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

"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."
"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."
"Omada Identity provides 80% of functionality out of the box with standard features without requiring any special configuration."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features, it is flexible with many possibilities to configure and extend it, and it is user-friendly with an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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."
"Strict governance, ability to scrutinize, and make a granular view."
"The most valuable feature of this product is that it gives you a dashboard on which applications the user has access."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"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 Identity is definitely not better than both Saviynt or SailPoint, so we are struggling and having issues with everything."
"We haven't seen much cost savings yet, so the return on investment could be better."
"The implementation itself requires a lot more people to get it properly working."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."
"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."
"It's a fair price for the on-premises system. Compared with what we had before, it's much cheaper and we get all the modules in one. We tried to go with the cloud, but it was far too expensive."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
