Provides a clear roadmap, offers a significant advantage over other solutions, and is stable

The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version. While our current version is outdated, attending user meetings with Omada might be beneficial to voice our needs and influence future updates. However, upgrading our current version isn't an option right now. Instead, we'll migrate our applications to the new Omada version to gain access to its improved reporting functionalities. This is due to our recent merger; the company I previously worked for used the older Omada version, while the new company utilizes the latest one. By migrating applications, we'll benefit from the new features, especially the enhanced auditing tools. These improved tools will allow auditors to generate reports themselves, saving us valuable time. It's great to know that Omada is already working on this functionality, making it a valuable addition for the future. While there's no immediate solution for our current version, the new Omada promises significant improvements.

Senior Specialist: Solution Architecture at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

Offers self-service for both access request management and password management but issues with customer support

From an Identity Manager perspective, we do have role-based access control for a portion of our users. However, the capability is not as mature as what you'd find in other products. It lacks advanced features like the ability to mine tools or make decisions based on the roles assigned to others, offering very basic role management capabilities. The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent. Introducing artificial intelligence to assist people and line managers in understanding what they are requesting or approving would be beneficial, enhancing the capabilities that are currently not as advanced as those in more popular products.

A cloud solution for identity management and access governance

Before making a decision, it's essential to align your primary goals with the long-term roadmap of your organization. Consider factors such as whether your organization is a government or private entity and where you envision your organization heading in the next five to ten years. While cost can be a significant factor, it's important to assess the value and features offered by SailPoint IdentityIQ in relation to your organization's needs and future direction. There have been many instances where we provided initial templates in building some of the connectors approximately eight or seven years ago. In response, my team developed a custom connector, which was reviewed and eventually incorporated into the SuccessFactors Connector by SailPoint. The previous version had limitations with subset deployments. SailPoint has introduced various solutions over time. For instance, they now handle deployment entirely, even for IdentityIQ, transitioning it into a SaaS application. SailPoint manages servers, applications, deployments, and server patches, relieving customers of these challenges. Customers access the product via a URL, focusing solely on utilizing it to address their needs. SailPoint continues to provide comprehensive solutions, including evolving IdentityIQ into a SaaS-capable platform, to support their customers' requirements. In terms of solving identity management and access governance challenges, SailPoint IdentityIQ is certainly a strong contender. However, it's essential to clarify your specific goals—are you focused solely on identity management and access governance, or do you also require access management and privileged access management solutions? Configuring IdentityIQ can be complex, requiring significant coding and effort, especially considering the intricacies of integrating with various target systems. The level of complexity can vary greatly depending on each system's specifications. Overall, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."

"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."

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

"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."

"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."

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

"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."

"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."

More Omada Identity pros

"The product is easy to use."

"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."

"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."

"I like the eDirectory feature."

"The most valuable feature of NetIQ Identity Manager for identity synchronization is the ability to provide users with all necessary access on day one through automated provisioning, facilitated by approval workflows."

"The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one."

"The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel."

"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."

More NetIQ Identity Manager pros

"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."

"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."

"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."

"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."

"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."

"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."

Cons

"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."

"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."

"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."

"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."

"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."

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

More Omada Identity cons

"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface."

"We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."

"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."

"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue."

"NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date."

"The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."

"The integrations must be made easier."

"If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement."

More NetIQ Identity Manager cons

"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."

"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."

"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."

"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."

"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."

"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."

"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."

"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"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."

"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."

"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 is expensive."

"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."

"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 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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."

"I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."

"You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."

"It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."

"The solution is quite affordable."

"Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."

"They are expensive."

"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
