I primarily used OneLogin for proof of concept to showcase potential customers its use cases. I tried almost all of the use cases that OneLogin supports, from integrating with directories and target systems to using SAML and providing entitlements. I demonstrated the onboarding cycle as a specific use case to a customer with OneLogin.

Adaptive authentication has improved onboarding experiences but still needs broader deployment options
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I use OneLogin's SmartFactor Authentication to adjust authentication flows in real time, and I assess SmartFactor Authentication as very good. It is one of the best tools they created.
SmartFactor Authentication stands out for me because it supports no compromise. Usually, there is either a compromise of user experience for risk or a compromise of risk for user experience. With SmartFactor Authentication, I can balance between them. I can give users an easy and smooth user experience as long as the risk indices are low, but I can implement pretty rigid authentication workflows if the risk gets higher. So it is very good.
My impression of the user identity synchronization across directories functionality in OneLogin is that it is very nice. It is very easy to implement and very easy to use. There is nothing bad about it. The synchronization runs smoothly.
My impression of OneLogin's ability to provide a seamless end-user experience for signing in and authenticating to needed applications is that it is very nice.
What needs improvement?
The user experience is very nice, which is why I give OneLogin a rating of seven. It is easy to implement and incorporate in any enterprise, and you can define the ROI pretty fast. However, the downfall rests with the lack of an on-premises solution or cloud in some areas, which prevents OneLogin from accessing some significant markets. Additionally, the weakness of their CIAM module is a concern.
There are no other improvements I think are needed for OneLogin.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used OneLogin for around three years, but it was not continuous usage. I conducted several POCs with it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
My experience with OneLogin's stability has been positive.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OneLogin's scalability is great in my experience.
How are customer service and support?
I do not have any comments about the customer support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not switch to OneLogin from a different solution because I used OneLogin initially.
What was our ROI?
Unfortunately, I do not have any numbers right now regarding whether I have seen a return on investment with OneLogin or any relevant metrics such as time saved, cost reduction, or fewer support tickets.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for OneLogin was very nice.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing OneLogin, I evaluated other options such as PingFederate. It is very resourceful and very good, but the problem is that it is very complex. For very big enterprises, it is one of the best solutions. It has huge diversity in hosting and deployment options. You can deploy it on-premises, in the cloud, or through other methods. It can provide much stronger customization. However, it is much more difficult to onboard in the enterprise. For smaller enterprises that have standard requirements, OneLogin is much better. It is much more efficient and easier to use.
What other advice do I have?
I have used the adaptive login flows with Vigilance AI, and while I do not remember all of the details, I believe it was a very useful experience. I give OneLogin an overall rating of seven.
Single sign-on has simplified authentication and now reduces login-related support tickets
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for OneLogin revolves around application integration and user authentication. I primarily utilize it to implement Single Sign-On across internal and external applications, which significantly simplifies the login process for users.
I use OneLogin for Single Sign-On with an internal project management tool that our team uses alongside a customer relationship management CRM system. Before integrating OneLogin, users had to remember separate login credentials for each application, which was a hassle and often led to frustration. The process has become much smoother with login pages, authentication, and access granted.
What is most valuable?
The best features OneLogin offers are Single Sign-On, multiple Multi-Factor Authentication, and user provisioning.
Multi-Factor Authentication is generally useful for adding an extra layer of security, which is crucial, especially for the sensitive nature of the data we handle.
OneLogin has had several positive impacts on my organization in several key areas. Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication have been beneficial. Additionally, the user authentication has been improved remarkably. Before OneLogin, our team was burdened with managing multiple credentials, but now it is much more efficient.
Since implementing OneLogin, I have been seeing a significant reduction in login-related support tickets, approximately a 30% decrease.
I do utilize Smart Factor Authentication with OneLogin. I find it to be a really valuable feature for balancing security and usability.
What needs improvement?
OneLogin can add more analytics and reporting and integrate with more third-party applications.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
OneLogin is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OneLogin is a good scalable product.
How are customer service and support?
