Featured Reviews

Identity analytics have strengthened security and automated role-based access for our workforce
Omada Identity provides 80% of functionality out of the box with standard features without requiring any special configuration. There are many templates available, so you can get up and running pretty fast. Omada Identity's identity analytics helped reduce the cost of my IGA program. This has affected my organization's security since I am also in the same department as the security team, so we are very focused on that. Especially if someone is having a case with fraud or supposed fraud, we can click the log out feature and then all accounts will be disabled immediately or at least within a few minutes. I am sure that has helped the security level.

Identity management enhances connectivity and productivity with streamlined access and robust security, offering time-saving processes and facilitating seamless integration with other BI tools
One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

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 is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The identity governance and administration features are also really good in Omada."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"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."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"I find it an excellent tool for data synchronization and cleansing."
"IBM really gives you the power to implement a lot of functionality outside the current implementation if you know how to build the functionality you want."
"There is definitely ROI because we use this as our enterprise-wide SSO solution."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."
"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."
"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."
"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."
"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."
 

Cons

"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."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"Sometimes, the time it takes to respond to a ticket is too long."
"The implementation itself requires a lot more people to get it properly working."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The security permission inside Omada also needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"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."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons."
"The product needs better UI customization and the administration console is outdated in this version."
"The current functionality allows you only to change one user at a time. There is no option to maintain the business roles from the UI using standard validation or imports, so you have to build your business roles one by one."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"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."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"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."
"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 pricing is okay."
"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
