Allows resource assignments with a validity period and saves a lot of time

It provides the benefits that any IGA solution provides in a company. There is not anything new. If there was any other tool in our organization, that would have provided the same coverage. Our Omada solution is set up to remove an employee's access as soon as that employee leaves our organization. It has made the security better. We know that once an identity is terminated, the access would be disabled so that the user cannot log in and do anything. Omada Identity saves time. It is pretty fast. We can handle multiple access requests at the same time. It has a good filtering capability for the users to choose the resources that they need to select. It has definitely removed a lot of manual work that was being done by the help desk teams. That way, it has saved a lot of time. There are about 40% time savings. Being a cloud solution, it is very easy to manage. An on-premises solution is not very efficient.

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."

"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."

"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."

"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."

More Omada Identity pros

"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."

"Provisioning in multiple environments."

"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."

"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."

"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."

"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."

"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."

"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."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

"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."

"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."

"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."

"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."

"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."

More Saviynt pros

Cons

"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."

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

"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."

"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."

"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."

"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."

"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."

"Functionality and usability could be improved."

More Omada Identity cons

"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."

"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."

"The connectors should be improved."

"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."

"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."

"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."

"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."

"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."

"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."

"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."

"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."

"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."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."

"Omada is expensive."

"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."

"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."

"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."

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

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"The solution is not cheap."

"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."

"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."

"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."

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