Featured Reviews

Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview
The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.

Ranjan Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables our organization to manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution
The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface. One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"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."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized. It is like a framework. You can customize it very far from its core functionality, and it will still work."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing. Now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved. It's all in the same system."
"From an end-user perspective, it is very easy to use."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"The tool's true advantage is its flexibility; it provides building blocks that can be easily assembled to create custom processes, much like constructing something with Lego bricks."
"One Identity Manager provides a wide range of features that enable connection to numerous target systems."
"The most valuable feature is the JML. Unlike other identity manager tools, the JML is more customizable, making it easier to find."
"One Identity Manager is more scalable and customizable than other products I have worked on, and user customization isn't as complicated. Defender, One Identity's PAM solution, is useful for rotating passwords in the developer's evolving facilities."
 

Cons

"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience. From a technical perspective, it is a very good product, but from an end-user experience perspective, it significantly lacks."
"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."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"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."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"One Identity could add more connectors for various services we integrate. We need to build and configure custom connectors for our clients with complicated environments and multiple data streams."
"It is a large solution where you need to learn how to work in a certain way for it to provide the best benefit."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."
"Default connectors work fine, but certain connectors, such as SCIM to SAP Cloud Identity Services connector, have quite a few bugs."
"It can have a clearer navigation map of the user interface and user provisioning."
"End-user UI customization is difficult and requires some knowledge of proprietary Angular technology. Every time a customer asks us: "Hey, can we modify this form in the UI?" or "Can we integrate a new form?" it's difficult to do. It's possible and we usually do it, but coding form changes typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the changes."
"A feature that I would like to see is a mobile app that provides users the ability to make changes or add users to the Active Directory, on the fly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"The pricing is okay."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"The initial total cost of ownership to implement Omada Identity is not small. The TCO for the implementation is as high as any other solution. However, the cost of maintaining the solution is at par or lower than competitors, including adding more features or maintaining the system after the initial deployment or installation to make sure that they are available for users to use or extending the functionalities of those activities. Those maintenance costs are lower than other vendors, but the initial cost of getting the system installed is still high."
"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"I rate One Identity seven out of 10 for affordability. It's reasonably priced."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"The licensing cost is per user."
"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."
"The pricing is okay."
"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."
