## Overview

OneLogin helped pioneer the SaaS SSO category alongside [Okta](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iam/okta/), offering access management, SSO, MFA, and lifecycle provisioning. It is now a subsidiary of One Identity (part of Quest Software), and the acquisition has slowed its product cadence relative to the front-runners. It remains a capable mid-market access platform, but it is no longer setting the pace in the category it helped create.

## What it is good at

OneLogin still does the core workforce job well: SAML and OIDC SSO, a solid app catalog, adaptive MFA (SmartFactor), and directory integration and provisioning. For mid-market organizations that want Okta-style single sign-on without Okta-level pricing, it is a reasonable value, and the SmartFactor risk engine and developer-friendly APIs remain genuine strengths.

## Where it falls short

Momentum is the problem. Since the One Identity merger, product velocity and category mindshare have lagged the leaders, the integration ecosystem is narrower than Okta's, and the platform is SaaS-only. Roadmap clarity under Quest's broader security portfolio is a fair question for any buyer planning years ahead.

## Pricing

Per-user, per-month with published tiers that generally undercut Okta. More transparent than most enterprise IAM, though larger deals are still quote-based. Compare total cost with our [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/).

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose OneLogin when you want competent mid-market SSO and MFA at a lower price point than the leaders and value matters more than modern cadence. Look elsewhere for greenfield builds expecting the fastest execution and broadest ecosystem, where Okta, [Microsoft Entra](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iam/microsoft-entra/), or [JumpCloud](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/iam/jumpcloud/) will serve better.

## Bottom line

A solid, value-priced mid-market SSO platform that has lost its category-leading edge since acquisition.
