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.
Robin Schechinger - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Access to other software is just one click away and suitable for big organizations
Currently, we have limited use of Microsoft AD. We only use it to see if user blocks are available. If they are, we unblock the account and get access accordingly. AD has paid access control features. We can add access control over AD. For example, for documentation, we use an Outline tool. It's open source, and we add our company's knowledge base to it. It's an alternative to Confluence. We don't want everyone to have access to all documentation. If I create documentation for my team, only my team should have access, not support or sales. We can add these scopes or access controls over AD. Once integrated, the person will get the appropriate access control features upon logging in. Role-based access control is a great feature of Active Directory.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"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."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"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."
"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."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"I find the most valuable feature to be conditional access. It allows for comprehensive security controls, network security, and application label security."
"The multifactor authentication feature is effective, providing an additional layer of security."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"The most valuable features are the API apps, which I use to connect to my cloud Protection."
"We've integrated our other software with Microsoft, and we log into other software using Microsoft. That's very helpful."
"The valuable features include multifactor authentication, accessory capabilities, and conditional access for specific applications."
"The solution's technical support offers great assistance to users."
 

Cons

"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."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"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."
"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"Improved traceability would be helpful for administrators. For example, let's say a user's permission is being revoked. We can only see the system that has carried out a particular action but not what triggered it. If an event definition or something has changed in the criteria for the permission being removed or something like that, we don't have immediate access to that information. It takes a little detective work."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"Microsoft has room for improvement in simplifying their integration with third-party solutions and making the licensing model more understandable."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"Entra ID lacks a function to synchronize from the cloud to the local directory. This is a significant issue since there is no write-back feature from the cloud to local, which would allow me to use my own credentials from the cloud tenant securely."
"There is a lot of confusion around the user interface."
"The platform's pricing and scalability need improvement."
"The recent CrowdStrike issue affected most systems."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"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."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"From one to ten, if one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool a seven out of ten."
"Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is not very expensive."
"The product cost is on the expensive side."
"The pricing is competitive in the SMA segment and runs $5-$6 per user."
"The price of Azure AD is not expensive."
