  • Each has a real cost: CivicPlus Asset Management the product changed owner and name in January 2025, so references, documentation and community knowledge are split between Beehive Industries and CivicPlus Asset Management.; One Identity the portfolio is assembled from separate acquisitions, so components are separately licensed, separately administered and do not present one console, which raises operational cost.
  • They diverge on capability: CivicPlus Asset Management covers Asset register, One Identity covers Identity Manager.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CivicPlus Asset Management

  • The product changed owner and name in January 2025, so references, documentation and community knowledge are split between Beehive Industries and CivicPlus Asset Management.
  • Existing Beehive customers face a migration to CivicPlus Asset Management 2.0 that involves data mapping and retraining, not a routine upgrade, and the timing is set by the vendor rather than the customer.
  • It is designed for small and mid-sized municipalities, and larger utilities with complex linear assets or regulatory reporting will find the asset model too shallow.
  • CivicPlus is a private-equity-backed consolidator with many acquired products, so investment in any single acquired line depends on portfolio decisions the customer has no visibility into.
  • No pricing is published and it is frequently sold as part of a wider CivicPlus bundle, which makes a like-for-like comparison against a standalone CMMS difficult.

One Identity

  • The portfolio is assembled from separate acquisitions, so components are separately licensed, separately administered and do not present one console, which raises operational cost.
  • Identity Manager implementations are customisation-heavy and commonly run over a year, with the services spend exceeding the licence cost in the first year.
  • Quest has changed private equity ownership more than once since the Dell separation, and buyers should ask directly about product investment commitments before signing a multi-year deal.
  • Product documentation and support sit behind a customer portal, which makes independent evaluation before purchase harder than with vendors that publish openly.
  • The cloud-native and developer experience trails the pure-play identity vendors, so organisations moving decisively to SaaS applications find the on premises heritage becomes a constraint rather than an asset.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CivicPlus Asset Management: Is Beehive Industries software still sold under that name?

No. CivicPlus acquired the asset management and utility billing products in January 2025 and sells them under the CivicPlus name.

One Identity: Is One Identity the same company as Quest?

Yes. One Identity is Quest Software's identity and access management business unit, not a separate vendor.

CivicPlus Asset Management: Do I have to migrate from the legacy Beehive platform?

Yes. CivicPlus is transitioning customers to CivicPlus Asset Management 2.0, which requires data migration and retraining.

One Identity: Does it include privileged access?

Safeguard provides it, but it is licensed separately from Identity Manager. Neither includes the other.

CivicPlus Asset Management: Does it need Esri ArcGIS?

No, it integrates with ArcGIS but does not depend on it the way a GIS-centric product does.

One Identity: Why choose this over SailPoint or Saviynt?

Almost always because of Active Directory depth via Active Roles or an appliance requirement for privileged sessions. For cloud-first estates the specialists are the stronger choice.

CivicPlus Asset Management: Is utility billing included?

No, that is a separate product from the same acquisition and is licensed separately.
