We performed a comparison between Microsoft Identity Manager and One Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"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."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"The concept is primarily for the people in the business. In business, you can discuss how integrating all the services and resources within the company can bring numerous benefits."
"The most valuable and most interesting feature is the conditional access."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"The product’s most valuable feature is stability."
"MIM's most valuable feature is its connectivity with Exchange."
"It is one of the easiest products to implement, which is one of the main advantages. The integration is easy. Unlike other products, it is not complicated to integrate."
"Its interface and the fact that it's integrated with everything in the Microsoft ecosystem are the most valuable features."
"Microsoft Identity Manager's documentation is good, and its end-user portal is user-friendly."
"Among the most valuable features of One Identity Manager are administration from Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, as well as administration from Exchange. These features enable us to have fully automated processes to create new accounts and new mailboxes. The most valuable option is the ability to design an automated route to give our customers permissions."
"One Identity Manager offers several features that I found advantageous compared to other tools."
"The short version is that we gained significant insight into the issues of access governance. This allowed us to turn an auditing nightmare into praise from our auditors."
"The Data Importer is a great tool to create an ETL. It generates code which is easy to maintain later without the tool."
"The portfolio view simplifies this process, eliminating the need to check through Tableau or other tools."
"At the time of the onboarding, this is solution that we have interfacing with HR. On the same day an employee is hired, an account is created and available for the manager when the end user arrives. The opposite is true. The moment employment is terminated, the same day everything is disabled, then later deleted."
"The IT shop is a great tool that allows a simple interface for users to see their access, be able to request additional access, and view the workflow approval process to understand where their request is and what any hold-ups may be."
"The most valuable features include the automated attestations or recertification... The time that people have to focus on their real jobs and not spend it doing recertifications is huge."
"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."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent."
"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."
"The product's pricing and integration features could be improved."
"The setup was difficult. The deployment process is not quick."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"All actions require logging in to the server."
"The product could be more friendly for non-native English speakers. It would also be better if it were more intuitive and visually attractive."
"The governance reporting of the solution can be improved, as it can be difficult to get good, intelligible reports. Microsoft could implement an API of some sort to allow report customization or some form of SQL model, to further customize modules and improve the reporting. That would be a major improvement to the product."
"This product was only launched two or three years ago and it is still in the process of becoming stable."
"The information that is available for the Active Directory portal is segregated here and there."
"The customization process should be simplified."
"One Identity Manager needs to come up with many more out-of-the-box connectors, similar to Workday and ServiceNow."
"I would like One Identity Manager to offer an easier way for users to learn to use their new features."
"It is a very powerful solution, but when it comes to doing some complex parameterization or authorization, we end up coding. Comparatively, CA solutions require less coding. It is more powerful than the CA solutions, but you end up with coding in VB.Net or C#. Complex parameterization could be better from their side."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license."
"The initial setup was complex."
"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person. They do have good technical people in support, but it is sometimes not so easy to get them."
