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.

An excellent application with a strong use case
It is very intuitive and has improved significantly over the last seven years. Its deployment is very enterprise-focused, and I hope it will eventually become cloud-based for easier connection through AWS or similar services.

Quach Van Lam - PeerSpot reviewer
Flexible, easy to customize, and not too difficult to set up
The initial setup isn't so difficult. The product can be flexible in the build. You can easily customize the workflows. We can set everything up on the cloud, which makes things very easy. It can easily adapt to the PoC requirement and the set requirements on the app's online version.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"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."
"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."
"It is very intuitive and has improved significantly over the last seven years. Its deployment is very enterprise-focused, and I hope it will eventually become cloud-based for easier connection through AWS or similar services. Currently, it's an excellent application with a strong use case."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"We like the integration with other systems."
 

Cons

"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."
"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."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"I would like to see EmpowerID move to the cloud to facilitate easier deployment and connectivity through AWS or similar services."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's a fair price for the on-premises system. Compared with what we had before, it's much cheaper and we get all the modules in one. We tried to go with the cloud, but it was far too expensive."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."
"Omada is too expensive. We are in the automotive industry. The pricing might be high because most of the other customers are in the insurance or banking sectors, but it's steep for an auto supply company."
Information not available
"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."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
