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.

Manages user identities and application access in a centralized way from a single console/portal
OpenIAM provides an Identity and Access Management platform which includes identity and access management (i.e., SSO, Multi-factor Authentication, password synchronization, and RBAC). Below are the features : Lower Cost of Implementation & Total Cost of Ownership: * OpenIAM uses tools, such as Groovy script to implement business rules, Grails to create new UI functionality, Activiti for workflow, PowerShell, etc. It also support web services. So it is important to find skilled technical resources readily and at reasonable cost in comparison to the large vendors, which use proprietary tools for developing custom connector or product customization as per business requirement. * OpenIAM is also based on Open Source technologies (i.e., JBoss, Apache, MySQL, CentOS), so Total Cost of Ownership is very low in comparison to other IAM products. * Compliance with standards simplifies integration. * Subscription-based license model. Ease of Use: OpenIAM offers a single unified Admin console and a single unified self-service portal for customers to use and manage the IAM suite (i.e. Identity Management, Access Management, and Multi-Factor Authentication). Modern Architecture: * Built from the ground up, not through acquisitions and proprietary technology. * SOA architecture * Cloud-enabled Enterprise Grade Product: Even though OpenIAM is based on Open Source technologies, it is: * Built on industry standards * Simplified integration * Uses established industry frameworks

Good product with stable use cases
I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules. Those are some of the most important cases The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the option to deploy this solution as a virtual appliance. It's an easy and fast way to deploy the…

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"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."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"The pricing is okay."
"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 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."
Information not available
"Pricing and licensing models are adequate and reasonable."
"I do not recall the approximate prices or licensing models, although I do so that it was priced per user number."
"The price is flexible for our existing customers."
"The connector is free, and bundled with the product."
"Symantec keeps increasing the price. I rate its pricing a seven on a scale of ten."
"The product has a good price in competition with another product with the same solution."
"Compared to other options, CA products are not that expensive."
"The price is based on the number of users."
