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.
Sudalai Raja - PeerSpot reviewer
Manages access permissions effectively with role-based control and MFA
One of the most valuable features is the ability to create IAM users and add them to specific user groups to manage access permissions at a group level. It also provides MFA, which adds an additional layer of security. The solution supports role-based access control, allowing specific roles to be attached to AWS services like EC2, enabling automatic access to resources such as S3 buckets.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"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 administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"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 most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."
"AWS Identity and Access Management allows for creating, modifying, and deleting users or integrating with directories."
"From my experience, AWS Identity and Access Management is a strong solution."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"The most beneficial aspect of AWS Identity and Access Management is the ability to manage security."
"The ease of control and the ability to manage group policies and individual policies are valuable features."
"AWS IAM is beneficial as it provides standard access and identity management policies and roles for monitoring and logging."
"AWS IAM is useful since it restricts unauthorized use of the AWS console."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
 

Cons

"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."
"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."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"Currently, the IAM solution does not allow one user to create multiple access and secret keys, which can be distributed in a diverse manner. This feature would be beneficial."
"The user activity tracking in AWS Identity and Access Management should be enhanced to provide detailed descriptions of user activities."
"I would like to see scalability improvements in AWS Identity and Access Management, such as better integration with existing systems and applications."
"Workload management could be improved by providing temporary access."
"Currently, AWS Identity and Access Management needs improvement in the prevention of unauthorized access to sensitive data and models."
"I would like to see scalability improvements in AWS Identity and Access Management, such as better integration with existing systems and applications."
"The accessibility and inclusion of more AI features would greatly enhance the program."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"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 not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."