Until now, it is great. I have not used their customer support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not that difficult. I have used it, and while it was a bit tricky for some time, it was manageable.
The setup was good and easy. I am still using the free trial, but I will be purchasing it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Other organizations can use OneLogin, but they can also refer to Okta. I have not used Okta until now, but I am hearing that it is more great than OneLogin.
What other advice do I have?
I am still using OneLogin, so I am still exploring the app and need some more time.
The experience has been smooth and quite positive. My review rating for OneLogin is 8.5 out of 10.
Single sign-on has simplified daily logins and now secures all our marketing workflows
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for OneLogin by One Identity is getting quick, secure access to all marketing tools without password headaches. As a marketing analyst, I use tons of platforms every day: Google Analytics, Meta Ads, HubSpot, Semrush, and LinkedIn. Normally, each tool requires a different password, a different login, and a different permission level. It becomes a total mess. OneLogin by One Identity solves exactly this.
What is most valuable?
OneLogin by One Identity has many features available. These include Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, centralized access control, instant onboarding and offboarding, and passwordless convenience. All of these features definitely help.
I rely mostly on Single Sign-On in my day-to-day work with OneLogin by One Identity. It stands out because it removes the biggest daily headache: juggling passwords for every marketing tool. With SSO, I log in once and instantly access Google Ads, HubSpot, Looker, Meta Ads, Slack, and everything else. There are no password resets, no delays, and no asking IT for access. It saves time every single day and keeps my workflow smooth, especially when I'm switching between multiple dashboards and campaigns.
One hidden gem feature in OneLogin by One Identity that often gets overlooked is context-aware or adaptive access control. With this, access isn't just on or off. Instead, OneLogin by One Identity can allow or restrict access depending on conditions, such as your location, IP address, device type, or time of day. For example, if you're logging in from an unknown location or public Wi-Fi, OneLogin by One Identity can automatically require stronger authentication. This adds a subtle but powerful layer of security without complicating day-to-day logins. It's ideal for remote work, travel, or working from shared spaces.
Since implementing OneLogin by One Identity, the biggest positive change I've noticed is how much smoother and faster my workday feels. I no longer juggle multiple passwords or get stuck waiting for access to tools. Logging in once and instantly opening Google Ads, HubSpot, Looker, Slack, and everything else has easily saved me 15 to 20 minutes a day. Another major improvement is clean, consistent permissions. There are no more access denied issues or chasing IT for fixes. When someone joins or leaves the team, their access is handled automatically, which keeps everything secure and organized. Overall, OneLogin by One Identity has reduced small daily frustrations, improved security, and made my workflow far more efficient.
Other impacts of OneLogin by One Identity include fewer IT tickets, faster onboarding, consistent access, higher security, less downtime, and better collaboration.
What needs improvement?
OneLogin by One Identity is strong, but there is room to improve. The interface could be more modern and intuitive, especially for non-technical users. Mobile login flows sometimes feel slower than desktop, and deeper integration with niche SaaS tools would make it even smoother for marketing and sales teams. More real-time alerts, such as when access fails or MFA is triggered, would help users understand issues faster. Overall, it's great, but a cleaner UI, richer integrations, and a quicker mobile experience would make it even better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OneLogin by One Identity for the past two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
OneLogin by One Identity is stable and secure for our team.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OneLogin by One Identity was very helpful, and we could definitely scale it depending on our employee size.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for OneLogin by One Identity was great. They were helpful and responsive. They explained all our doubts clearly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
What was our ROI?
OneLogin by One Identity delivered a clear ROI by saving time, reducing IT workload, and strengthening security. Teams spend far less time on password issues, access requests, and onboarding, often cutting IT tickets by 30 to 50 percent. New hires become productive faster, and security incidents drop because access is consistent and controlled.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
OneLogin by One Identity was affordable compared to other solutions in the market when considering pricing, setup cost, and licensing.
What other advice do I have?
