Room For Improvement

Omada Identity needs UI, mobile, setup, role management, analytics improvements, error handling, better performance, connectors, and communication upgrades.
Workspace ONE UEM users seek better reporting, integration, and user-friendliness, with concerns about scalability, pricing, and training resources.
There is room for improvement in Omada Identity, primarily in customization for administrators; many custom tasks require contacting providers even for simple changes.

The comprehensiveness of out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides differs; the connectors for Microsoft and Salesforce are good, but for SAP, they are basically non-existent.
Lead Cyber Security Architect at Ernst & Young
We have gotten so much negative feedback through the years on users not being able to effectively use the system.

Another concern is that support is getting reduced by Workspace ONE; some customers are saying there are support issues on Workspace ONE right now.

The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation.

Workspace ONE UEM offers shared device mode, strong security, seamless integration, remote management, and scalable, stable multi-platform support.
Omada Identity saves time in provisioning access for identities as it is linked to the HR system, allowing onboarding and offboarding to be done automatically; this includes the automatic creation of access roles.
Identity Access Management (IAM) Engineer at Draexlmaier
Everything such as organization, entity, job role, and the joining date are included. It even notes if the employee is a contractor, when their contract will end, and what resources they need, such as a Windows user, email, and internet connection.
IT Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Omada Identity helps automate reviews of access requests, generating an approval for the manager immediately when a request is created, so that process doesn't take long.
Lead Cyber Security Architect at Ernst & Young
The compliance management feature set is heavily used and beneficial for most organizations.
Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
In UEM, the most helpful part of Windows Management is the baseline policy and central script; using this, you can replace all the AD GPO policy.

Featured Reviews

Lars Henrik Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Security Architect at Ernst & Young
Faced deployment delays and daily errors but have streamlined access reviews and improved termination processes
The deployment of Omada Identity is complex; the product is not brilliantly documented, and it lacks the same level of documentation that could be found for systems such as SailPoint or Saviynt, making it harder to find material or help online, particularly with Omada Cloud. The system performance of Omada Identity is inconsistent; we've been analyzing this issue together with Omada, but we haven't been able to resolve whether the problem lies on their side or my client's side, which causes long response times and long run times in Omada sometimes. Omada Identity does not help deploy IGA within 12 weeks; the time frame for applying the rapid deployment solution was much longer than expected, and I am unsure if it is built on best practices across all systems. When we receive an error or system message from Omada Identity, it's very hard to decode what it means; we have had serious issues in daily imports that we can't explain, indicating a need for improved stability. The comprehensiveness of out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides differs; the connectors for Microsoft and Salesforce are good, but for SAP, they are basically non-existent.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement
The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.
