Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview
The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.

Offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface and makes customization a breeze
With centralized user management, data is effortlessly pulled from various systems like SOAR and HR, simplifying user creation and data maintenance. This allows for easy user editing, role assignment based on HR attributes or department affiliation, and streamlined account allocation based on review levels, departments, or the entire organizational structure. Our Access Control in One Identity Manager is 99 percent automated saving us nearly 100 percent of our time. One Identity Manager simplifies SAP administration by providing a centralized view of even logically disconnected SAP accounts. It offers a flexible helpdesk approach. We can either leverage its built-in model or create our own UI accessible to specific teams based on their applications. This ensures each team sees only relevant tickets for their area, streamlining access management for disconnected applications. One Identity Manager can connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. One Identity Manager simplifies Identity Governance and Administration for SAP, a complex system to manage in this regard. It empowers us to effectively manage SAP profiles, roles, and groups, ensuring their proper assignment to corresponding SAP accounts. The solution delivers SAP-specialized workflows and business logic. One Identity Manager integrates with its Privilege Access Management solution to provide more granular control. This means we can define different account types within One Identity Manager, such as normal, admin, and privileged accounts. By assigning privileged access only to designated accounts, we can restrict access and permissions and enhance overall security control. One Identity Manager offers a user-friendly experience with an intuitive interface. It even provides a webshop for end users, allowing them to easily request new roles or accounts in various systems with a simple two-click process. Having the right resources makes customization a breeze. While understanding customer needs and translating them into technical specifications requires some processing upfront, One Identity's suite of tools simplifies the actual back-end work. From drag-and-drop interfaces for workflows and reports to scripting and C# coding supported by existing SDKs, customization options cater to all users. This dynamic application provisioning solution uses business roles to map our company's organizational structure. In other words, access to applications is determined solely by our assigned role within the company hierarchy. This role-based approach ensures users only receive the permissions they need based on their specific function, preventing unnecessary access. One Identity Manager streamlines our cloud governance by providing a centralized platform to manage user access permissions across all connected cloud applications. This eliminates the need for individual provisioning for each app, ensuring efficient authorization control. We have significantly improved our compliance posture with One Identity Manager. Previously, auditors identified numerous findings during manual audits, requiring extensive time and resources to address. With One Identity Manager, we've automated the onboarding, offboarding, and joiner processes, achieving a 95 percent closure rate on audit points. This centralized solution streamlines the auditor experience, allowing them to efficiently obtain information from the IAM team, saving both the organization and auditors valuable time. We have minimized inconsistencies in how our governance policies are applied across test, development, and production environments. One Identity Manager helps us create a privileged governance stance to close the security gap between privileged users and standard users by managing those accounts separately. This segregation prevents unauthorized access, as standard accounts cannot hold privileged rights and vice versa. This clear separation helps to close the security gap between these user types. One Identity Manager streamlines our procurement and licensing processes, allowing our initially large operations team to focus on more strategic tasks. By automating license management for connected applications like SAP and Azure Active Directory, the solution eliminates the risk of human error – forgotten access removals for unused licenses are a thing of the past. Now, licenses are automatically assigned and reclaimed based on user activity, ensuring efficient resource allocation. This means new hires receive immediate access, and vacated licenses become readily available, freeing the operations team from manual license management headaches. One Identity Manager streamlines application access decisions by automating the provisioning and de-provisioning of user access based on HR data. This eliminates manual intervention and delays for both HR and department personnel. When an employee changes departments, their access permissions are automatically updated in the identity management system, granting them the necessary tools to perform their new duties immediately. It also streamlines the automation of identity and access controls, making it easier to implement a zero-trust security model where every user and device is verified before granting access. While our audit processes were once cumbersome, requiring auditors to chase down reports from individual SAP administrators, everything is now centralized. One Identity Manager stores all application and database information in a single location, streamlining reconciliation efforts.
Pete Snell - PeerSpot reviewer
Staff and students can now reset their passwords using their enrolled two-factor device as the authentication mechanism
We've been a OneLogin customer for several years now. While I like the platform, there have been some challenges. A great example is the amount of work needed with that webhook for the enrollment user experience. This functionality is native to some competing products. That's one area where we've leaned on our account rep over the years. They shouldn't rely on the customer to make this experience better. This is one feature request that hasn't been implemented yet. At the same time, they've implemented other features we've requested. One is the ability to use a personal email address as a factor. Initially, they didn't have that. We pushed hard on our account team for about two years before it was finally released. It's a give-and-take. Some of the product's features aren't perfect, but we've had some success pushing fixes to the development team that needs to happen. They've done a decent job. However, there are some fixes that they don't have an interest in. A lot of what I described was before OneLogin was acquired by Quest/One Identity. Things have changed. It doesn't feel like they're driving the product as OneLogin was. It may be because it's a new product to them, and they're still trying to get the lay of the land, process feature requests, etc., but it's not moving as fast as before. We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications. The issues have high visibility. It's gotten better, but it's still there. It raises questions about whether One Identity can support the platform they've acquired. How are they enhancing the product? And how are they supporting the product and the service in the future? Those are two essential questions. There are also lots of nice-to-haves, but that's the case with any product.

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."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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."
"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."
"It's very flexible. You can customize it to the fullest extent. You can use it for almost every situation for every customer."
"I rate One Identity nine out of 10 for stability. We haven't seen any downtime. It has worked smoothly since it went into production."
"One Identity Manager was the right decision in comparison to other market products."
"The solution is a typical, conventional IGA but the tool itself offers many options for customization."
"The solution is flexible because you can realize the customer needs. Therefore, it is easy to upgrade specialized things. It provides the flexibly, so you can implement customers' use cases."
"One Identity Manager stands out for its extensive functionality."
"One Identity Manager is very customizable to meet customer requirements."
"The tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"Documentation."
"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."
"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."
"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."
"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."
"When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop."
"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."
 

Cons

"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"I also find it difficult to add resources to the business roles because we have to use many options in One Manager for that. We have to add it to the IT shop so that the users can submit requests through the web portal, and we must generate that IT shop structure to add resources to the business. There is a lot of complexity in that."
"One of the things we would like is the ability to have more than one system role manager. That would be nice. For example, when people are on vacation, sometimes it gets a little hard to administrate system roles."
"It’s not something you get from the beginning. It’s not like Windows. It is more complicated. You need to know a few things from the back end, however, as you learn it, it becomes easy."
"The documentation I found in their repository is neither interactive nor engaging."
"Default connectors work fine, but certain connectors, such as SCIM to SAP Cloud Identity Services connector, have quite a few bugs."
"There are too many different user interfaces. For example, one is the designer and another is the manager. There's also a web interface and an object browser. It would be helpful to consolidate all of those into a single administrator portal."
"There are occasional issues with the UI or errors when servers are not up and running, often requiring a restart from cache memory and other related areas."
"They should offer more best practices and documentation for every functionality."
"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."
"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."
"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."
"More off-hour support."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."
"I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."
"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 is okay."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"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 was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