If you are considering OneLogin by One Identity, my advice is simple: Plan your rollout carefully and start with the basics. Integrate your core apps first, connect HR as the source of truth, and use SSO plus MFA right away. You'll see instant value. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

How has it helped my organization?
OneLogin by One Identity helps us onboard new users really quickly and get everything up to speed super fast. It has helped free up about half of our time through its automation features.
What is most valuable?
The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors. These are the two things I have found to be most valuable.
What needs improvement?
There have been some outages over the years. The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours. Improvement in the stability of the infrastructure would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OneLogin by One Identity for about three and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability has been an issue, with some outages lasting several hours, which impacts our work.

The quality of support is okay. It's not great, but it's not worse than other companies.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In other jobs, I've used Okta and Auth0.
How was the initial setup?
The initial set up was probably easy since the company was using it before I started working here.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
Our Org Identities are safe and secure!!
due to this less dependency on IT teams and all access ready as soon as user joins same when user is removed from hr system all access is revoked autoamatically
One identity for IAM is one of few tools which is leader in market
All of the above activities can be automated using One identity,
It not just saves time and manual efforts but also decreases chances of human error
Provides a unified platform, improves efficiency, and saves us time
What is our primary use case?
We use OneLogin to log in to all our different systems. This means I only need to go to the OneLogin portal to access all my frequently used applications, like our CRM, Greenhouse for recruiting, Jira for ticketing, Workday for HR, Tableau for data visualization, and even Slack. It's a one-stop shop for everything I need!
How has it helped my organization?
The main benefit of OneLogin is its centralized design, offering easy access to everything in one place.
All of our employees use OneLogin daily to log into their applications.
OneLogin offers a centralized platform for managing access across our entire organization, which is crucial for cybersecurity. It provides robust security features that give me peace of mind, knowing that data transfers are highly secure and unauthorized access to our databases is extremely unlikely.
The single pane of glass enables collaborative work between holistic IT and security.
OneLogin has helped our IT team significantly improve their efficiency by creating a centralized platform. This eliminates the need to access information from multiple portals, saving over 50 percent of their time.
OneLogin has improved the user experience when working remotely.
OneLogin has helped increase productivity.
What is most valuable?
OneLogin is efficient. The fact that I'm able to just have one go-to place where I can access everything in one area, so that's convenient.
What needs improvement?
I'd like it to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics. Ideally, there would be a user-friendly feature at the top allowing individuals to pick and choose the topics they're interested in, essentially creating a personalized experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using OneLogin by One Identity for over four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
OneLogin has been stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is good, and we're currently migrating our customer relationship management system from Salesforce to different software. Fortunately, OneLogin hasn't been involved in any data transfer, so I don't anticipate any hiccups or obstacles in that regard.
What other advice do I have?
I rate OneLogin a ten out of ten.
OneLogin does not require maintenance.
With a good IT team, OneLogin works smoothly and it is self-explanatory.
Integrated well and had a single pane of glass, but downtime and pricing were issues for us
What is our primary use case?
We used single sign-on, multifactor authentication, lifecycle management, and connectors.
How has it helped my organization?
When we rolled it out, adoption was very quick. We migrated our email and other things to OneLogin, so adoption was very quick. The gateway became OneLogin, so if you wanted to get your email or anything else, you had to go through OneLogin to get it. It was quick and easy once we turned things on. Even the engineer who assisted us was very helpful. Once we turned it on, the users seamlessly started using OneLogin. They were redirected every time from others, and that ensured that there were no loopholes in what we were implementing.
We had a single pane of glass for access management across the organization, but the caveat is that for managing users provisioning and deprovisioning, apps have to support that feature. This single pane of glass was very important because we eliminated ghost accounts that were not being used. We had no idea about them. After implementing OneLogin, when a user left, the deletion used to happen everywhere, so the licensing cost and all those things came down. Audit logs came in one place, so we had all the control. That improved our visibility a lot.
