One Identity

What One Identity does

One Identity is a private, PE-backed identity security vendor that provides a unified platform spanning identity governance and administration (One Identity Manager), privileged access management (Safeguard), hybrid Active Directory management (Active Roles), and cloud identity and access management (OneLogin). The platform is architected as an integrated portfolio rather than a collection of point products, and is positioned against peers that have assembled capabilities through acquisition. The company manages more than 500 million identities across 11,000+ organizations worldwide, including 80 Fortune 100 customers in BFSI, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure. Revenue is generated through enterprise subscription and SaaS-based licensing, sold via a partner-first go-to-market motion that is shifting toward managed services and outcome-based engagement, supplemented by direct enterprise field sales.

The company was originally a unit of Quest Software and acquired OneLogin in October 2021 to add cloud-native IAM capabilities, with an earlier acquisition of Balabit in January 2018 adding privileged session monitoring. In June 2026, One Identity transitioned to an independent company with global headquarters in Cork, Ireland, backed by private equity firm Clearlake Capital. A substantially new executive team took shape in late 2025 and early 2026, including CEO Praerit Garg (formerly GM of Identity, Directory, and Access Services at AWS), CFO/COO Michael Henricks, and CTO Gihan Munasinghe, with an explicit mandate to accelerate the SaaS delivery model and AI-infused product development. Recent product investment includes Identity Manager 10.0 (January 2026), which added AI-assisted natural language reporting, automated identity threat detection and response playbooks, and risk-based governance, and Safeguard 8.0 LTS (December 2024) for PAM. The company has been recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM and as a Progressive Company in MarketsandMarkets 360Quadrants for IAM.

Core offering

One Identity provides a unified identity security platform that combines identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), hybrid Active Directory security, and cloud identity management. The platform is delivered through four core product lines—One Identity Manager, Safeguard, Active Roles, and OneLogin—used by enterprises to manage over 500 million identities across more than 11,000 organizations worldwide.

Product overview

One Identity offers a unified identity security platform combining four integrated identity security layers: identity governance and administration (via One Identity Manager), privileged access management (via Safeguard), hybrid Active Directory management (via Active Roles), and cloud identity management (via OneLogin). The platform is architected as an integrated portfolio rather than standalone products, enabling organizations to manage over 500 million identities across 11,000+ organizations worldwide. The company positions its native integration of these four identity security layers as its primary competitive differentiator, supporting zero-trust architectures and identity-first security strategies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Direct peers

• SailPoint: Identity governance and administration pure-play, now independent again following Thoma Bravo's take-private. Directly competes with One Identity Manager in the IGA segment and serves the same Fortune 500 buyer profile.
• Okta: Cloud-native identity and access management leader offering SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and now governance and privileged access. Directly competes with OneLogin and increasingly with One Identity's unified platform.
• CyberArk: PAM market leader sitting at the top of the Gartner Magic Quadrant where Safeguard is positioned as a Visionary. Competes head-to-head on privileged credential vaulting, session management, and increasingly NHI/JIT access.
• Saviynt: Cloud-native IGA platform with converged identity governance, application access governance, and PAM capabilities. Closest direct competitor to One Identity Manager 10.0's risk-based governance and ITDR roadmap.
• BeyondTrust: PAM and privileged identity vendor competing with Safeguard across credential vaulting, endpoint privilege management, and DevOps secrets management for enterprise and critical infrastructure customers.
• Ping Identity: Enterprise IAM platform with SSO, MFA, and dynamic authorization. Competes with OneLogin in the cloud IAM space and has expanded into IGA-adjacent capabilities via internal development and acquisitions.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Entra ID: Bundled identity and access service (formerly Azure AD) included in Microsoft 365 and E5 licensing. Represents both a major competitor to OneLogin's cloud IAM and a key ecosystem partner for Active Roles hybrid AD management.
• RSA Security: Established identity and access governance suite competing in IGA, PAM, and fraud. Comparable in vertical reach and large-enterprise customer base; also PE-owned, similar go-to-market dynamic.

Emerging players

• ManageEngine (Zoho): Mid-market IAM/IGA suite (ADManager Plus, Identity Manager Plus) offering lower-priced alternatives to One Identity Manager. Overlaps in enterprise IGA buy decisions where One Identity plays the lower end of mid-market and emerging markets.
• HashiCorp: Cloud infrastructure identity and secrets management (Vault) adjacent to Safeguard's NHI and DevOps secrets management capabilities. Increasingly overlapping as secrets management converges with workforce PAM.
