One Identity Manager Reviews

We use One Identity Manager to synchronize SAP inbound and outbound Exchange data. More generally, we aim to synchronize data between target systems, such as those used in banking or other companies, and One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager includes a default SAP connector that we utilize. Its simplicity is evident in connecting to SAP sites through a straightforward click or by completing a connection filtering form. We can easily establish mapping and workflow for SAP sites, making it a streamlined process. While exceptions may exist for specific customers, we can accommodate their needs by customizing workflow mappings based on their requests. Overall, the SAP connector provided by One Identity Manager is remarkably user-friendly and accessible to all, in my opinion.

We've used the web designer module, but it won't be available next year. One Identity has transitioned from web designer to Angular web development, offering complete freedom to create custom web pages and websites. While Angular requires JavaScript knowledge, it provides unrestricted development capabilities, unlike the complex web designer module. New employees struggled with learning web design, but Angular's accessibility empowers developers to modify everything within the One Identity website and backend, including database interactions and custom code development. This flexibility makes One Identity Manager a powerful tool for connecting various systems and databases.

Business roles are crucial for our customers because they are an essential identity management tool. Without them, we'd need to manually authorize every employee and group. However, Business roles allow us to create and assign business roles automatically. This is vital for our customers as we develop best practices for business workflows. A key component is creating business websites, for which we establish job descriptions and roles. Subsequently, we automate role assignments based on organization or title, which significantly streamlines our processes.

One Identity Manager is user-friendly for the end user.

One Identity Manager significantly simplifies application auditing. The auditing site we use extensively is one of its most valuable features. One Identity Manager is remarkably effective for auditing because it empowers us to create and deliver new attestation or compliance tools. We can generate all these audits through both the website and Manager modules. The audit screen on the website is exceptionally user-friendly. Customers consistently praise the audit feature, and we have received no complaints about the auditing site. We are highly satisfied with using the audit site for One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager's most valuable asset is the ability to customize its front-end website.

The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved. Despite using the solution for six years, I encounter difficulties understanding certain features due to unclear explanations in the documentation. Additionally, while the One Identity Manager community has the potential to be a valuable resource, the community site does not effectively assist all users.

The report site could be improved because while One Identity Manager offers around forty default reports, our customers find them insufficient for their needs. Consequently, we must create custom reports to meet their specific requirements. Although building custom reports within One Identity Manager is straightforward, enhancing the existing default reports would greatly benefit our users.

I have been using One Identity Manager for six years.

I would rate the stability of One Identity Manager nine out of ten. While all software products are prone to errors or bugs, I have encountered none, specifically in version nine. Compared to previous versions like eight and seven, which did experience issues that required resolution, version nine represents a significant improvement in stability and reliability, making it the best version of One Identity Manager thus far.

One Identity Manager is well-suited for large-scale environments, making it an ideal solution for enterprise clients.

We use Premier Support from One Identity Manager. They respond quickly to our tickets, and our customers are extremely happy with the support.

Positive

The deployment is straightforward and takes a week to complete.

Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers. We understand that European consumers may have different expectations, but we must reduce the pricing to attract customers.

I would rate One Identity Manager nine out of ten.

Generally, we don't utilize a governance site but instead rely on an identity management site. Initially, our customers define the SAP architecture or structure, outlining user roles that must be created and associated with specific rules. We then establish the SAP site's structure and architecture, focusing on user management before addressing roles. Subsequently, we incorporate the business side to enable dynamic role calculation for users by creating business rules for role management and assigning roles to users.

I highly recommend One Identity Manager to others. Its ability to develop everything within a single platform is incredibly valuable for customers. Many other products or software often encounter challenges or require custom development, but One Identity Manager offers a comprehensive solution. Its simplicity and customization options make it a standout choice. While I haven't used other identity management products extensively, I am familiar with some features of competitors like SailPoint. However, One Identity Manager's flexibility allows for modifications to accommodate specific needs, unlike some out-of-the-box alternatives.

One Identity is an IGA tool for identity and access governance. One Identity has another product called Safeguard for privileged access management. Our organization is a startup, so we don't have any cloud applications in One Identity Manager. We manage the Active Directory, LDAP, JDBC applications, and CSV files.

Realizing One Identity Manager's benefits takes some time because many organizations don't know the tool. It has to be pushed to the market. For big organizations that require more control over their data, such as pharmaceuticals and defense, it will be very successful compared to market competitors.

