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.

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

"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."

"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."

"User-friendly solution."

"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."

"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."

"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."

"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."

More Omada Identity pros

"I like One Identity's reporting features and the single sign-in option. Users can skip multiple logins. It also gives us a centralized system that lets us know about a user's access. This is an automated process. If a user leaves the company, One Identity will ensure their application access will be removed after a certain date. When the user joins a company, it ensures all privileges are created and active by the start date."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its handling and that it is easy to maintain and manage the data."

"The IT shop is a great tool that allows a simple interface for users to see their access, be able to request additional access, and view the workflow approval process to understand where their request is and what any hold-ups may be."

"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."

"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."

"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."

"The Data Importer is a great tool to create an ETL. It generates code which is easy to maintain later without the tool."

"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."

More One Identity Manager pros

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

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

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

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

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"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."

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."

"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."

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

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

"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."

"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."

"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."

More Omada Identity cons

"The initial setup was complex. We have a lot of different systems. The journey from implementing to joining all the systems was difficult."

"The reporting and auditing functionalities within One Identity Manager could be enhanced, particularly in the reporting area, which would benefit from a wider range of pre-built reports."

"The philosophy behind One Identity Manager has always been that there's not one way of working and that you can set it up according to your own identity and access management philosophy, but what would make it better is by shortening the setup time and the learning curve time. If the team could create some best practices with a wizard to set the solution up within companies, that would be a killer feature and would help make identity access management more approachable. That would also help companies that don't have the resources or a dedicated team to set up One Identity Manager. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the addition of just released application governance parts. That would sound promising. It would also be interesting if the team sets up best practice startup wizards, so you could set up One Identity Manager according to selectable best practice wizards instead of setting it up completely by yourself."

"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."

"The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."

"One key area for improvement is implementing continuous integration and deployment."

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

"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."

More One Identity Manager cons

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

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

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

"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 solution seems to be pretty outdated."

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

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

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"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."

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."

"It is cost-effective. I do not know about the other regions, but here in the Middle East, the competitors are almost double the price."

"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 pricing is okay."

"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."

"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."

"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."

"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."

More One Identity Manager pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"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."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."