The single pane of glass for access management enabled collaborative work between IT and Security. It simplified a lot of information for Security, and for IT, it simplified their setup process. For example, they would set up automatic provisions for emails, security training, etc. They would then just set up the user on OneLogin, and automatic provisioning would be done for them. When a user left, the user was removed automatically. That cleaned up things for us and improved processes.
OneLogin 100% helped to free up time for our IT team. The main work we did was setting up automatic provisioning. We reduced our time from five to ten minutes in creating a user to doing it in an instance. For example, creating a user and assigning it on OneLogin to a department, such as IT, automatically moved them to groups and email groups on Gmail. That was no longer manual. They were just writing out the information that was given, and in the backend, it got mapped correctly to what was needed. That saved time for us.
OneLogin enabled us to securely manage a growing user base or more applications with a smaller IT staff. After implementing OneLogin, we just had to work on one main platform. We did not fully need administrators for other systems.
We worked in a hybrid environment. Because OneLogin was available everywhere, it improved the user experience when working remotely. It was a secure way to get to applications. They went through the OneLogin system to get to their apps. However, when everything is under a single pane of glass, there is a risk. If one user gets breached, we have a problem there. For example, I am an administrator, and my account can be breached. The mitigation would be setting up MFA. We needed to put such checks and balances.
What is most valuable?
The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution. The single sign-on worked very well. Lifecycle management was a big feature for us because we just had to provision in one place for the supported apps and everything else that we needed. It worked well in our case.
What needs improvement?
One issue was related to the downtime. They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us. In those moments, people did not want to hear about a single pane of glass. We did try to solve it, but it caused issues. Their uptime is 97% or 98%, but most companies prefer 99.9% uptime.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have had it for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very good when it is up. When it was down, they would give us notice, but sometimes, the platforms would not open, and sometimes the connections would not complete. When we clicked on a connector, it sometimes took a lot of time to get through to the network. Those issues were there.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We started with 500 users and went to 1,500 users with no changes needed. It worked out well in that sense. Our organization has only 1,500 people. It is not too big.
How are customer service and support?
When we were deploying, we had a dedicated engineer, and I used to talk to that person directly. That was very helpful. Once we moved to ticketing, the support was a bit slower. When we had issues, we created a ticket, and there was a lot of back and forth. The times when there was no availability or there was downtime were not acceptable. Those are the main issues for us.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were not using any other solution.
How was the initial setup?
In terms of the deployment model, it is not on-premises, but it connects to Active Directory. In our use case, we did not have Active Directory. Our setup was fully on the cloud. They connected it to our core systems. Our HRMS system and our email system were the main systems we wanted to connect OneLogin with.
The initial setup was very easy. With API keys, we could add the users with one click from the Gmail system. It was very simple for us to get that going.
It took us a couple of weeks. OneLogin is good if there is a connector, but we did not get enough connectors from them. For example, we did not have a connector for our ERP. When we did not have a connector, we ended up building it because we were a software company. That delayed things for us.
What about the implementation team?
We used OneLogin's implementation services. We had one person for its implementation.
In terms of maintenance, once we set it up, it was good to go.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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. Also, it was communicated to them. We did not expect a jump of over 100%. That became an issue, and then we had to go through a lot of negotiations, but in the end, it was not feasible for us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We tested Okta and JumpCloud. We found OneLogin to be the best because of pricing as well.
In terms of features, OneLogin was pretty much the same as Okta. Okta was the leading one that we were looking at. One thing that we wanted in OneLogin, but it was there in JumpCloud, was device access. We wanted device access. We wanted to be able to log into machines through OneLogin.
What other advice do I have?
To those evaluating this solution, I would advise making sure that what they need out of the box is there. For example, our ERP's connector was not there, so we lost a lot of time trying to get that done. We had to go back and forth with them.
OneLogin has a feature called mapping. If mappings go wrong, the application can destroy a lot of things. For example, if you have a mapping that allows you to delete users automatically, and you make any change to that, it can go and delete. It can delete users in the live environment, such as Gmail. Because it is automated, it automatically starts removing users. It happened to us because there was no test environment. We did get one, but such things caused a lot of issues.
