Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
Omada Identity's high initial cost is offset by reduced maintenance costs, improved security, and process efficiency, but ROI measurement is challenging.
Sentiment score
7.7
Users report rapid financial returns and effective security with CyberArk Identity, though some lack familiarity to comment on outcomes.
Sentiment score
7.7
One Identity Manager boosts productivity and ROI by automating processes, reducing costs, and enhancing security and compliance.
By the second month, we started seeing the benefits and achieved a return on investment.
Without it, we would need thousands of additional people.
If you do not see it as purely an Identity Management tool but as a possibility to automate processes in the company, it provides a huge amount of value.
One Identity Manager saved us approximately thirty to forty percent in terms of time, money, and resources compared to our pre-deployment setup.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Omada Identity's technical support is praised for responsiveness, but outdated documentation and inconsistent response times pose challenges.
Sentiment score
6.2
CyberArk Identity's support is praised for responsiveness, though some users report delays and desire more expert assistance.
Sentiment score
6.8
One Identity Manager customer service is generally good with variation in expertise and response times based on support levels.
We do not contact their technical support directly because we have a service agreement already in place with them with some dedicated and some non-dedicated resources.
They resolved the problem immediately after I reported it, on the same day, within one hour.
I have had conversations with them twice, and their technical support team was not that good.
There are times when there is a delay in handling my inquiries via email.
If you have outages or critical production problems, you can count on the manufacturer to help resolve the situation.
If I raised a request while they were active, I received responses within an hour.
After submission, they contact the product team, which often takes one or two months to respond.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is praised for its scalability in cloud and hybrid environments, despite minor performance and customization feedback.
Sentiment score
7.6
CyberArk Identity is praised for scalability and adaptability, but faces challenges in performance, stability, and support at large scales.
Sentiment score
7.4
One Identity Manager excels in scalability and adaptability but faces performance challenges with large datasets and specific environments.
We can use it on different phones and computers, demonstrating its scalability.
By addressing the issues I have highlighted, such as stability and making it bug and lag-free, along with improving customer support, they can enhance its scalability.
We could handle about 1,00,000 records for different users.
I would rate its scalability as strong since we have not experienced any significant challenges.
We are hosting it centrally in Switzerland.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is stable, with minimal issues, occasional bugs, and high ratings for reliability and performance.
Sentiment score
7.9
CyberArk Identity is highly stable and reliable, though minor glitches and enhanced regional coverage could further improve performance.
Sentiment score
7.4
One Identity Manager is stable and efficient but requires proper implementation to avoid issues, especially with customizations.
When you have it in the cloud, you have CyberArk every time you need it.
There is a timeout period that I do not like, requiring repeated verification.
With respect to stability, I find that stability is very good.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
Specifically affecting the test and development environments, not the production environment.
One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality.
 

Room For Improvement

Omada Identity needs UI improvements, better scalability, integration, documentation, and cost-effective upgrades, with enhanced API and automation.
CyberArk Identity issues include complex setup, weak authentication, poor integration, difficult scalability, and inadequate technical support and customer service.
One Identity Manager requires UI enhancements, better documentation, improved performance, and streamlined processes for an intuitive user experience.
The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience.
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
Something they could improve is the management of multifactor authentication.
To enhance the product, they can consider improving the user interface of the software.
This lack of 24-hour support is problematic from a testing and development standpoint.
It is crucial for them to expand their support team to match their product's success.
In terms of providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, One Identity is not yet there.
 

Setup Cost

Omada Identity offers cost-effective on-premises pricing, though cloud options are pricier, with flexible negotiations available for enterprises.
CyberArk Identity pricing varies among users but is valued for strong security features by medium and large enterprises.
One Identity Manager offers competitive pricing for enterprises, being cost-effective compared to SailPoint and IBM, with customizable options.
They are lower than some of their competitors.
I compared it with other products, and it does not require a heavy investment.
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
The pricing is acceptable.
On-premises might incur higher costs.
We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it.
On-premises, it is cheap.