I like how One Identity Manager is designed. We can control granular-level permissions. Compared to SailPoint and CyberArk, we can go granular in the access levels. We can control it at the table, column, and database levels. That's the power of One Identity. 

We can import business roles from a .csv or create them in the manager. It is easy to create as many roles as we want, and there is no limit to the resources we can assign to them.

One Identity's UI is fine once you get used to it, but it's a little harder to learn than its competitors. The font size is too small. You need bigger screens to host that application. The website and portal are fine, but the manager, designer, and other standalone applications used for management or configuration are too difficult to use. The UI should be easier to use, and they should reduce the number of standalone applications to three or four. 

Customization is somewhat difficult in One Identity Manager. The problem is they're using VB.NET, which no one uses. There are no resources because One Identity isn't available on YouTube or any coaching institutes. 

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. 

I have used One Identity Manager for 16 months.

It's an efficient tool for the enterprise level. There is no limit to the number of users. We can go from a hundred users to hundreds of thousands. It is based on the implementation level. We can add many servers to support the extension, but there are fewer resources in India because One Identity isn't a popular tool relative to SailPoint. 

I've used SailPoint. Compared to SailPoint, using One Identity is difficult and complex. You have to use many standalone applications to manage the target systems and for configuration and design, like custom implementation. With SailPoint, we don't need to use too many tools. It's all in the same product. 

In One Identity, we need to use Launcher, Designer, and other tools, whereas SailPoint is completely web-based, and the UI changes based on permissions. But One Identity isn't like that. There are standard applications for administrative purposes, but the end users have a web interface where they log in and request access. SailPoint has a single web platform for administrators, developers, and users. 

One Identity Manager is mostly difficult to set up. I cannot say that it is easy to learn. It takes time to habituate to it and memorize where the options are. There are many options in a single tool. At the enterprise level, it takes between six to nine months to deploy, but it depends on the organization's size. Our organization has between 10,000 and 15,000 users, so we could complete the installation in six months.

For maintenance, we have to take care of the database. We must back that up and ensure there are connections between the database, One Identity Manager, and target systems. There is not much maintenance involved in One Identity Manager.

I rate One Identity Manager eight out of 10. 

We use One Identity to integrate our internal and external applications into SSO.

One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration. The solution allows us to apply the same governance coverage to all environments. It helps consolidate procurement. One Identity streamlines application access decisions. It allows the application team to choose the protocol the application will use. We can automate access control with One Identity, saving us time and money. The automation gives us a few errors, but it's manageable. 

One Identity's interface is pretty good. It's user-friendly, and you can access most applications inside the console. The user experience is solid. You can use One Identity if you are a layman without much technical experience. You might need a little more training with admin access, but it's easy to learn. 

The identity governance components have some room for improvement, particularly the ability to terminate an employee's ID after leaving the company. Customization can be difficult because One Identity uses specified attributes that we must use.

We have used One Identity Manager.

I rate One Identity Manager eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate One Identity support seven out of 10. 

Neutral

Oracle Access Manager is comparable to One Identity. It's a good product.

Deploying One Identity Manager took around half an hour. Three or four people were involved on our side, and the application team required our product manager and change manager. One Identity requires annual maintenance depending on the customer's requirements, and the number of people devoted to maintenance depends on your environment's size. 

I estimate that the return on investment is around 40-50 percent. 

One Identity Manager isn't the best solution on the market, but it's cost-effective.

I rate One Identity Manager seven out of 10. I would recommend One Identity to a small company. It requires minimum support because it's user-friendly, but you may need something more secure for a large-scale deployment. 

My clients use One Identity Manager to streamline and enhance their identity and access management processes. Whether it is a university simplifying student onboarding, or a global corporation managing employees across multiple branches worldwide, One Identity Manager helps them efficiently onboard, move within the organization, and offboard individuals. 

One Identity has transformed our organization, particularly in streamlining the join, move, and leave processes. It has shifted these from being manual or non-existent to around 80% automation, making a significant and beneficial impact. Clients, especially in large enterprises, have experienced drastic improvements with One Identity.

One Identity Manager has helped minimize governance gaps, particularly in the transition from test to development and production servers. This has significantly streamlined our operations and simplified the delivery of functionality for our customers who utilize One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager has helped establish a privileged user governance stance, particularly in recommending regular reviews or rotations of privileged accounts. This approach is not only for privileged accounts but also for general usage analysis, ensuring unused accounts are closed, and optimizing licensing. Overall, it contributes to a more robust IT governance framework.

