Provides a clear roadmap, offers a significant advantage over other solutions, and is stable
The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version. While our current version is outdated, attending user meetings with Omada might be beneficial to voice our needs and influence future updates. However, upgrading our current version isn't an option right now. Instead, we'll migrate our applications to the new Omada version to gain access to its improved reporting functionalities. This is due to our recent merger; the company I previously worked for used the older Omada version, while the new company utilizes the latest one. By migrating applications, we'll benefit from the new features, especially the enhanced auditing tools. These improved tools will allow auditors to generate reports themselves, saving us valuable time. It's great to know that Omada is already working on this functionality, making it a valuable addition for the future. While there's no immediate solution for our current version, the new Omada promises significant improvements.

Prompt support, reliable, and scalable
We are using ForgeRock for our CRM system In our company, we had some SQL legacy databases but with ForgeRock there is much more integration, including outside the system. The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing. I have been using ForgeRock for approximately one and…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."
"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the authentication for the consumers. The integration with other third-party applications is excellent."
"It works very well, especially in Identity and Access Management. It helps detect anomalies in user behavior patterns."
"The support is good and prompt."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to manage and it's stable."
"The solution is very scalable. We have a lot of users that have been increasing over the years that we have been using it. We have approximately 20,000 users."
"I like the intelligent authentication feature."
"We used it to implement multi-factor authentication and to improve our security posture as well as reducing the potential for attacks."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
 

Cons

"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing."
"The solution's deployment should be made easier."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"We would like this solution to be developed for use with mobile applications."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"I think the upgrade process is sometimes a little complicated and there are failures that occur."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."
"My client deals directly with the Omada Identity team in terms of licensing. I never look at pricing, so I'm not aware of how much the solution costs, but it's worth the money. Often, when you begin to use Omada Identity and it takes a while to set up, it'll be irreversible, and you'd depend on and focus more on the functionality of the solution, rather than its price tag."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"Omada is expensive."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"Annual licensing."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."
"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
"The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."
"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
"We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."
