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.

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 most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."

"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."

"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."

"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."

"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."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."

More Omada Identity pros

"I like the eDirectory feature."

"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."

"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."

"The product is easy to use."

"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."

"The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."

"The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel."

"NetIQ does not have a limit on the number of users."

More NetIQ Identity Manager pros

"We no longer keep users who shouldn't exist."

"One Identity Manager offers several features that I found advantageous compared to other tools."

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

"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."

"Workflow management is an important feature. With other identity management products, there was no workflow management so we had to build it ourselves."

"This solution has helped to increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users in our systems. This solution has been really been effective with our retail workers. It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it. The management of the solution is pretty automated."

"I like One Identity's reporting features and the single sign-in option. Users can skip multiple logins. It also gives us a centralized system that lets us know about a user's access. This is an automated process. If a user leaves the company, One Identity will ensure their application access will be removed after a certain date. When the user joins a company, it ensures all privileges are created and active by the start date."

"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."

More One Identity Manager pros

Cons

"The web GUI can be improved."

"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."

"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."

"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."

"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."

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

"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."

"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."

More Omada Identity cons

"The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."

"NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date."

"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."

"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."

"If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement."

"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface."

"The vendor must provide an easier console for configuring things for smaller customers."

"We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."

More NetIQ Identity Manager cons

"Because their company is so focused on just their tool and related technology, they can't support you much. At times, it becomes frustrating. While you are paying a little less than your competitors, you expect some support, compliance, or expertise from the company. If a certain load balancer is unable to handle your tool, you should know what load balancer would be perfect or what configuration you should use."

"The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation."

"The product's GUI could be more user-friendly."

"The client application should transition to a web-based interface to improve administration flexibility. Improvements are also needed in the analytics, peer comparison, and recommendation features, as these areas were added later and require more development. More flexibility in the portal is needed for multi-tenant environments."

"The framework is robust and flexible, allowing companies to easily adopt and extend the schema as needed."

"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."

"The product must include SaaS in the future."

"We would like the product to integrate with ServiceNow, since One Identity Manager and ServiceNow are two of our better tools."

More One Identity Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."

"Omada is expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."

"The solution is quite affordable."

"The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."

"You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."

"Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."

"I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."

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

"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."

"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."

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

"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."

"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."

"It has helped to reduce customer costs."

"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