One Identity Manager helps consolidate procurement and licensing processes effectively.

The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation, simplifying user management and compliance.

In terms of improvement, the web portal for end-users in One Identity Manager has improved but could still see enhancements. The training for admins is crucial, and once you gather the knowledge, it becomes fairly easy. However, documentation could be better, especially for new features. It currently doesn't cover everything comprehensively, making it challenging to navigate some aspects. Improvements in documentation would be beneficial.

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

It is quite a stable product. I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of the product as an eight out of ten.

As a partner, we have access to a higher level of support, either gold or platinum. The support experience is generally good, and I would rate it around an eight out of ten.

Positive

Compared to Microsoft, One Identity Manager provides more granular and customizable solutions,  and although it can be used for managing cloud applications and user directories, it's primarily made for managing on premise tenents. The downside of OneIM is the documentation and training. 

The initial deployment of One Identity Manager can be straightforward with the right tools and knowledge, especially if using specific deployment tools. It typically takes around two working days for a basic installation. The solution requires maintenance mainly in the form of periodic upgrades to stay current. Other than upgrades, regular day-to-day maintenance is minimal, focusing on ensuring the application is up and running.

We are consultancy specialising on OneIM implementation. We are experts.

When properly planned and executed,  it should be pretty decent ROI

One Identity Manager is fairly priced, especially for large corporations or enterprises.

We use One Identity Manager for SAP integration, but it has some limitations. Managing logically disconnected SAP accounts can be challenging, and the solution feels somewhat incomplete. As a consultant, there is often a need for additional customization to address the intricacies of SAP integration within the broader One Identity Manager framework.

One Identity Manager connects to SAP accounts for identity governance. However, it is not the primary feature our clients emphasize. While useful, it is not the main driver for most organizations adopting One Identity Manager.

One Identity Manager provides Identity Governance and Administration for challenging aspects of SAP, including key codes, profiles, and rules. In a broader sense, it addresses these complexities within the SAP environment.

One Identity Manager is a solid choice for enterprise-level administration and governance. It effectively handles users, data, and accounts. While not perfect for privileged accounts, its integration with a complementary solution makes it a sophisticated option in the on-premise IGA landscape.

The user experience of One Identity Manager is unique, but it is not straightforward for an outsider. It requires some learning, and the navigation can be challenging without guidance. Overall, it is a complex system that benefits from the expertise of consultancies like ours.

Customizing One Identity Manager depends on your expertise. For experienced users, it is straightforward, but for beginners, especially in the first year, it often requires consulting with senior experts. Customization can be simplified with the right knowledge.

I use the solution's business roles to map the company structure for dynamic application provisioning. The business role functionality is crucial for us and our clients.

We use One Identity Manager to extend governance to cloud apps. It is essential, and I would rate its importance around seven on a scale of one to ten. Many customers, including us, find it valuable even if they don't plan to move entirely to cloud servers.

One Identity Manager helps streamline aspects of application governance, particularly in making application access decisions. The effectiveness largely depends on the implementation by the consultancy. If done correctly, it can greatly enhance application governance.

One Identity Manager has enabled application owners and business managers to make governance decisions without involving IT. If implemented correctly, there is minimal to zero IT involvement, allowing them to approve applications, manage access, and handle licenses directly through the One Identity Manager web UI. This aligns well with achieving an identity-centric zero-trust model.

I would recommend One Identity Manager, especially for large enterprises. However, it is crucial to consult with the customer first to ensure it aligns with their specific needs and requirements. Performing a proof of concept could be beneficial to validate its suitability for their environment. Overall, I would rate the product as an eight out of ten.

We are utilizing One Identity Manager as a provisioning engine. The main use case for us is to manage the identity life cycle of enterprise users in our context.

In my current role where I am managing this overall program, not only from the administration aspect but as the one whom all other departments reach out to with their request, one clear benefit is delegation. One aspect that I like about this solution is delegation. We have delegated administration in a way that we have access to new campaigns configured. This solution has a prebuilt option where we can configure campaign managers, and those campaign managers have a very nice prebuilt dashboard where they can monitor the campaign itself. That is very helpful. We can give these department's folks access.

