Has the ability to give people access, but it should include more analytics capabilities

Omada Identity is quite good at providing a clear roadmap for getting additional features deployed. We've always been able to have good discussions with Omada's product managers about the features we would like to have. It's a good environment for discussion, and I've heard from others that Omada is good at listening to customers and getting features into production within a year or so. Omada partially helped us to deploy IGA. However, the company I was working for needed to take more charge and do things a bit differently. It was not possible for Omada to do that for us. Omada did help, and it was not Omada's fault that it took longer. It's too early to say if the solution's identity analytics has affected the manual overhead involved with our identity management. It should have had a positive effect because it should be easier to request more things automatically. Since that's not in production yet, we couldn't measure the effect, but it looked promising. Our Omada solution is set up to remove an employee's access as soon as that employee leaves our organization. This setup has positively affected our organization's security because we have less overall access. Omada Identity was deployed as a SaaS solution in our organization. I think Omada Identity is flexible enough to be used by both smaller and bigger companies. Based on what I've seen, Omada's out-of-the-box connectors are more than sufficient. I advise users to assess their data quality and make a clear cleanup plan before using the solution because Omada is not well-suited as a cleanup tool. Overall, I rate Omada Identity a seven out of ten.

Allows Linux and Unix administrators to login with single password

The solution helps with auditing, and monitoring, and integrates with Splunk for log analysis. User activity logs are captured in CyberArk Identity and sent to external tools like Splunk for analysis and monitoring. It is integrated with tools like Splunk and Dynatrace for the analysis of risk behavior and user activity. The pushing teams receive automated reports to assess factors such as login times and server activity in the last 60 days. The licensing for IAM and PAM tools is based on headcount and usage. Users who are not actively utilizing the resources may have their access revoked. This approach helps manage budgeting and reduces the risk impact on the organization by implementing protocols to mitigate threats.

Great features with good certification module but the cost can be prohibitive for some

We use this product for identity governance. There is the basic identity creation in the lifecycle followed by certification. I'm a company manager and implementer and we are customers of SailPoint. I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features. The options are…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."

"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."

"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."

"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."

"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."

"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."

"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."

More Omada Identity pros

"I found the solution to be stable."

"The integration capabilities, ability to integrate CyberArk into the overall IBB strategy of our current clients."

"The features that I personally find most effective in terms of security stem from the fact that it is easy to integrate and also the adoption is faster."

"The tool helps with authentication. It acts as an MFA for any kind of privileged access that occurs in our organization."

"The user self-service program and the Office 365 provisioning service feature are the most valuable. It is a very easy and feature-rich solution that gives priority to the users and security."

"The initial setup of CyberArk Identity was straightforward."

"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."

"I like the RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). It basically involves defining various roles, and then simply assigning those roles to users."

More CyberArk Identity pros

"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."

"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."

"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."

"This solution is easy to configure."

"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."

"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."

"The initial setup isn't so difficult."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."

"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."

"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."

"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."

More Omada Identity cons

"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."

"CyberArk Identity could improve by having the ability to better manage the network, such as Cisco. There seem to be some issues in this area."

"The product is not cheap, especially if you opt for an on-premise deployment requiring a complex server infrastructure. On the other hand, choosing the software as a service version simplifies infrastructure requirements but necessitates being online all the time."

"I'm not sure what needs improvement. It is a good platform."

"They can include the Mobile Device Management (MDM) feature."

"The solution's difficulty in gaining skill sets should be improved because it's a vertical product."

"CyberArk Identity's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"In terms of a governance platform, it's worth noting that CyberArk doesn't offer a particularly strong one."

More CyberArk Identity cons

"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."

"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."

"The user interface is not very user-friendly."

"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."

"The mover process for this solution could be improved."

"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."

"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."

"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."

"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."

"The pricing is okay."

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"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."

"The initial total cost of ownership to implement Omada Identity is not small. The TCO for the implementation is as high as any other solution. However, the cost of maintaining the solution is at par or lower than competitors, including adding more features or maintaining the system after the initial deployment or installation to make sure that they are available for users to use or extending the functionalities of those activities. Those maintenance costs are lower than other vendors, but the initial cost of getting the system installed is still high."

"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"In terms of pricing, BeyondTrust and CyberArk tend to be more expensive, with CyberArk receiving an eight out of ten, in this regard."

"We find that the pricing and licensing of this solution is adequate, as compared to the other competitors in the market."

"The solution is cheap and I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing of CyberArk Identity is competitive."

"CyberArk Identity is an expensive solution."

"It's not that affordable compared to Delinea or other products. They're less expensive and allow more customization. For the cost, it is expensive."

"I would rate the tool’s pricing a seven out of ten. The product’s pricing is expensive and is on a yearly basis. You will need to pay around 10,000 GBP for 500 users."

"There is an initial license and then there is a subscription needed."

More CyberArk Identity pricing and cost advice

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"It is affordable licensing."

"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
