The solution has sped up employee onboarding while reducing manual work
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. We can also efficiently remove permissions when employees leave. We disable the account and remove permissions 30 days later. Before we went live, we collected all the Active Directory data. When we compared it to our HR data, we saw hundreds of accounts that were still active, though they were already terminated. I don't have the exact numbers, but it must have been hundreds of user accounts that were disabled and eventually deleted because of it. Omada provides regular information and invitations to participate in the roadmap and see what's coming up. They also organize an annual user group. This year, we are participating in the German-speaking user group.

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

"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."
"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."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"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."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"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."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"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."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"Omada is expensive."
"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 competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"There were a lot of administrator, partner, and supplier accounts for people who were no longer working for us but still in the system. So, we reduced the number of users no longer with the company, which saved us some money on licensing."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