Our identity landscape is very customized and unique. We are not only providing access for different users; we also have a huge set of non-human identities. We have a huge set of provisioned and service accounts. In our previous legacy solution, the issue that we were facing was that the solution was not very robust. We could not come up with some self-governed scenarios, such as moving the ownership of non-human identities, moving the ownership of service accounts based on the change in the managerial hierarchy, or based on users' movements within the organization. With One Identity, there are very good features that come prebuilt. For example, the department hierarchy within the One Identity solution helped us to build some automated logic, which was missing in the legacy solution. Other than the self-service features, there is also the ability to use ready-made capabilities and scale up on top of it. That was another reason to go for this solution at that time.

We make use of the solution’s business roles to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning. We use it quite heavily. In our context, we have two types of roles. We are using more of the requestable roles, not dynamic roles, and we also have dynamic role-based access control configured as per our organization hierarchy. We have defined entitlements and accesses that each department leverages. Accordingly, we have defined roles in our system.

The capabilities of this solution, in terms of out-of-the-box features and the ability for us to do customization on top of it, have helped us to come up with some automated processes, which were earlier taken care of manually by our staff. Whenever human intervention is involved, it is prone to error. It has helped us to bridge those gaps, which ultimately enhanced our governance score.

It has overall helped us to create a privileged governance stance to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users. With the processes that we had earlier, there were gaps in terms of changing the ownerships of privileged accounts and managing them in a way to have notifications in place. The majority of the stuff is provided out of the box to manage privileged accesses. Also, if you are a One Identity shop and have the Privileged Access Management product from One Identity, you are covered 100% out of the box. You do not have to do any customizations. If you are using any other tools for privileged access management, the product has very good features, which you can scale up and customize in your own context.

It has helped enable application owners or line-of-business managers to make application governance decisions without IT, but we are not using it that extensively for that. In terms of the product having features to do it, it has the features because we are using business roles where we have defined owners of business roles. Product-wise, there is out-of-the-box functionality for business owners to manage the membership. In this way, those lines of business owners are empowered to either revoke access or conduct a review on it. Earlier, with the legacy product, they were not able to do that because there was no such functionality.

In terms of user experience, once you get an understanding of the overall working of the product, it is not that difficult. There are so many underlying components within the product, and they are interlinked and working together. The initial impression is that it is just way too complicated for any developer to customize, but once you get familiar with how it is processing the information and how each box is working in silos, and what is the linkage in between, it makes sense. On a scale of ten, I would give it a seven. Three points to spare are for One Identity to enhance its documentation and maybe come up with more. They have a very good YouTube channel where they post content about One Identity. That is very helpful. However, in terms of explaining to new developers, there is room for improvement.

It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users. The majority of the time, we face an issue where new joiners are not aware of what they need to have in order for them to do their job. One Identity has the answer where they can know this by selecting any reference users, which are basically their colleagues. This way, they can quickly know what sort of access they have in the system, and they can raise the same. The system will automatically identify it for them. It saves a lot of time and is also a very useful feature.

Another valuable aspect is the depth of the product. It allows the support team to reroute certain requests to different people, and within their request flow itself, you can ask questions. All these features are very helpful in our context.

There is room for improvement in terms of the ease of adding custom forms to onboard contingent workers. IT Shop is a great tool, specifically in terms of the self-service mechanism where it allows users to request different accesses. However, there are no prebuilt or easily customizable forms that developers can use to create onboarding forms for contingent workers. In most organizations, contingent workers do not have any authoritative source as HR. The majority of the time, the only authoritative source is the Identity Manager or the Identity Management department itself. I would love to see any enhancement in this regard. For user experience and intuitiveness, on a scale of ten, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

There is no out-of-the-box or very easy way to configure processes to manage non-human accounts. The functionalities that we have built are totally customized on top of what One Identity provided out of the box. It would have been nice to see some out-of-the-box or plug-and-play features available for it. However, the functionality was there, and we were able to scale up in terms of customization. Whatever we did was totally customized.

There should be some ready-to-use templates or utilities as the other Identity product providers have. There should be some sort of features that you can enable or there should be utilities that you can even purchase at extra cost. For example, it would be nice to see the utilities to manage privileged accounts or forms, onboarding forms, or other small things that different clients can leverage, even if it comes at a fraction of the cost.

The overall documentation needs improvement. This product has a lot of features, but people are not aware of it. The depth itself is still unknown.

Skilled resources are very difficult to find for One Identity, which leads us to the conclusion that there is very little certification or free information that users can just opt for and learn. In addition to the documentation, they should also provide more resources. Free training for partners would be nice because being a manager, it is very hard for me to locate skilled resources for this tool.

I have been using this solution for a total of five years. I have worked with it for three years in a technical role and for two years in a managerial role where I am managing people who are directly and technically managing the solution.

