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 feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."
"The most valuable feature of this product is that it gives you a dashboard on which applications the user has access."
"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."
"When we find a customer that has the set of requirements that Omada is a really good fit for, we can get them up and running pretty quickly, without their having to spend a ton of money, and without their having to spend a ton of their internal IT resource time."
"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."
"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."
"Omada Identity helps automate reviews of access requests, generating an approval for the manager immediately when a request is created, so that process doesn't take long."
 

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 also a bit pricey for the Nigeria region."
"Right now, I don't feel that I have any influence on the features that they are delivering to us."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"Sometimes, the time it takes to respond to a ticket is too long."
"The implementation itself requires a lot more people to get it properly working."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"The security permission inside Omada also needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"Omada is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"My client deals directly with the Omada Identity team in terms of licensing. I never look at pricing, so I'm not aware of how much the solution costs, but it's worth the money. Often, when you begin to use Omada Identity and it takes a while to set up, it'll be irreversible, and you'd depend on and focus more on the functionality of the solution, rather than its price tag."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
