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

"Omada Identity has helped us consolidate solutions for access management as they provide access request concepts, access reviews, and different types of access reviews that can be used."
"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."
"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 most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."
"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."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"With SAP IDM we have stopped manually managing all changes in user accounts after his/her transferring between organizational units."
"There is definitely ROI because we use this as our enterprise-wide SSO solution."
"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."
"I find it an excellent tool for data synchronization and cleansing."
"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"When the recertification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"Right now, I don't feel that I have any influence on the features that they are delivering to us."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
"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 user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"There were a lot of administrator, partner, and supplier accounts for people who were no longer working for us but still in the system. So, we reduced the number of users no longer with the company, which saved us some money on licensing."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"The pricing is okay."
"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
"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."
