Amit Rathod - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Analyst - IDAM at Toll Holdings Limited
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.

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users
To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"OneLogin has positively impacted the organization by improving security, simplifying access management, and reducing password-related support issues."

"OneLogin by One Identity has positively impacted my organization by cutting implementation time by fifty to eighty percent and decreasing the workforce required to implement it by fifty percent."

"There is a good return on investment because we achieve our onboarding, offboarding, auditing requirements, and MFA requirements in less time."
"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."
"It is easy to use."
"After the initial integration, the overall support calls dropped, and customer satisfaction for VPN increased."
"The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity."

Cons

"Sometimes there is a slight delay in getting the code, but overall it is smooth and reliable."
"Regarding OneLogin's improvement, I would suggest making the interface more user-friendly and enhancing security features through implementing DLP."
"The initial setup could be more simplified; apart from this, everything is perfect and a very smooth solution."
"OneLogin by One Identity can be improved by addressing the responsiveness time for requests, which is a bit slow, as well as the limited API limitation."
"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."
"OneLogin by One Identity is strong, but there is room to improve."
"OneLogin portal has been stable in the environment, but when users receive push notifications or single sign-on notifications, it may feel glitchy or experience frequent timeouts, which are affecting the overall experience."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access."
"Geofencing needs improvement."
"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor."

"There are some shortcomings on the reporting side, such as how many connections you can get per month."
"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
"The VIP Manager can be accessed from the outside which is a security vulnerability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."
"Licensing and pricing seems very fair."
"There are additional costs for maintenance."
"I can say that the solution is worth the money."
