Featured Reviews

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.

Offers a good alerting system and integrates with SIEM solutions but main difficulty was the integration process
The risk management capabilities have GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). Saviynt has an alerting system and integrates with SIEM solutions. Those things are very helpful in terms of managing risk. It is easy to integrate it with third-party solutions. There were some troubleshooting issues, but we were able to resolve them successfully. It's not easy, but we were able to do it. The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 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."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"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 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."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."
"The connection with multiple systems is what makes it flexible. We can create the accounts flexibly, enabling access to other systems. In addition to Active Directory, it can extend to SAP, to Salesforce, to Office 365, etc."
"One Identity Manager's account creation feature stands out as its most valuable functionality."
"One of the valuable features is that it is relatively organized. I definitely appreciate that aspect. It is also relatively simple to use with a very easy flow to the GUI. The user interface is really top-notch."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"This solution is quite flexible. We have a lot of customization since we have our own business processes."
"The solution does lots of things that we did manually before."
"One Identity Manager stands out because it offers a wide range of features without requiring complex installation or ongoing maintenance."
"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
 

Cons

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"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."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience. From a technical perspective, it is a very good product, but from an end-user experience perspective, it significantly lacks."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"We fell into that trap of over-customization which made upgrading the product difficult."
"The user experience is good, but it can be improved. There are a lot of features in the administration part, and they need better documentation. For example, they need to explain the main reason for a feature, and what the tables are in the database. It needs better documentation about all the features that are in the solution."
"They have bad support. Sometimes, they're fast, and sometimes not. They have 24-hour support, so when you message them, they try to fix their problems. One Identity can give you a technical engineer who can guide you through what to do or give you custom scripts for a problem."
"The tool to develop the web portal needs improvement."
"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."
"The interface can be a bit complex for an administrator to manage."
"[Regarding] their upgrades, we're going to 8.12 right now and everything is running very smoothly but this is actually the first upgrade that has gone off well. Even the other "dots" have taken us six months or longer to get through QA testing."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."
"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."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"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 is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."
"The pricing is okay."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
