Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
Omada Identity's high initial cost is offset by reduced maintenance costs, improved security, and process efficiency, but ROI measurement is challenging.
Sentiment score
7.0
One Identity Safeguard enhances security and compliance, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance, reducing risks, and improving operational efficiency with substantial ROI.
Any PAM solution, when I deploy it well and customers use it, leads to a return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Omada Identity's technical support is praised for responsiveness, but outdated documentation and inconsistent response times pose challenges.
Sentiment score
6.5
One Identity Safeguard’s customer service is praised for responsiveness and efficiency, but standard support faces mixed reviews.
We do not contact their technical support directly because we have a service agreement already in place with them with some dedicated and some non-dedicated resources.
I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is praised for its scalability in cloud and hybrid environments, despite minor performance and customization feedback.
Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is stable, with minimal issues, occasional bugs, and high ratings for reliability and performance.
Sentiment score
7.5
One Identity Safeguard is highly stable and reliable, with minor issues promptly addressed through regular updates.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
 

Room For Improvement

Omada Identity needs UI improvements, better scalability, integration, documentation, and cost-effective upgrades, with enhanced API and automation.
One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
 

Setup Cost

Omada Identity offers cost-effective on-premises pricing, though cloud options are pricier, with flexible negotiations available for enterprises.
One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
They are lower than some of their competitors.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk.
 

Valuable Features

Omada Identity provides governance, customization, integration, and automation for efficient identity lifecycle management with advanced reporting and strong API connectivity.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.
Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view.

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.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.
