It helps us onboard and offboard users more efficiently, but the configuration is complex and the UI could be better
We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because of automation and standardization. It decreases the work for admins while boosting user productivity. I would estimate that we've reduced admin work by about 30 percent. Omada's identity analytics also help us make informed decisions more efficiently and reduce the cost of our IGA program a little. We can also automate the disabling of user accounts when employees leave to prevent unauthorized access.

Easy to use and ensures that end users have the correct program rights and access
I would rate my experience with the initial setup as two out of ten, with ten being easy because the information and sources available on the Internet are not very good. Our organization primarily uses on-premises solutions. We are a conservative organization, and timing is less important than quality. So, the deployment took several days. Integration with other systems: We have a complex structure. The first step is our Active Directory solution, and then we have connections with the mentioned Microsoft technologies to facilitate access to rooms and program rights. We use cards to facilitate this. When we have a new employee, the first step is to ensure they get a dataset in the Active Directory.

Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful, but the UI doesn’t enhance the user experience
Saviynt is an identity management tool Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful. The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience. I do not know if the issue is with the product or how it was implemented. We have had the solution in our organization for a couple of years. It's always…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"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."
"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. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"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 is a stable product. You will experience some issues with it, but it's a good product."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"It is one of the easiest products to implement, which is one of the main advantages. The integration is easy. Unlike other products, it is not complicated to integrate."
"The product allows us to track the logins easily."
"The concept is primarily for the people in the business. In business, you can discuss how integrating all the services and resources within the company can bring numerous benefits."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that I can use it to track who is sending which email, who is accessing which documents or which files, etc. These tools help me improve security within the enterprise environment."
"MIM's most valuable feature is its connectivity with Exchange."
"Its interface and the fact that it's integrated with everything in the Microsoft ecosystem are the most valuable features."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."
 

Cons

"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"The product could be more friendly for non-native English speakers. It would also be better if it were more intuitive and visually attractive."
"Microsoft Identity Manager has shown a strong focus on cloud solutions, but it could improve its support for legacy products and on-premise infrastructure. Legacy applications or solutions are often not fully supported, which can be a limitation for customers with existing on-premise setups. The emphasis on cloud-based solutions is beneficial for modernization as it is crucial to address customers' needs relying on legacy systems. Microsoft should address the gap in support for legacy products to ensure a more comprehensive and inclusive approach."
"The product's pricing and integration features could be improved."
"Some valuable features might go unused because they are not well-documented or connected clearly in user guides."
"The documentation could be better."
"The governance reporting of the solution can be improved, as it can be difficult to get good, intelligible reports. Microsoft could implement an API of some sort to allow report customization or some form of SQL model, to further customize modules and improve the reporting. That would be a major improvement to the product."
"In terms of the identity and access management solution for on-premises environment, I think Microsoft needs to eliminate or minimize the number of workloads for the solution to run in on-premises environment."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"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."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"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 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 too expensive. We are in the automotive industry. The pricing might be high because most of the other customers are in the insurance or banking sectors, but it's steep for an auto supply company."
"MIM is free with a Microsoft Azure license."
"The solution is included in the Microsoft E3 license and premium subscriptions of Azure AD."
"Microsoft Identity Manager comes with the premium or community license. If the customer doesn't have a premium license, the reseller who sells the licenses of Microsoft to the enterprise can extend the license for the client."
"The prices can always be improved. I'd rate it a 4 out of 10 in terms of pricing."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The solution is expensive."
"My rating for the pricing of Microsoft Identity Manager is average, neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"When comparing the cost, Microsoft Identity Manager is the best solution because it is free if you have an Azure P2 license."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
