We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and Microsoft Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"User-friendly solution."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"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."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"This is a scalable product."
"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The product is good, cost-effective, and functionally efficient."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"The product enables SSO."
"The product allows us to track the logins easily."
"The feature that I find most valuable is the security layer of the identity and access management solution. The ability to secure on-premises and cloud-based workloads and to provide seamless authentication into hybrid workloads, which is also both on-premises and in cloud environments."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that I can use it to track who is sending which email, who is accessing which documents or which files, etc. These tools help me improve security within the enterprise environment."
"What makes this solution attractive is the licensing model. Microsoft Identity Manager is included in premium versions of Azure AD and in enterprise agreements such as E3. This makes the solution very attractive to many of our clients who are subscribed to those products."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"MIM's most valuable feature is its connectivity with Exchange."
"It is one of the easiest products to implement, which is one of the main advantages. The integration is easy. Unlike other products, it is not complicated to integrate."
"The concept is primarily for the people in the business. In business, you can discuss how integrating all the services and resources within the company can bring numerous benefits."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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 web GUI can be improved."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator's initial setup process could be easier."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"The integration with third-party tools must be better."
"It does the job I paid for, but the graphical interface could be improved."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"The product must provide 2FA for applications."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"All actions require logging in to the server."
"Instead of using the connectors from the third-party companies, they should make the Microsoft templates available with this product. If Microsoft would increase the number of the box connectors that would be helpful to all the customers who use it daily."
"It would be good if Microsoft Identity Manager Maybe could be integrated with Azure Active Directory directly and made as a cloud platform."
"Some valuable features might go unused because they are not well-documented or connected clearly in user guides."
"Microsoft Identity Manager could be more intuitive in terms of interface."
"It requires a lot of improvements. Microsoft is killing this product and migrating some of the features to Azure AD. The last version of this solution was 2016. If it is going to stay and integrate with Azure AD, its integration needs to be worked on in terms of connectors, etc. It doesn't seem that they are improving it alone. Microsoft wants to integrate it with Azure AD, but the integration is still not complete."
"The prices can always be improved, and the integration with the software from other vendors could use an improvement, especially if you are using something like Oracle for a database, SAP for ERP, or something like that."
