Identity governance has automated lifecycle workflows and strengthens access risk control
Omada Identity has a very good and easy automated onboarding and offboarding process which provisions correct system access from day one when employees or contractors join, and it automatically revokes their access and prevents orphan accounts when they leave. It provides role-based transfers which seamlessly upgrade user permissions when individuals change departments or roles, ensuring they only have the privileges necessary for their new positions. For risk mitigation and intelligent analytics, it leverages machine learning to uncover vulnerabilities, recommends appropriate access roles, and flags anomalous user behavior before it becomes a security threat. Omada Identity also extends strict governance controls and life cycle tracking to AI agents, service accounts, and API keys, securing the expanding IT infrastructure. It allows businesses to map their paper-based approval process into automated drag-and-drop digital workflows without relying on complex custom coding and provides a centralized self-service portal for employees to request temporary or permanent access to specific applications with proper approval from one or two level approvers, which includes built-in routing to the correct approvers. The value received from Omada Identity at the start was significant, particularly due to its codeless configuration, allowing us to map our approval process into automated drag-and-drop digital workflows without excessive complexity. For access requests, we established a centralized self-service portal to manage temporary or permanent access requests with appropriate approvals. Omada Identity uses machine learning to uncover vulnerabilities, recommending access roles and flagging anomalous behavior before it becomes a threat, providing confidence through initial POCs leading to a complete deployment.

Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management
WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Another unique benefit of Omada is their accelerator pack, which can propel you from zero to a working environment with basic configurations in about twelve to fourteen weeks."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"Omada Identity has helped us consolidate solutions for access management as they provide access request concepts, access reviews, and different types of access reviews that can be used."
"Omada Identity has positively impacted my organization as we have quite a lot of customers being satisfied and remaining connected to us for very long periods because of how satisfied they are with the product."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"The Identity Server has been able to manage our complete user base with ease - including authorization and authentication."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On, and overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"I use this solution to generate keystores and certifications and link these with project development in our company."
 

Cons

"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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 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"
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
"First, improvements have to been made in the high availability architecture. This has to do with the master-slave replication, and how the load balancing is handled between the identity servers."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"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 licensed per managed user per year."
"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."
"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."
"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."
"At this time we are working with the open-source version."
"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."
