Featured Reviews

Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

IAM improves cloud security management with hybrid network capabilities and global role access
In AWS Identity and Access Management solutions, CloudFormation tools are used to create templates. Having predefined templates available from the AWS team would be beneficial. Currently, security teams work on policies and scripts for creating generic AWS Identity and Access Management roles. If AWS could provide an option to automatically create templates based on desired access requirements, it would be extremely beneficial, especially for documentation and troubleshooting purposes. Storage gateway creation has limitations, allowing maximum of 50 SMB file shares per gateway. While it is costly to access S3 buckets via AWS Identity and Access Management role through storage gateway, companies invest in this for enhanced data security, particularly in financial sectors where data integrity is crucial. There is an ongoing issue where files are sometimes sent twice to S3 buckets, despite MoveIt logs showing single transmission. As a workaround, Lambda functions are implemented with a five-minute delay before processing files to downstream applications.
Hubert Hopkins - PeerSpot reviewer
Reasonably priced, responsive support, and easy to implement access reviews
There is still no automated way to de-provision access due to a review completion, but they are getting there in terms of making it unified. Right now it is just a one-way integration, importing user lists. I believe they working on it. I can pull a user list in, but when I do a review, the results get sent to a ticket which requires a person to execute. As a result of the review, there is no automation for the removal of access. They are going there, and the next step is to continue to streamline the process operationally and resource-wise. The review process is great. The scope for improvement is more at the results end. It would be great if it could systematically communicate with that end system and remove the requested access automatically.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"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 support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"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."
"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."
"A significant advantage is that unlike access keys and secret keys that require regular changes every 30-90 days based on organizational policy, AWS Identity and Access Management roles, once set up, do not require periodic changes."
"AWS IAM is beneficial as it provides standard access and identity management policies and roles for monitoring and logging."
"IAM is highly helpful for monitoring and privilege management."
"AWS Identity and Access Management allows for creating, modifying, and deleting users or integrating with directories."
"Constructing permissions is easy and very robust; you have a lot of flexibility with IAM permissions, how you can define them, using wildcards, and you can have explicit deny, explicit allow, and different conditions that certain conditions have to be met that this IAM policy will be executed or respected."
"I rate AWS Identity and Access Management ten out of ten."
"It also provides MFA, which adds an additional layer of security."
"From my experience, AWS Identity and Access Management is a strong solution."
"I enjoy the ease of setup and creation of a review. Being a user of the tool or kind of an admin of the tool, the ease of setup of an access review is valuable."
"We had these spreadsheets all over the place, but now we have a library of evidence to consult when needed. Zilla keeps everything in one place. It's not scattered all over anymore."
 

Cons

"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Omada Identity, primarily in customization for administrators; many custom tasks require contacting providers even for simple changes."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"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."
"It is sometimes not always clear how to work with it, so this is not necessarily what I appreciate about it, but I think it is a matter of experience because when you have experience, it is quite intuitive."
"AWS IAM could be improved by providing a graphical user interface which would simplify permissions management, making it easier for beginners to quickly understand and manage permissions."
"The accessibility and inclusion of more AI features would greatly enhance the program."
"There is an ongoing issue where files are sometimes sent twice to S3 buckets, despite MoveIt logs showing single transmission."
"There could be improvements in making the command line interface options clearer regarding the purpose of each selection."
"The user activity tracking in AWS Identity and Access Management should be enhanced to provide detailed descriptions of user activities."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"Workload management could be improved by providing temporary access."
"Maybe this is coming with their AI module, but I would like to see a feature that performs baseline analysis of permissions that may not fit into a role, and it attempts to group them into a role. We've run into problems with applications where someone has not created a role but assigned ad hoc permissions to a user. We still need to do some manual work to identify the group that the user belongs to. It would be amazing to have Zilla streamline that."
"There is still no automated way to de-provision access as a result of a review, but they are getting there in terms of making it unified. They are getting closer to that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"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."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"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 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 Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
Information not available
"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