It is very stable. We do not need to do anything even with patching. I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.

I would rate it a seven out of ten for scalability because I feel that the architecture of the product is such that you cannot have very effective active-to-active integration between the job servers.

For critical issues, it is good because you can call them, but for the regular issues, I feel that there is a lack of skilled resources on their side.

Neutral

We had another solution from a different vendor, and we replaced that solution with One Identity. We switched because of the self-service capabilities and advanced governance features, which were missing in the earlier solution.

Onboarding from authoritative sources and onboarding directly to One Identity Manager for contingent workers was never an issue for us, even with the legacy solution that we had earlier. The main use case for which we mainly deployed One Identity Manager and replaced the legacy solution was the self-service capabilities. There were limited self-service capabilities in the legacy solution. So, we brought this solution, which complemented the automated provisioning of users in a way that not only the solution is capable of automatically provisioning accesses based upon the policies and templates that we define in our system, but it also has very good features where it allows the end users to do many tasks by themselves. There is a self-service portal, which is called IT Shop in One Identity's terminology.

In terms of consolidation of procurement and licensing, we have not used any other solutions in such depth or so extensively. We still have one use case, which we had with the previous product as well, where we have all Oracle E-Business Suite accesses published on our self-service. The same flows are valid with One Identity as well. However, they are managing the POs and other things. That is still with the ERP itself. We have not gone to the extent of taking responsibility for the functionality of each responsibility within our identity management.

It is deployed on-prem. Our project was not just a deployment. It was also replacing the legacy solution. It was quite a unique and complex project. It took us around eight months to complete it fully because we not only deployed it, we also replaced the whole solution, and we had many integrations in place.

It requires maintenance in terms of product upgrades and security patching. In terms of One Identity upgrades, every two years, we have to upgrade because the previous version is not supported. The other thing for every organization is infrastructure vulnerability patching, so it does require maintenance.

The team that performed the deployment and did the migration had three people: two technical and one architect. The team that is currently managing includes one administrator, one architect, and one developer.

It is cost-efficient compared to its competitors. It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price.

I would recommend One Identity Manager in terms of value for money, but I would not recommend it in terms of skilled resources. If One Identity increases education, then it is a very good value product.

In terms of the extension of governance to cloud apps, we do have such a mechanism, but we are not directly connecting with any cloud apps. We follow our process. We do it through a proxy or some sort of data power or middleware tool. So, we do have some integration with cloud apps, but we have not used the new feature. I suppose they now have out-of-the-box connectors to connect with cloud apps, but we are not using that feature as of now because it requires a separate license. Unfortunately, we have a short budget on that ground. However, from what I heard from my developers, it is a very nice feature, and it is easy to connect, but we do not have the use case to validate.

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

We provide IT services for several European clients, so their individual use cases vary. For example, one is a research center in Sweden. 

One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage. The privilege governance feature enables us to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users, positively affecting our overall operations.

One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important.

The user interface needs to improve.

I have used One Identity Manager for about five years. 

I rate One Identity technical support six out of 10. 

Neutral

I rate One Identity Manager seven out of 10.

We had several tools over time to try to gain control of IAM, but none of them were capable enough for our needs. We simply had too many systems to work with. We wanted one digital identity for each user and a comprehensive view of each user’s entitlements.

Before the implementation, it was necessary to create user accounts to give access to every single information system and application. A lot of resources were needed for development, implementation, support and control of identities and their entitlements. Employees had up to ten credentials for various applications. Now, our users have just one digital identity for all of our systems.

One Identity Manager provides one digital identity for each of the university’s 20,000 users. It also unifies and automates all processes in staff’s and student’s lifecycle by interfacing with other university systems. IAM is now more transparent to IT, students and staff, and helps reduce risk by automatically controlling access according to a user’s status.

This new approach to IAM has created huge efficiencies for IT, especially when it comes to managing more than 300,000 rights. Compared to the situation we had before, IT staff now spend less or almost no time for managing identities and rights.

We are located in Europe, so GDPR is a must for us. So, One Identity solution is helping  with this topic too.

• It gives the best user experience, enabling us total transparency in user access rights.
• We unified business processes for students and staff at enrollment/hiring/graduation/termination of contract in all organizational units of the university.
• It reduced risks by granting adequate access rights to users.
• The best feature is that HR finally took responsibility of it, so not everything is on IT.
• The policy and role management features are important for identity management.

