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.

Supports API integrations with different systems

My company uses multi-factor authentication and we tried using it integrating with FIDO Server. It was done to make sure that the multi-factor authentication feature gets used during the authentication process. AI can be used for better authentication, but right now, our company has not used any such feature. I recommend the product to others. It is easy to install and easy to use. Understanding a feature before you integrate a tool with other tools is important. In my company, there is another team with five to six engineers that takes care of the support part of the tool. The product has helped me to meet my security management requirements as per ISO 7001. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."

"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."

"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 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."

"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."

More Omada Identity pros

"One Identity is a complete solution that has everything we need."

"The best feature is that it's customizable. For example, we can create any kind of product or custom service within an IT shop and customize it the way our customers need it. For the customers, it's the best. They are happy with it."

"Even without any customization, if you install it, configure it, it's ready... It's very powerful. Without any customization, it starts working."

"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."

"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."

"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."

"The SAP integration is One Identity Manager's most valuable feature."

"It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users."

More One Identity Manager pros

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."

"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"

"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."

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."

"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."

"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."

More Omada Identity cons

"I would like them to enhance the search functionality to enable faster processing when looking for objects."

"Having new features for web developers in the One Identity Manager shop is an area for improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is its ServiceNow connection as ServiceNow is a major ITSM system player, but the current out-of-the-box feature proposed by One Identity Manager can only make simple incident requests to the system. My company is now in full ICL design, so it prefers for all concerns or requests to be sent properly to ServiceNow, so my company can have better control over the incident requests and be able to sort those out. The tool fits all my needs today, except for the ServiceNow connector. That's the only additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of One Identity Manager."

"I would like to have more advanced features and reporting added to One Identity Manager."

"How One Identity Manager deals with disconnected systems needs improvement."

"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."

"Their support is inadequate."

"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."

"The UI may need some improvement, but it's still great. GraphQL Cloud isn't quite visible yet to the end users, and they said there are some issues there because we have lots of users on board, so it takes time to reflect when the approval is going through and who they should contact to get it approved. The smoothness in that UI performance could be better."

More One Identity Manager cons

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."

"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."

"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."

"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."

"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."

"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."

"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."

"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."

More One Identity Manager pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
