We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and SailPoint IdentityIQ 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.
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"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 most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"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."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"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."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"The first valuable feature is being able to see everything on one platform. This includes logs and authentication failure."
"The product is good, cost-effective, and functionally efficient."
"We use this product for SSL two-factor authentication and FortiToken management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using the SMS messages."
"The product's on-premise version doesn't have recurring costs."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"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."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The solution could be more automated. It should be able to let me automate a lot of things so that what normally is done as a matter of manual processes can be handled quicker. Slow integrations can be taken up/out if there was more automation."
"Integration with FortiGate could be more fluid."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