Improve the implementation of additional One Identity Manager’s features. This we are going to focus on after an upgrade to release 8.1 will be finished.

Generally speaking, the solution has great stability, modularity and scalability. We have not had many stability issues until now. However, my opinion is there is still some space to improve performance. Sometimes synchronizations take too long.

We had several tools over time to try to gain control of user accounts and their privileges. But none of the solutions were capable enough to cover all our our needs. We simply had too many disparate systems to work with. We wanted one digital identity for each user and a comprehensive view of each user’s entitlements. Plus, we needed to ensure we could control those entitlements easily.

We noticed that One Identity Manager was positioned well in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for User Administration and Provisioning, based on its evaluation of One Identity Manager.

The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. But, we started step by step with connecting active directory for employees to the IAM system and with data and business processes consolidation. Then, we used the same approach for all our students’ identities and related processes. Many processes we had to redesign, but the main benefit is the processes are much more simplified now. Yes, the journey from introducing One Identity Manager solution to joining all the systems was difficult, but we have reached our final goal.

We have a valuable partner located in Slovenia, who is helping us with analysis and architecture. They advise us with many best practices and are responsible for the implementation and technical aspects of the solution.

This solution helped us to reduce help desk calls. Before the implementation, people were calling because they didn't have access to some systems, etc. After the implementation, we implemented the application access metrics - authenticated users may conduct only previously authorized transactions. Now, all our users have access to these applications when they get their digital identity. Thus, there are no more calls to help desk.

While our journey to find a solution was tiring and we invested a lot of work and knowledge, our expectations have been reached and even exceeded. It's really good to invest time and money in a solution which offers you something that all users, not just IT, can use.

Sometimes, the solution is flexible. However, the customer should sometimes be flexible to the solution, as well.

Those who worked on this implementation now spend less time on user rights, etc. While it lowered their workload with this solution, they are now working on something else.

We mostly use One Identity Manager for the tasks of onboarding and offboarding business roles, assigning permissions, and ensuring that we have a record in auditing to fill out compliance needs.

It allows us to do a lot more tasks in an automated way. Previously, we had to do a lot of things manually. Because of the automation, it allows us to assign a resource. We just have to name a resource. This allows us to transfer some tasks to the first line of the service desk, allowing our IT to concentrate more on other tasks and the needs of the business.

The most valuable feature is the configuration of users, especially onboarding and offboarding SAP roles. It is very important this is done in a fast way, especially in connection to the SAP HR system, where we can get a user onboarded as soon as they have the information recorded in HR.

Connections with more clouds systems is already planned. The more that we can use One Identity to connect with other systems to manage all the applications accessed throughout One Identity, the better. I would expect to have more connections and setups to other systems.

Visually, I would like it to be more user-friendly. Version 8 looks visually like version 6, so this still needs improvement in later versions.

The performance is quite bad, but this is because we have a very old version.

We only use the privileged account governance to identify the type of the account where there are no functions designed behind it. This will probably be something that we will develop more in version 8. Because in our current version, we don't want to add more functions with the performance already being poor.

It is not an all or nothing scenario. It's very good that you can choose exactly what fits your business.

We used a partner. So, we don't use the support service directly from One Identity. All the support that we need is done through our partner.

We didn't have a solution to manage identities previously. The need to have an identity management system came from auditing, our SAP needs to have monitoring, and the need to control SAP accounts and roles.

One of the main reasons, in the beginning, to go with One Identity Manager is to have integration with SAP. It's very important to have our business roles and privileged access monitor always up-to-date, especially if you have privileged users and firefighters. You need to monitor their access very carefully.

For version 6, the SAP integration out-of-the-box can be quite exceptional. The configuration might be a bit harder to do in the beginning, but then the functionality and the way it works is very easy and straightforward to use. 

We have reduced about 60 percent of our help desk calls, especially for onboarding and simple tasks that do One Identity automation.

The solution has helped us increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users and systems. Now, we have standardization for all countries, where we are in 36 countries, presently. It is very important to be standard in the way you work with the solution. 

Because we have implemented automation to our tasks, we have probably reduced time from a few days to a few hours.

The product is quite flexible. In my previous company, I worked with Microsoft products. Now, I am using One Identity. Its functions are easier to use and more intuitive. You also have more functions available to businesses.

Check the big picture and what exactly the company needs. 

Choose the partner wisely. It's always important to make a successful implementation. 

One Identity Manager is good because it allows you to choose at a granular level exactly what you need for the business.
