Featured Reviews

Lars Henrik Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Faced deployment delays and daily errors but have streamlined access reviews and improved termination processes
The deployment of Omada Identity is complex; the product is not brilliantly documented, and it lacks the same level of documentation that could be found for systems such as SailPoint or Saviynt, making it harder to find material or help online, particularly with Omada Cloud. The system performance of Omada Identity is inconsistent; we've been analyzing this issue together with Omada, but we haven't been able to resolve whether the problem lies on their side or my client's side, which causes long response times and long run times in Omada sometimes. Omada Identity does not help deploy IGA within 12 weeks; the time frame for applying the rapid deployment solution was much longer than expected, and I am unsure if it is built on best practices across all systems. When we receive an error or system message from Omada Identity, it's very hard to decode what it means; we have had serious issues in daily imports that we can't explain, indicating a need for improved stability. The comprehensiveness of out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides differs; the connectors for Microsoft and Salesforce are good, but for SAP, they are basically non-existent.

Clear evaluation and life cycle management; service center could be more user friendly
Our primary use case is for publishing and our customer has somewhere between 3,000-4,000 users. We're partners with IBM and I work as a security consultant.  This solution has a very good dashboard and the documentation is also very good. Life cycle management and governance are also good…
SurajShah - PeerSpot reviewer
Have streamlined user lifecycle processes and strengthened policy compliance through automation and audit capabilities
I see areas for improvement, as they need to introduce more connectors; they have around 20 plus connectors currently but can improve in that area. The only thing bothering me is the connectors, as they have the potential to enhance the number of connectors, allowing integration of a large number of applications. Without them, if an application doesn't have a connector, you can build an ICF connector, which Oracle supports. Oracle Identity Governance gives functionality to enhance this by allowing you to write custom code to integrate applications through ICF connectors or adapters. I see some big differences between Oracle and other vendors. For SailPoint, it is lightweight, while Oracle Identity Governance is a thick, heavy application and has fewer application connectors compared to SailPoint, which offers a large number of out-of-box connectors, making integration easier.

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 aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"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."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"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."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"The most important features that have impacted our environment recently are the Single Sign-On solution, role based provisioning, and the automated provisioning of accounts to target systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"This solution has improved the organization in several ways, including saving many help-desk password-reset calls, IT staff productivity, and quicker user on-boarding."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"It is able to save time and money as everything is automated: user access provisioning, password policy management, and reporting."
"The best features in Oracle Identity Governance product include comprehensive reporting, as we can track exactly what person did what because of the auditing policies that can be enforced in it, and at what time what was done."
 

Cons

"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"The stability of Omada Identity needs improvement because we have experienced too many unexpected errors on a daily basis, causing significant trouble as we onboard more complex and business-critical systems."
"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."
"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"The product design has some complications for doing some use cases. I would like to see easier onboarding of applications and easier ways to plugin the customization codes."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"Identity Governance is a difficult tool to work with. You have to input many models to understand what is happening with the logins. The user interface is not so good. And a lot of the features we use aren't available out of the box."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is that it isn't refreshed or updated as much. The only area that changed on it in the last five years was the GUI. The solution still has the same installation, troubleshooting, and configuration. Oracle Identity Governance is still very complicated when compared to other solutions. It seems that Oracle doesn't focus too much on Oracle Identity Governance in terms of making some improvements to it."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"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."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"The price of the implementation of Oracle Identity Governance is more of a concern than the cost of the solution. The effort that you have to do to put the solution in place is higher than the license cost."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
