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.

Easy to use, but customizations can be complicated to handle
I would suggest others use the product after asking them to consider their use cases. SSO may be a use case for some, and using the product as an IDM tool may be a use case. At the moment, my company is not deploying all the components of ForgeRock itself. My company uses ForgeRock for OAuth 2.0. For example, my company is not deploying the IDM and identity gateway components. You should consider your use case and select the required components for that use case. My company does not use the SSO features of the tool. My company uses SSO to access ForgeRock's AM Console for individual users. My company does not use single sign on features of the product and instead, we use Auth0. I rate the tool a seven or eight out of ten.
Suresh Kumar Subramaniyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has delivered strong identity automation while support response could be faster
With either SailPoint or Saviynt, I utilize this product, as do some of my clients, with AWS as a main cloud provider. We are not using AWS; we were using only Saviynt. We never used AWS because we don't have any customers for AWS. Saviynt likely uses an AWS server for their database, though I'm not certain how they utilize AWS services. The cloud-native capabilities of Saviynt contribute to enhanced cloud security as they are operating a cloud-based solution. Saviynt's capabilities for automating user provisioning and access are excellent, and their IGA functionality is perfect. The specific details about their IGA capability show excellence in terms of automated onboarding, off-boarding process, and JML processes, making it a strong solution in this market. I rate Saviynt 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"We have found the identity and access management tools in the solution to be particularly useful for our organization."
"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"Easy to customize and adaptable to any environment."
"The product is easy to set up."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
"Easy to navigate, handle and manage the applications."
"ForgeRock products are customizable, and the out-of-the-box features are solid, too. I primarily use the OIDC compliance features. It's just a configuration. it's easy to set up and customize trees. We can add our own features if necessary. Banks and corporations have different standards and specific validations."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"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."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
 

Cons

"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"There is room for improvement in Omada Identity, primarily in customization for administrators; many custom tasks require contacting providers even for simple changes."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"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."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"The product's customization is a bit complicated."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"The product's support services in the French language are not free."
"I find that it's quite expensive for just an open-source system. Support is quite expensive."
"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"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 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 very reasonably and competitively priced."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."
"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
"The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."
"We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."
"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."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
