Featured Reviews

Espen Bago - PeerSpot reviewer
Has the ability to give people access, but it should include more analytics capabilities
Omada Identity is quite good at providing a clear roadmap for getting additional features deployed. We've always been able to have good discussions with Omada's product managers about the features we would like to have. It's a good environment for discussion, and I've heard from others that Omada is good at listening to customers and getting features into production within a year or so. Omada partially helped us to deploy IGA. However, the company I was working for needed to take more charge and do things a bit differently. It was not possible for Omada to do that for us. Omada did help, and it was not Omada's fault that it took longer. It's too early to say if the solution's identity analytics has affected the manual overhead involved with our identity management. It should have had a positive effect because it should be easier to request more things automatically. Since that's not in production yet, we couldn't measure the effect, but it looked promising. Our Omada solution is set up to remove an employee's access as soon as that employee leaves our organization. This setup has positively affected our organization's security because we have less overall access. Omada Identity was deployed as a SaaS solution in our organization. I think Omada Identity is flexible enough to be used by both smaller and bigger companies. Based on what I've seen, Omada's out-of-the-box connectors are more than sufficient. I advise users to assess their data quality and make a clear cleanup plan before using the solution because Omada is not well-suited as a cleanup tool. Overall, I rate Omada Identity a seven out of ten.
Mahender Nirwan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Kiril Petkov - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable, especially if you're an experienced user and is suitable for managing access rights for accounts, process sharing, and file sharing, but it isn't straightforward to use or maintain
I'm not so happy about the features provided by SAP Identity Management, but I'm not sure where the problem lies, if it's a product issue, an issue with its deployment, or both. I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex. The solution is integrated with only two core systems, so it's not compatible with all applications in terms of providing single sign-on, which makes no sense to me, so this is another area for improvement in SAP Identity Management. Still, the issue could be with the supplier my company is working with, as that supplier provides consultancy and deployment services. It's a popular, experienced, and well-ranked supplier in the local market. However, it's still not guaranteed that the business requirements have been understood correctly and that the deployment was done properly. What I'd like to see in SAP Identity Management in its next release is a more innovative way to use it for handling all access rights rather than having to use different products.
