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.

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…
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.

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."
"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"User-friendly solution."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"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."
"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 current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."
"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"The connectors should be improved."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"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 not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"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."
"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."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
