Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SailPoint, One Identity and others in Identity Management (IM)."The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."
"You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging."
"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."
"When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account."
"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."
"We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."
"I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is."
"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company."
"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."
"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 architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"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."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."
"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."
"They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution."
"Technical support is horrible."
"NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well."
"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring."
