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.

Out-of-the-box, user-friendly, and doesn't need customization to work, but its compatibility with third-party applications could be improved

What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt. This is an issue we've observed in the solution. What we'd like to see in the next release of SAP Identity Management is a compliance feature, so we won't need to work with multiple products. If one product would be sufficient for all requirements, including compliance, it would be easier for us.

The way the tool is introduced to the user lacks industry standards and better learning resources

As one of the leading IGA (Identity Governance & Administration) products and because of how I see this is the tool, I have to wonder how a client can fully maximize the capabilities of Saviynt. Surely the client needs to understand the tool to some extent. I think it is important that Saviynt services agents help to empower their clients to use their tools in a better way that is not being promoted at this time. One thing — and it could be just a problem in the APEC area — it that there is a lack of resources for independent learning. I have to spend quite a bit of time in the Freshdesk area to study in order to understand a feature, what other people are saying about it, et cetera. I find that I can not really get to understand the features that I am exploring quickly enough and in enough depth. The company I am working for is doing a project with Saviynt. My role is project/BAU (Business as Usual). Once everything is deployed in a proper way, I will be the person running it as a BAU resource. For an example of the learning that is absent, one thing I wonder about is the campaign module. Part of a campaign is to determine a risk score. The risk score is to be determined by the role as far as the entitlement for that role. I was hoping to have some kind of Saviynt-as-a-Service provide best practice governance where they could advise the client on how the risk score can be implemented in the tool. It is not obvious, and they do not provide that guidance. A tool like this can work for the client only if they have that standard governance in place. If not, they will not be able to leverage the experts in the field while working with so many clients. Saviynt has to work for their clients and so does the competition, like SailPoint. These users have different tools to do similar things and they will have a lot of exposure to different use cases. But still, there will be some common ground that should be addressed as standards. Some of those governance questions become very important in order to stay within an expected standard. If Saviynt can provide a framework for working with these standards with their tool, I think that would be quite helpful. Because different people are working together with clients in a company and using different tools, when we are in that situation, people using different tools have to speak the same language. Assuring that product users follow some best practice recommendations can help with that. In turn, we can uplift our standards and policies and strategies to align better with other people doing IGA. It is not really the tool itself, but the way it is introduced to the user or used by the user that is my issue with the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."

"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."

"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."

"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's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."

"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."

"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."

More Omada Identity pros

"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."

"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."

"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."

"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."

"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."

"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

"The setup process is straightforward."

"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."

More SAP Identity Management pros

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

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

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

"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."

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

"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."

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

More Saviynt pros

Cons

"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."

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

"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."

"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"

"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."

"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."

"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."

"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

More Omada Identity cons

"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."

"The pricing could be better."

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."

"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."

"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."

"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."

"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."

More SAP Identity Management cons

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

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

"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."

"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 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."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

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

More Saviynt cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 is expensive."

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."

"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."

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

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

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

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

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."
