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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"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."
"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."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"From my perspective, the IGA features cover everything and are quite broad."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves."
"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."
"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."
"The overall positive impacts and benefits I have seen since the deployment of Omada Identity are significant, as the tool is impressive and every single detail of the user is actually available in a single application where you get everything about the employee, including their manager, identity owner, and every detail needed."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
 

Cons

"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."
"I think improvements could be made in the self service center, making it easier for the user to understand."
"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."
"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."
"Right now, I don't feel that I have any influence on the features that they are delivering to us."
"I would like to see some additional functionality and improvements in usability."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."
"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."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"There were a lot of administrator, partner, and supplier accounts for people who were no longer working for us but still in the system. So, we reduced the number of users no longer with the company, which saved us some money on licensing."
"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"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."
