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.

A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management

I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Has significantly improved secure access to applications and resources in our environment

Microsoft Entra ID has helped by simplifying our management of permissions for APIs. We are not directly exposing credentials, as we use tokens instead. It has made management easier and more secure, especially in a multi-user environment. The implementation of Microsoft Entra ID significantly improved secure access to applications and resources in our environment, primarily through the widespread use of single-sign-on. Managing API permissions became much easier, as application registration often involves calling an API to utilize services without directly exposing credentials, relying instead on token-based authentication. This streamlined approach benefits end-users by simplifying access while remaining transparent to them. Ultimately, my role focuses on ensuring a smooth and user-friendly experience, even if the underlying technology remains unseen by the end-users. Our company strongly emphasizes passwordless authentication, primarily through device-bound passkeys in Microsoft Authenticator. While administrators with high-privileged accounts utilize YubiKeys and passwords for tasks like accessing Microsoft Graph, we are actively transitioning all other users towards passwordless methods such as Windows Hello biometrics. This approach streamlines authentication and enhances security. Though initial deployment in 2022 presented challenges due to hardware limitations and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology has significantly improved and provides a simple and effective user experience.

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."

"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."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."

"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."

"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."

"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."

More Omada Identity pros

"The feature for signing documents is important to me."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."

"I would rate the support as ten out of ten."

"The security and infrastructure management features are the most valuable ones for us."

"What I appreciate the most about Microsoft Entra ID is that it integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products, which streamlines the process."

"It's very user-friendly for users."

"I'd rate Microsoft Entra ID a 10 out of 10 due to the extensive range and focus on security features."

"The scalability is good now, and I find it to be more stable and faster since scaling up to ESX."

"Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has improved our customers' security posture. Multi-factor authentication has two layers of authentication, which helps in case you input your credentials into a phishing website and then it has access to your credentials. So if they use your credentials, then you have proof on your phone that was sent to the end user."

"Single sign-on is the reason we use AD."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

Cons

"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."

"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."

"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."

"Functionality and usability could be improved."

"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."

"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."

"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."

"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."

More Omada Identity cons

"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."

"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."

"The custom role creation function could be improved as it's somewhat tricky to use."

"Microsoft Entra ID's impact on access and identity management is relatively limited."

"Azure Active Directory could be made easier to use. We have large amounts of data and storage. We are looking for video files and media content for applications, we will think about options, such as cloud storage or a CDN."

"We'd like to be able to link to non-Mircosft products, like Linux."

"ESAE management, especially the admin tools, could be improved. It should be built in by the vendor, and I shouldn't have to add patches or updates to connect to my domain directly. It should be added by default. The price could be better."

"There is a concept of cross-tenant trust relationships, which I believe Microsoft is actively pursuing. That is something which in the coming days and years to come by will be very key to the success of Azure Active Directory, because many organizations are going into mergers and acquisitions or spinning off new companies. They will still have to access the old tenant information because of multiple legal reasons, compliance reasons, and all those things. So, there should be some level of tenant-level trust functionality, where you can bring people from other tenants to access some part of your tenant application. So, that is an area which is growing. I believe Microsoft is actively pursuing this, and it will be an interesting piece."

"Having more training would be quite helpful."

"Overall, it's not a very intuitive solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"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."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"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."

"The pricing is okay."

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

"Omada is expensive."

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Licensing costs for Microsoft Entra ID remain a concern, especially with the price increases in 2023."

"If you're on Azure, it can be free or it's incorporated, at no extra cost, or it can become extremely complicated."

"I think we're on the E3 — I think it was about 35 dollars per user."

"It is very expensive. Its price should be lower. Price is the most important factor for Turkish people."

"The licensing cost is a bit prohibitive."

"Microsoft Azure AD has P1 or P2 licensing options, and it depends on the customer's needs. To use Conditional Access, you need to have the P1 license, and to use the PIN features, you need the P2 license."

"Licenses are based on the usage. There is no cap. It's based on the number of users we provision."

"The solution costs us 60,000 Rupees annually, just over $700, and there are no additional costs."
