Helps to deploy IGA within 12 weeks by focusing on fundamentals and best practices
At the moment, because we just started our journey, its benefits are very limited. We are focused. We had an in-house IGA solution over the past 25 to 30 years, so our main focus was doing a technical migration first. We have some improvements to current processes, but we are not yet fully leveraging all the capabilities that Omada can give us. We are focused on our first technical migration. Omada can help to deploy IGA within 12 weeks by focusing on fundamentals and best practices. That was the idea. That was also something I warned them about upfront. I told them it would be a real challenge within our organization. If they start from a blank page, the 12-week initiative that they have is achievable, but for an organization that already has certain processes and a tool in place, 12 weeks is not possible. We tried, but we could not meet that. We failed, but that is not a problem with the package. It is more of a problem as an organization. During the initial conversations at the start of the projects, we did say that we would give it a try and see where we end up. We would not focus too much on 12 weeks. They have been flexible to it as well. Just because they have listed it as a 12-week initiative, it does not mean that they are not flexible to go beyond those 12 weeks. It is set up to remove an employee's access as soon as that employee leaves our organization, but we have limited scope today. It is currently only for a subset of applications. The goal is to have all major applications or data resources integrated, and then we would achieve that scenario. Omada Identity has had a positive effect on our security posture. We are able to remove certain accesses in a centralized control way. We are able to remove certain roles or update some of the basic roles. Our provisioning process is definitely faster today. With the previous solution, we needed to wait for overnight synchronization and scripting to run, whereas now, it is every six hours. It is definitely faster, but we are working to improve even the six-hour schedules. The out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides for the applications work. They need a little bit of effort in integration and setup, but they work.

Offers self-service for both access request management and password management but issues with customer support
From an Identity Manager perspective, we do have role-based access control for a portion of our users. However, the capability is not as mature as what you'd find in other products. It lacks advanced features like the ability to mine tools or make decisions based on the roles assigned to others, offering very basic role management capabilities. The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent. Introducing artificial intelligence to assist people and line managers in understanding what they are requesting or approving would be beneficial, enhancing the capabilities that are currently not as advanced as those in more popular products.

Quotes from Members

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"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."
"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."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."
"Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."
"You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."
"I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."
"The solution is quite affordable."
"The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."
