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 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

"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."

"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."

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

"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."

"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."

"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."

"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."

"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."

More Omada Identity pros

"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."

"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."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."

"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."

"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."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"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."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

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

"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."

More Saviynt pros

Cons

"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."

"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."

"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."

"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."

"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."

"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."

"In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent."

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

More Omada Identity cons

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"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."

"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."

"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."

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."

"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for 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."

More Saviynt cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."

"The pricing is okay."

"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"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."

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

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"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."

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
