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.

An open-source solution that helps in IAM
Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation. Users are granted access based on predefined roles associated with their positions, organizational hierarchy, or job titles. Instead of direct assignments, users automatically receive roles upon entering the company, aligning with their assignments. The core feature of EVOLVEUM midPoint that I find most valuable is provisioning. Users, including myself, can submit requests that need designated individuals' approval. Additionally, the recertification feature is crucial for regularly reviewing and confirming the appropriateness of user access rights. I find recertifications valuable because they align with clear regulatory requirements for companies to perform them at least once yearly. Using the product, I can initiate a recertification campaign by selecting users and the applications to be recertified. I define the individuals responsible for approving or rejecting access. The goal is to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The tool's flexibility in handling identity types and tickets has brought notable benefits. It provides full flexibility to extend attributes or the schema for users and organizations. Its audit and reporting capabilities have significantly enhanced our customer's compliance and security posture. Management's regular need for reports, such as the number of users in the application and identifying users with critical access, is addressed. The solution allows easy configuration of reports directly from the front end. Additionally, the ability to schedule and automate report execution, followed by automatic distribution to support or responsible personnel, streamlines the process.

Makes identity management more robust with the new portal, but needs faster processing and better support
For basic tasks, it's acceptable, but when there are complexities and building on those complexities, it becomes slow because One Identity Manager doesn't do parallel processing; it processes in series and in batches. That's a drawback because with a heavy database and many processes, it becomes slow, which isn't ideal for user experience. There are many areas in One Identity Manager that have room for improvement. I don't prefer that One Identity Manager uses series processing where everything is in a queue; it has to process in order, which means there are too many layers involved in processing a single piece of information. If they could simplify that and make processing faster, it would be perfect. The database queue process doesn't make sense, and it's annoying waiting for processes to finish before another starts. Also, when upgrading, they should be more considerate; with the transition from One Identity Manager 7.0 to 8.2, many functions were phased out, requiring extensive upgrading of numerous scripts. I find it pretty difficult to customize the solution because you really need to be an expert. If you have about one year of experience, you can't do much with One Identity Manager. You need many years of experience to customize solutions effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"I like that it's open-source, and it's working. It has nice features, and it looks like it's easy to maintain."
"Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
"Even without any customization, if you install it, configure it, it's ready... It's very powerful. Without any customization, it starts working."
"Workflow management is an important feature. With other identity management products, there was no workflow management so we had to build it ourselves."
"The tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"The IT shop is a great tool that allows a simple interface for users to see their access, be able to request additional access, and view the workflow approval process to understand where their request is and what any hold-ups may be."
"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."
"I like the solution since it is very flexible, and I can basically do everything that I like and need with it."
 

Cons

"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"
"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"Improved traceability would be helpful for administrators. For example, let's say a user's permission is being revoked. We can only see the system that has carried out a particular action but not what triggered it. If an event definition or something has changed in the criteria for the permission being removed or something like that, we don't have immediate access to that information. It takes a little detective work."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"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."
"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."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
"One area where I see room for improvement in EVOLVEUM midPoint is enhancing the user interface for configuration. Currently, a significant portion of the configuration involves technical, XML-based settings requiring a higher level of technical expertise."
"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions—for example, the legal stuff and GDPR, and so on. But I think they are currently working on it."
"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"The user interface of our web shop, which customers interact with directly, needs improvement."
"The user interface can be confusing for end users, especially during attestations, as completed tasks simply disappear without indicating that there are no pending requests."
"More integration with SAP and with the internet of things would be good. We also have system devices that we could manage as identities, so that would be a feature to add."
"I would like them to enhance the search functionality to enable faster processing when looking for objects."
"It can have a clearer navigation map of the user interface and user provisioning. The documentation lacks step-by-step details on common tasks like creating roles, running action reviews, and version control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."
"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."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"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."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"We're EVOLVEUM partners, and I tried it without a license."
"Licensing is defined by the number of users."
"The product is free to use, but a cost is associated if you opt for official product support. Additionally, there is an option for a platform subscription, which entails professional services provided by the vendor."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"The solution is flexible, in general. You can define the parts of the solution that you want to use, and it won't affect the price."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"It's not cheap, but the pricing is okay. Other applications cost about the same."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."
