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.

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.

Offers a more comprehensive and streamlined view of user identities and access

One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable. It's the best product for providing an enterprise view of logically disconnected SAP accounts. Sometimes, it's doing better than the SAP IG, which probably got discontinued or will be. One Identity Manager helps us connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. It is critical because there's no such thing as just SAP, and you want to centralize. You have Active Directory, SAP, and all the cloud applications. Every product has its user accounts, and One Identity allows you to connect them all in one place. One Identity Manager provides IGA for the more difficult-to-manage aspects of SAP. It lets you do many different things and go as deep as you want. The solution has a whole library of specialized SAP workflows for provisioning. You can build a customized web interface that you can do whatever you want with. The out-of-the-box interface for administrators or anybody else can take a little time to understand. It depends on the user's maturity. You must understand what's happening before touching the product. If you have experience using Identity Manager or similar tools, it's highly intuitive. It has so many features that it takes time to adopt, but that's not because it's difficult. The business roles are fundamental to role-based access controls. If you don't know how to build roles, it's very hard to do. One of the advantages of this particular product is that you don't have to be a technical person to build the role. You can log in as a business owner with a newly created project and add entitlements, users, or criteria. You can do it manually or using a formula. It's easy to do without any code.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."

"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."

"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."

"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."

"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."

"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."

"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."

More Omada Identity pros

"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."

"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."

"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."

"We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."

"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."

"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."

"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."

"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company."

"One Identity Manager's most valuable asset is the ability to customize its front-end website."

"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."

"One Identity Manager provides a wide range of features that enable connection to numerous target systems."

"The best part of One Identity Manager is that it provides wholesome features. Most of the things required for identity management are given out of the box in One Identity Manager. You can just define your use cases, take this tool, and right away implement the solution."

"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."

"It is a flexible because it is customizable. It allows you to build anything on top of it."

"It provides a unified view of logically connected solutions."

"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."

More One Identity Manager pros

Cons

"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."

"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."

"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."

"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."

"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."

"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

More Omada Identity cons

"Technical support is horrible."

"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."

"The initial setup has room for improvement."

"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."

"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."

"The product is quite scalable, except for the database which is not highly available. This is where scalability could be improved."

"The user interface needs to improve."

"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."

"I would like to integrate automated testing with One Identity, and it would be great to have some support from the vendor on here."

"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."

"One Identity Manager is currently in the process of modernizing its UI, which I hope will result in a more user-friendly interface for its Identity Manager. However, it is uncertain whether they have plans to consolidate their various tools into a unified system to simplify configuration and tasks."

More One Identity Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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'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."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."

"The pricing is okay."

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

"From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost a nine out of ten."

"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."

"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."

"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."

"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."

"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."

"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."

"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."

"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."

"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