Overall, I would rate OneLogin a seven out of ten.
Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes
What is our primary use case?
We use it to deliver single sign-on services for both our company employees and our customers.
How has it helped my organization?
The main advantage is its ease of use for everyday users. Additionally, it simplifies user access management by offering a centralized platform for overseeing user accounts and third-party applications, which greatly benefits my team.
The adoption rate of OneLogin within our organization is at 100% since it's mandatory for everyone to use. During the rollout phase, there was unanimous approval and no resistance from any team members.
It serves as a vital tool for access management across our organization by offering a centralized platform. While we don't directly manage user accounts within OneLogin, they are synced from our Active Directory. Therefore, OneLogin primarily functions as a single interface for administering applications that utilize it for authentication.
OneLogin has been instrumental in freeing up time for our IT team to focus on other tasks. Previously, when onboarding a new user, we had to manually create accounts in multiple applications. However, with OneLogin, we create the account in our Active Directory, which automatically syncs to OneLogin and creates accounts in other applications. Similarly, when offboarding a user, we disable the account in OneLogin, and access to all other resources is automatically revoked. This streamlined process has significantly reduced the time required to manage user accounts. Previously, manual account creation across various platforms would take at least half an hour, whereas now it's down to just five or ten minutes.
It has empowered us to effectively manage an expanding user base and an increasing number of applications, all with a smaller IT team.
The implementation of OneLogin didn't significantly impact our user experience while working remotely. We adopted OneLogin during the transition to a remote work environment at the onset of the pandemic.
It contributed to cost savings for our organization by streamlining time-sensitive processes and boosting productivity, particularly for our IT staff. While we may not have a precise quantification in terms of monetary value, the time saved allows our team to focus on other tasks. As a relatively small organization, we don't require a dedicated Identity Manager, and OneLogin effectively serves our needs in this regard.
What is most valuable?
During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly.
The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users.
One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.
What needs improvement?
There was a minor outage a few months ago that caused some inconvenience. OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers. While it hasn't caused significant issues, improvements in its functionality would likely lead to wider implementation within our organization.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been working with it for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of stability, there was a downtime incident that impacted all of OneLogin's customers a few months ago, which was frustrating as it occurred during prime business hours and lasted for a couple of hours. Fortunately, the impact on us wasn't severe because our applications are configured in a way that once users sign in and authenticate through OneLogin, they typically don't need to go through OneLogin on a daily basis to access those apps again. As a result, many of our users may not have even noticed the downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
OneLogin has the capability to scale infinitely, although our organization's needs are quite basic. We haven't been utilizing a vast array of features or configuring hundreds of applications with it. Therefore, I don't anticipate encountering any limitations with the services that OneLogin can provide us.
How are customer service and support?
I've found that when I open a support case, I typically receive a response within a few hours, and the support team has consistently provided prompt assistance. Even when investigating issues like examining internal logs for failures, they've been able to help me swiftly. I would rate it ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process is quite straightforward. Any issues I encountered were promptly resolved with the help of the support team.
What about the implementation team?
I managed the deployment independently and had it operational within a day or two, although some configuration and feature familiarization took about a month from starting the trial to getting the quote approved for purchase. In terms of maintenance, whenever an application changes or a new one is added, we configure it within OneLogin. So far, we haven't experienced any issues such as applications failing or directory syncing problems due to configuration changes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable. We renew it annually.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before deciding on OneLogin, I evaluated JumpCloud and Okta. However, I found that the features in JumpCloud weren't as developed as those in OneLogin. Additionally, my experience with Okta's sales team was less than satisfactory in terms of configuring a trial and support. In contrast, the sales representatives at OneLogin were highly proactive and went above and beyond to assist us and earn our business.
What other advice do I have?
For new users, I would recommend having someone knowledgeable about their internal directory and authentication systems. It's crucial to ensure that their systems are well-maintained and free from technical debt or complexity. The effectiveness of their OneLogin implementation will ultimately depend on the quality of their internal directory setup. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.
