Featured Reviews

Faced deployment delays and daily errors but have streamlined access reviews and improved termination processes
The deployment of Omada Identity is complex; the product is not brilliantly documented, and it lacks the same level of documentation that could be found for systems such as SailPoint or Saviynt, making it harder to find material or help online, particularly with Omada Cloud. The system performance of Omada Identity is inconsistent; we've been analyzing this issue together with Omada, but we haven't been able to resolve whether the problem lies on their side or my client's side, which causes long response times and long run times in Omada sometimes. Omada Identity does not help deploy IGA within 12 weeks; the time frame for applying the rapid deployment solution was much longer than expected, and I am unsure if it is built on best practices across all systems. When we receive an error or system message from Omada Identity, it's very hard to decode what it means; we have had serious issues in daily imports that we can't explain, indicating a need for improved stability. The comprehensiveness of out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides differs; the connectors for Microsoft and Salesforce are good, but for SAP, they are basically non-existent.

Simple to use, easy to set up, and performs well
I'm not saying that we want to switch the product, however, since the requirement has increased, we are looking at other options that may be better suited. The scalability may not there. We have a few specific use cases where we have to avoid the cloud. Especially in Europe, we're not allowed to carry their phone in factories. We need some sort of secure access solution. There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure. I am paying to SafeNet and in parallel, I also need to pay Microsoft to use the same service. That makes no sense, to pay double. If they could do something about it, that would be very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"The best features of Omada Identity include its cloud version, which is really fast, and I appreciate the main menu and overall look of the features; it is really user-friendly and easy for the users to understand what they want."
"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 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 interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The solution is simple to use."
 

Cons

"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"The stability of Omada Identity needs improvement because we have experienced too many unexpected errors on a daily basis, causing significant trouble as we onboard more complex and business-critical systems."
"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 current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"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."
"Omada is expensive."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"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."
