I have been using One Identity Active Roles for the last two years.

One Identity Active Roles is stable.

One Identity Active Roles is definitely scalable. I purchased this for its scalability and have seen its ability to handle increasing numbers of users, groups, access requests, and administrative tasks without major issues. The automation and delegation administration features help a lot because they reduce the workloads on administrators.

Customer support is quite good.

Before switching to One Identity Active Roles, user and access management was mainly handled through native Active Directory tools, manual processes, and a few scripts. As the environment grew, those methods became hard to manage and audit, so I adopted One Identity Active Roles to automate routine tasks, improve delegations, strengthen governance, and reduce manual effort.

I would say the integration of One Identity Active Roles with our existing IT infrastructure and directory services was very straightforward overall, especially because our environment was already based on Active Directory and Microsoft services. The initial integration with Active Directory was relatively smooth, and One Identity Active Roles fit well into our existing identity management process, designed to work across AD, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365, which helped simplify administrations in our hybrid environment.

I did not purchase One Identity Active Roles through AWS Marketplace , as I use AWS  as a part of our hybrid cloud environment, but the licensing and procedure were done directly through our organization's standard software procurement process rather than through the AWS Marketplace .

I have seen a positive return on investment mainly through time savings and operational efficiency. While I do not have exact financial figures, a good example is onboarding and user provisioning. Before One Identity Active Roles, creating accounts, assigning groups, and validating permissions was largely manual work, taking around twenty to thirty minutes per user, but with automated workflows, that process now takes just a few minutes for standard requests.

I have utilized the fine-grained permissions control and delegated administration features quite extensively. One of the biggest impacts has been supporting the least privileged principle by allowing users and teams to perform only the specific administrative tasks they need without giving broad Active Directory access. For example, help desk teams can handle password resets and account unlocks, while application owners can manage only their own groups and resources.

In my experience, the pricing is at an enterprise level, but the setup and licensing were justified by the automation and governance features. Setup required planning and configuration, but licensing was straightforward, and the long-term operational benefits provided good value.

I evaluated Microsoft Native  Active Directory tools, ManageEngine ADManager Plus , and some identity governance platforms such as SailPoint. I selected One Identity Active Roles because of its automation, delegation administration, auditing, and strong Active Directory management capabilities.

For others considering One Identity Active Roles, my advice would be to first check your user management process and how onboarding and access management would be taken care of before deployment, starting with key automation use cases. If implemented properly, One Identity Active Roles can save a lot of administrative effort while improving security and compliance, so it is important to clearly define your governance model, roles, and approval processes before deployment.

My experience with delegated administration has been very positive. Before One Identity Active Roles, most routine requests had to go through senior Active Directory administrators, which often created delays and bottlenecks. Now, with delegated administrations, I can assign specific responsibilities to help desk teams, application owners, or business units without giving them full AD privileges. For instance, help desk staff can handle password resets and account unlocks, while certain teams can manage their own group's membership, significantly improving workflow because routine requests are resolved faster, reducing the workload on senior administrators and controlling access more securely through the least privilege model.

One Identity Active Roles offers automation capabilities that are among the strongest features available. I mainly use them for user onboarding, offboarding, group assignments, and access approval workflows. For example, when a new employee joins, the account creation and non-role-based group assignments happen automatically through predefined workflows, reducing manual work, improving consistency, and helping minimize provisioning errors, making identity management much more efficient and controlled.
