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.
JoelHercik - PeerSpot reviewer
A mature, capable solution that should be available as a cloud solution
They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution. It's just deployable in the cloud, so in some cases that holds them back in a competitive situation. I don't know if they're intent on taking their solution to the cloud, but if they do, that would be one improvement. It would allow them to be competitive down market in medium to small enterprises. I don't know if they care to address that market or not because it doesn't seem like they've made that move, but that would be one way for them to do that. As for additional features, I would suggest stronger integration. I think enabling more universal industry standard integrations would probably help them with different applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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 aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is."
"We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."
"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company."
"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."
"You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging."
"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."
"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."
"When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account."
 

Cons

"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"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."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard."
"NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well."
"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."
"Technical support is horrible."
"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring."
"They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."
"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 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."
"There were a lot of administrator, partner, and supplier accounts for people who were no longer working for us but still in the system. So, we reduced the number of users no longer with the company, which saved us some money on licensing."
"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."
"The pricing is okay."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It's expensive relative to the cloud solutions that are out there."
"In terms of pricing, the tool seems a bit cheaper compared to other SaaS solutions."
"I give the cost a nine out of ten."
