Identity analytics have strengthened security and automated role-based access for our workforce
Omada Identity provides 80% of functionality out of the box with standard features without requiring any special configuration. There are many templates available, so you can get up and running pretty fast. Omada Identity's identity analytics helped reduce the cost of my IGA program. This has affected my organization's security since I am also in the same department as the security team, so we are very focused on that. Especially if someone is having a case with fraud or supposed fraud, we can click the log out feature and then all accounts will be disabled immediately or at least within a few minutes. I am sure that has helped the security level.

Pros

"We use the product to ensure organizations conform to industry base certifications and best practices and do not contradict their security policies within the base points they specify in the system, which are used to match everything against their governance use cases."
"This solution has a very good dashboard and the documentation is also very good, and life cycle management and governance are also good features in this solution."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"Our customers have realized several benefits from using this product, becoming more efficient in driving Identity and Access Management processes by automating many that were previously performed manually, saving manpower resources, reducing help desk tickets and telephone calls through features like automatic password reset, and gaining big benefits from automation, reporting, and easier onboarding of new staff."
"The integration with those systems helps my workflow and saves time considerably because I can manage all the accesses and assignments through Omada Identity at once, eliminating the need to add a license through Azure or a mailbox through Exchange."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think improvements could be made in the self service center, making it easier for the user to understand."
"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."
"The solution is also a bit pricey for the Nigeria region."
"I chose a rating of eight out of ten for Omada Identity mainly due to the single sign-on functionality being the only aspect I feel could be better."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"When the recertification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"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."
"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"The security permission inside Omada also needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"Omada is expensive."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"Omada is too expensive. We are in the automotive industry. The pricing might be high because most of the other customers are in the insurance or banking sectors, but it's steep for an auto supply company."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
