Cloud automation has improved development efficiency and supports secure MFA and SSO
The best features in Google Cloud Identity are their cloud, their VMs, and their cloud VMs, which are too good compared to OCI. Using Google Cloud Identity is beneficial in terms of finance as we are always doing automation and AI, and it is definitely the best. I use multi-factor authentication with Google Cloud Identity. Regarding how Google Cloud Identity helps to improve security, I can say that security is something everyone is using. I do not feel any different. After this, everything will be JWT token and all things we are using. I do not feel any difference in there. I have used the SSO feature, single sign-on, with Google Cloud Identity. In a few words, how Google Cloud Identity affected user management within my organization is that it is not done for my organization but for one of my clients only. I already have the ADs there, but still, it is the best. I think the reporting tools of Google Cloud Identity are good. I cannot comment on these kinds of things for this particular product.

Unified sign-in has simplified access control and has supported end-to-end identity lifecycle
The authentication process is good, but sometimes the responsiveness to requests for enhancement is very slow. I sometimes face issues with platform stability, flexibility in configuration, and limited API availability. I experience downtimes two to three times per year. OneLogin's support team is sometimes very slow to respond. There is a feature limitation with mapping, as OneLogin does not provide one-to-all mapping. For client deployment, we need to create separate mappings for each request, and we cannot use the same mapping for multiple requests. Other areas that have room for improvement are related to API limitations. If a client requires more APIs, such as 5,000 or 6,000, OneLogin charges more. The API rate limits by default or the standard limit should provide more than 5,000. Additionally, OneLogin could provide more flexibility in configuration. These are the main limitations I have identified with OneLogin.

"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access, as you are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"It's easy to set up."
"The solution has a good amount of features, integrates well with Azure products, is easy to set up, has good stability, and can scale."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment."
"OneLogin is a highly pragmatic workforce identity engine that eliminates manual authentication debt across fragmented infrastructure securely."
"OneLogin has really saved our IT team efforts and the management of the solution, and we are able to easily deploy or de-provision users or employees in our organization."
"OneLogin has strengthened my security posture, streamlined user onboarding and offboarding, and provided a seamless experience for employees accessing multiple applications."
"Together, SSO and MFA provide a strong user experience, reducing the workload on the development team."
"OneLogin has positively impacted our organization by improving security, productivity, and access management efficiency, as employees can securely access multiple enterprise applications with a single authentication process, which reduces login friction and minimizes password-related issues."

Cons

"Pricing is something that can be improved."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."

"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"For Google Cloud Identity, there will be a recurring cost. There is no ROI."
"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"I would like to see more integration in future releases."
"If not, I don't think that's a product that should be released for Mac because you can't do patching and postpone the patching just because they still haven't figured out their tool."
"OneLogin should provide better documentation on configuring policies and roles and ensure that customer support is available 24/7 with experienced staff to improve the complexity of the deployment process."
"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."
"The areas that do have room for improvement include a learning curve."
"Overall, OneLogin is solid, but we can implement some improvements with Active Directory connectors."
"I think OneLogin could improve by providing more features that make everything more unified."
"The tool must be made more robust."
"OneLogin needs to improve as sometimes there are glitches in the software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"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."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"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."
"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."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
