streamlined our application auditing process. It is an invaluable tool, particularly during implementations or complex projects. Its visual interface and quick user search functionality are indispensable when dealing with real-world scenarios. Although we sometimes utilize other One Identity tools, Manager remains our go-to for the most detailed information. The Manager instantly reflects on any changes, ensuring up-to-date and accurate data.

It empowers application owners and line-of-business managers to make informed governance decisions without IT involvement. As a former identity access management consultant, I found this tool invaluable for helping clients centralize and streamline the management of their applications.

One Identity Manager assists in implementing an identity-centric zero-trust model. This approach, which emphasizes the importance of identity verification, was a cornerstone of my DevOps team's security practices. Zero-trust is crucial because it prevents unauthorized access, even when changes to the application are visible. In such scenarios, trusting no one is essential, as any individual, including threat analysts, system administrators, or consultants, could make modifications. An identity-centric zero-trust model empowers employers to monitor all changes their employees make, ensuring precise accountability.

I greatly appreciate the initial approach provided by One Identity Manager. It's beneficial because we can easily view nearly all the information about our users without extensive searching. Access to users and groups is rapid. For instance, if a user has standard connections, such as Active Directory, LDAP, or SAP integrations, we can readily access information based on their identity. This is a fantastic feature.

The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation. The web portal, for instance, can be confusing at times, with buttons and steps not always clearly defined. This can hinder efficient task completion. The portal should include quick guides to assist users, as the descriptions can sometimes be challenging to understand.

I used several cases to ensure consistent governance across test, development, and production servers. While this approach is common with transports and other tools, it's less familiar in One Identity Manager. I found the One Identity Designer more suitable for this task. Therefore, One Identity Manager is not optimal for achieving this goal.

I have been using One Identity Manager for almost seven months.

We experienced stability problems due to One Identity's version updates, which often need more detailed information about changes on their portal. This has forced us to roll back versions multiple times, resulting in service disruptions that lasted up to five hours.

One of the most important aspects of One Identity Manager is its scalability, allowing us to efficiently manage all of our applications in a centralized location.

I have used SailPoint and ForgeRock by Ping Identity. While SailPoint is similar to One Identity Manager, it offers a better approach to both the front and back end. Its overall design is notably more effective.

The initial deployment of One Identity Manager was challenging due to the tight three-day deadline imposed by my company. To ensure a successful implementation, I needed a solid foundational understanding of the system, which proved complex given the intricate schemas involved. These schemas, underlying the One Identity interface, connect to massive tables, making the SQL approach behind them more reliant on a traditional schema structure. One Identity's proprietary schema, however, presents a significant learning curve. Without adequate mentorship or guidance, navigating this complexity could be daunting. A thorough understanding of how the various tables interact and the overall workflow requires at least a month of hands-on experience with the tool.

One person is enough to complete the deployment.

I would rate One Identity Manager eight out of ten. The solution is good but needs more documentation and better descriptive errors.

The One Identity Manager is a good starting point for beginners to customize, but the One Identity Designer offers more flexibility for creating complex automation. While the Manager is simplified and easier to understand, the Designer allows for greater customization. The Manager is sufficient for basic task customization, but for more advanced automation, the Designer is essential.

We are a company in the health sector, with about 50,000 employees from six different health organizations. We use the solution to help automate all the processes around hiring and firing. We have automated as many processes as possible around user accounts and mailboxes, and file and folder administration. And with the IT Shop, customers can request permissions themselves.

Back in 2014, it took us six workdays to get an employee what they needed to do their work. The creation of the user accounts required two days, and the creation of the user mailbox and the assignment of permissions took another four days. Now, we get data from HR when a new hire begins and we have the user account, mailbox, and default permissions for the organization available approximately two hours later.

The initial setup process for an employee is straightforward. We set up processes for user accounts and we can add other processes to them. Our goal is to automate all user-permission and user-administration processes with One Identity and we are doing that more and more.

It has helped to simplify compliance. We are subject to compliance rules. Using the solution, a manager has the ability to check out which permissions an employee has and to make changes to the permissions.

We have also integrated One Identity with SAP. Every one of our customers uses SAP and we have the synchronization agent for SAP in different landscapes. The integration process between One Identity and SAP is simple. We don't have to do many steps to integrate SAP landscapes. We just have to start a new synchronization process and that's fine. The SAP integration gives us the ability to make rules for SAP accounts and SAP role assignments. And what is very impressive is the way it handles role assignments. We have more than 2 million role assignments for just one of our customer's employees.

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.

The solution is also very flexible. We can adjust all the standard processes that One Identity comes with and we can create new processes. We can always change whatever we need to change.

The web interface has room for improvement. It could be more performant and the design of the web interface is relatively complicated. It could be simplified.

I have been using One Identity Manager since 2013. I was formerly a consultant for Quest, beginning in 1998.

We don't have any problem with the stability of the solution. We have problems with the stability of our own processes and the systems that are behind One Identity.

We have 50,000 employees. That speaks for itself regarding the scalability.

One Identity support has been fine. We always have good, professional feedback and solutions, and the communication has always been okay.

Positive

As an organization, we started the deployment with one of our customers in 2010 and completed deployment for all of our customers in 2016. Every system requires different processes and knowledge. We were able to set up some things in a really short time. Others took more time because we needed to learn the system and how it works.

We are a team of four employees who design and customize the whole system. Our company has 80 support engineers on the help desk, and on our customers' sites there are between four and 10 employees who have read-only access for the One Identity system.

We have worked with One Identity and with their partners, including IPG and Devoteam. In 2014, we worked with One Identity in our environment to deploy the IT Shop.

APG provided training for me and my colleagues. It went very well. We were stronger in our skills after the training and it was done very professionally. They also helped us customize the solution for our particular needs, the first time. Now, we understand things and we can customize the system on our own. Their assistance, along with Devoteam, in customizing things was very helpful. They customized the whole system and we learned from them.

We have seen ROI due to the better performance we now have in getting employees working. That is very valuable. In addition, we have the self-service via the web interface. That helps with return on investment because every call to our help desk has to be paid for by our customers, but with the web interface they can do things on their own.

It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same.

Take your time in deploying the system and know the processes you want to support with it. Knowledge of the processes you want to support is the main thing.

Like any other identity manager product, the best use cases for One Identity Manager are where you need to use a lot of business logic, and you'll have to configure the processes the way the business wants. In my opinion, One Identity Manager is the best product for business logic and administration. The solution is pretty scalable and can be used in finance, health care, and higher education. One Identity Manager would help if you have an SAP in your environment. It's a top product related to active directory and integration.

The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is its object-oriented architecture. According to this architecture, every element written inside of the system is an object and can be granularly given to someone. The solution's control is amazing. Another great feature of One Identity Manager is its ability to delegate responsibilities to different types of people through granulated access.

One Identity Manager is an incredibly powerful product, but sometimes people need something simpler. The solution should come up with a lighter version so people can buy different versions. I want to see more analytics and not just analytics in terms of reports but actionable analytics.

I have been using One Identity Manager for about 14 years.

One Identity Manager's technical support is pretty good.

One Identity Manager is the best product in the market.

We are implementing OneLogin right now.

Overall, I rate One Identity Manager ten out of ten.
