Easy to use with a good interface and is easy to expand

My concern is that I live in an emerging country. In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern. I don't know if there's another way of doing the authentification. Maybe if you can have a dedicated device for using Okta, it might be better, or if there were other options for authentication. I would like to have a version of this software for personal use, for my personal accounts.

The customer service teams we work with provide great insights and support

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. Also, when we discontinued our previous product, I didn't think we set up all the processes in the best way possible, so we needed to do a lot of work to improve these processes to ensure that the processes worked. Everything is fine, but I don't think we had the best support initially. I believe they have improved since then. The initial stages are extremely sensitive for us, and it would have been helpful if the deployment was smoother.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."

"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."

"Okta controls all the users. It has context-based access from the user and type of device. It identifies the risk and can do a step of authentication when that user is trying to access some sensitive application from an unknown device."

"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."

"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."

"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."

"Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."

"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."

More Okta Workforce Identity pros

"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."

"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."

"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."

More Omada Identity pros

Cons

"The guest user access could be improved."

"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."

"We've not had any problems with Okta."

"The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."

"It would be pricing, which is a tough one because it goes against Microsoft. A lot of companies say they're a Microsoft partner, and they get all their software for free. Okta is like a luxury product, and it's not the most affordable one. I would say if they could work on pricing, it would help. Other than that, they've done great strides in developing a product that is really good. The companies that do see the value tend to invest in it."

"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."

"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."

"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."

More Okta Workforce Identity cons

"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."

"The web GUI can be improved."

"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."

"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."

"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."

"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."

"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."

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

More Omada Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."

"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."

"Workforce Identity is well-priced."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."

"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."

"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."

More Okta Workforce Identity 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."

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

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