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 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.

Lacking customization, poor support, but useful auditing
RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise. We have our own proprietary cloud solution created along with RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle and it's deployed on the AWS platform. We use RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle for a broad level use case for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"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 Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
"The solution is a typical, conventional IGA but the tool itself offers many options for customization."
"I like how One Identity Manager is designed. We can control granular-level permissions. Compared to SailPoint and CyberArk, we can go granular in the access levels. We can control it at the table, column, and database levels. That's the power of One Identity."
"It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails."
"The product makes it easier for employees to be more productive."
"It is a flexible because it is customizable. It allows you to build anything on top of it."
"The policy and role management features are superb. If you have a customer who is willing to go somewhere with role management, then the possibilities are endless with the product. It is well-structured, and the architecture is well-defined."
"The main benefit of One Identity is process management. Processes are easier to handle. With the police, if a forensic editor or examiner goes to the field and gets all the data, he would need to go to another office with his flash drive and all of those devices."
"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."
"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."
"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."
"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."
"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"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."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."
"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."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"Improvements in documentation would be beneficial."
"I would like to see a lot more integration with our platforms, more on the connector side."
"Upgrading to a new version is consistently challenging and time-consuming."
"One Identity should open the market with accessible training material and content so that more developers can be available. They have to improve their marketing strategy, partners, and vendors. One Identity should be attracting engineers to learn their product and get certified. They should have strong forums. They could have a certification program where any engineer can get certified. However, their overall approach is complex, which I do not prefer."
"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."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
"The initial setup was complex. It is an extremely complicated thing to replace an entire self-built solution."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."
"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."
"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."
"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."
"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."
"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."
"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada is expensive."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"One Identity Manager is expensive."
"Its price is okay."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."
"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."
