We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"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 initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"It integrates very tightly with the rest of the Fortinet ecosystem."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration with FortiGate, FortiToken, FortiTalk, and multi-factor authentication."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"The support is very good."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"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."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent."
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
"It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"I don't have any issues with this solution, but it may need a better, more user-friendly interface or better design of the platform."
"The solution could be more automated. It should be able to let me automate a lot of things so that what normally is done as a matter of manual processes can be handled quicker. Slow integrations can be taken up/out if there was more automation."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"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 UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The connectors should be improved."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