Featured Reviews

Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview
The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.
Julio Montero - PeerSpot reviewer
Access management system provides strong security and effortless user authentication
The solution can be deployed on cloud or on-premises. CyberArk is more on the cloud than on local hardware. The deployment is initially quite difficult. That said, when you are doing the implementation of CyberArk, there are so many tutorials that make the learning process very easy. The only complaint could be the language barrier. It's difficult if you don't have a very good level of English. Otherwise, it is very easy. You can have it set up within three months without much difficulty. It's hard to get started, however, once you get going, it gets easier. A full deployment takes half a year or less. There is some maintenance necessary. A company is constantly hiring and letting go of employees. The access is always changing, so access must always be adjusted. Or, if we need another law of filter, we would need to add those, or even take them away. That's another aspect of maintenance.
Dnyandev Garad - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface and makes customization a breeze
With centralized user management, data is effortlessly pulled from various systems like SOAR and HR, simplifying user creation and data maintenance. This allows for easy user editing, role assignment based on HR attributes or department affiliation, and streamlined account allocation based on review levels, departments, or the entire organizational structure. Our Access Control in One Identity Manager is 99 percent automated saving us nearly 100 percent of our time. One Identity Manager simplifies SAP administration by providing a centralized view of even logically disconnected SAP accounts. It offers a flexible helpdesk approach. We can either leverage its built-in model or create our own UI accessible to specific teams based on their applications. This ensures each team sees only relevant tickets for their area, streamlining access management for disconnected applications. One Identity Manager can connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. One Identity Manager simplifies Identity Governance and Administration for SAP, a complex system to manage in this regard. It empowers us to effectively manage SAP profiles, roles, and groups, ensuring their proper assignment to corresponding SAP accounts. The solution delivers SAP-specialized workflows and business logic. One Identity Manager integrates with its Privilege Access Management solution to provide more granular control. This means we can define different account types within One Identity Manager, such as normal, admin, and privileged accounts. By assigning privileged access only to designated accounts, we can restrict access and permissions and enhance overall security control. One Identity Manager offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface. It even provides a webshop for end users, allowing them to easily request new roles or accounts in various systems with a simple two-click process. Having the right resources makes customization a breeze. While understanding customer needs and translating them into technical specifications requires some processing upfront, One Identity's suite of tools simplifies the actual back-end work. From drag-and-drop interfaces for workflows and reports to scripting and C# coding supported by existing SDKs, customization options cater to all users. This dynamic application provisioning solution uses business roles to map our company's organizational structure. In other words, access to applications is determined solely by our assigned role within the company hierarchy. This role-based approach ensures users only receive the permissions they need based on their specific function, preventing unnecessary access. One Identity Manager streamlines our cloud governance by providing a centralized platform to manage user access permissions across all connected cloud applications. This eliminates the need for individual provisioning for each app, ensuring efficient authorization control. We have significantly improved our compliance posture with One Identity Manager. Previously, auditors identified numerous findings during manual audits, requiring extensive time and resources to address. With One Identity Manager, we've automated the onboarding, offboarding, and joiner processes, achieving a 95 percent closure rate on audit points. This centralized solution streamlines the auditor experience, allowing them to efficiently obtain information from the IAM team, saving both the organization and auditors valuable time. We have minimized inconsistencies in how our governance policies are applied across test, development, and production environments. One Identity Manager helps us create a privileged governance stance to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users by managing those accounts separately. This segregation prevents unauthorized access, as standard accounts cannot hold privileged rights and vice versa. This clear separation helps to close the security gap between these user types. One Identity Manager streamlines our procurement and licensing processes, allowing our initially large operations team to focus on more strategic tasks. By automating license management for connected applications like SAP and Azure Active Directory, the solution eliminates the risk of human error – forgotten access removals for unused licenses are a thing of the past. Now, licenses are automatically assigned and reclaimed based on user activity, ensuring efficient resource allocation. This means new hires receive immediate access, and vacated licenses become readily available, freeing the operations team from manual license management headaches. One Identity Manager streamlines application access decisions by automating the provisioning and de-provisioning of user access based on HR data. This eliminates manual intervention and delays for both HR and department personnel. When an employee changes departments, their access permissions are automatically updated in the identity management system, granting them the necessary tools to perform their new duties immediately. It also streamlines the automation of identity and access controls, making it easier to implement a zero-trust security model where every user and device is verified before granting access. While our audit processes were once cumbersome, requiring auditors to chase down reports from individual SAP administrators, everything is now centralized. One Identity Manager stores all application and database information in a single location, streamlining reconciliation efforts.
