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.
Robin Schechinger - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."
"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."
"It also provides MFA, which adds an additional layer of security."
"AWS IAM is beneficial as it provides standard access and identity management policies and roles for monitoring and logging."
"I rate AWS Identity and Access Management ten out of ten."
"IAM is highly helpful for monitoring and privilege management."
"The ease of control and the ability to manage group policies and individual policies are valuable features."
"I rate AWS Identity and Access Management ten out of ten."
"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."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
 

Cons

"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."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There could be improvements in making the command line interface options clearer regarding the purpose of each selection."
"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 documentation and policies could be more straightforward."
"Workload management could be improved by providing temporary access."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
 

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."
"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."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"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."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"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 Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
Information not available
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
