Enables zero trust security with hybrid AD fine-grained delegation and role-based access control
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution enables us to create a user in the cloud and give them access to resources through a single workflow which is important to all our clients.
The solution enables zero trust security with hybrid AD fine-grained delegation and role-based access control which is important to all our clients.
The solution acts as a firewall against Active Directory, requiring our IT team to go through active roles and get approval to make changes. It has also reduced our onboarding time from one or two weeks to five or ten minutes.
The solution reduces the time it takes to reset a password to under one minute.
The solution simplifies Active Directory and Azure Active Directory management efficiency and security. It has a proxy layer, which means that no one talks to the connecting platform directly. All requests go through the active roles, which act as a proxy layer. We can set all kinds of policies, rules, and business enforcement policies on the proxy layer. This means that nothing flows to the platforms without proper information or proper data standardization. The solution manages and streamlines everything in this proxy layer.
The automated provisioning can be completed in under ten minutes.
What is most valuable?
Secure access is the most valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation.
The pricing is high and has room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using One Identity Active Roles for 20 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is extremely stable. I give the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is highly scalable and used by customers worldwide.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is responsive and helpful.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used ManageEngine ADManager Plus, but I switched to One Identity Active Roles because it is more robust and highly scalable. ManageEngine is lightweight and it slows down when the number of users increases.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes around 20 minutes and depends on the type of deployment: integration, application, life cycle management, or RMAD management. However, there is usually a design and discovery phase that we conduct. Based on the discovery phase, we finalize the scope of the implementation that the end user wants to implement. This may include RMAD integration or both.
What about the implementation team?
We implement the solution for our customers.
What was our ROI?
Customers typically see a return on investment within one or two months of using One Identity Active Roles.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is on the higher end.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution an eight out of ten.
Although small companies can use the solution, it is not essential for them. However, it is recommended for medium and large organizations.
One Identity Active Roles exist because of the shortfalls in Active Directory.
Before implementing One Identity Active Roles, it is important to identify the pain areas and challenges that the solution can address. This solution provides a lot of options and is highly customizable, so it is important to start with the key pain areas and challenges that the organization is facing. By doing so, the organization can gradually increase the scope of the implementation and reduce delays in automating or executing certain tasks.
It is common for people in organizations to resist change. They often prefer to work in the same way they have always worked, with the same tools and processes. In order to get people to adopt a new solution, such as One Identity Active Roles, it is important to convince them of the benefits of the change. This can be done by demonstrating how the new solution will improve efficiency, reduce costs, or increase security. It is also important to get buy-in from both the top management and the technical staff. Once everyone is on board, the change is much more likely to be successful.

the worst management application for AD, ever
What do you like best about the product?
To be honest, I don't really like anything about it. Active Directory is not something I think needs a third party application to use, but management wanted *something* and this was chosen.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't sync (even though we force via OneID) with our current AD so we have to go into the main DC to run a sync via PS. It's incredibly difficult just to add someone to a group. I think it's overly complicated to use compared to just using the console for Active Directory.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing issues have been a huge deal; I can disable someone in AD but OneID does not show that. They will still show as enabled. I've also noticed that if you can a script for it, it still manages to mess up and put people in the wrong containers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ONE IDENTITY. The vendor has been very hard to reach; we constantly have to reach out to them for issues and it takes days/weeks to get back to us. We have had this go Live in August and we are STILL finding issues.
Effective Administration
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use. It helps me manage users and devices without any roadblocks, and it works great when I have to access accounts through our VPN.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some error issues could have a better explanation, or even just more streamlined guidelines to avoid potential errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem is just being able to setup and manage user accounts, especially remotely. Most of our users are half the country away, and Active Roles helps me when there are lock out issues, or when new users need to be added, or when I need to adjust user qualifications. Another big component for me is to set up various email groups for specific staff sets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that One Identity goes beyond a lot of the capabilities of other Active Directory software like Microsoft and Azure. I don't think that I have been limited in any way while using over the past 5+ years.
It's effective, if too simplistic
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything is clearly labeled, and you don't have to hunt to find what you're looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
The set up is too... I don't know, bland? If you're not given a tutorial, it's hard to figure out what you're supposed to be using. It's not beginner-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me stay organized, which is nice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it's worth the go. Useful. Effective.
