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.

Highly flexible and stable, but lacks in many aspects and requires a strong partner

In terms of providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, One Identity is not yet there. One Identity recently bought OneLogin. They already had Safeguard and One Identity Manager. They have started integrating these three tools. I am also on the customer advisory board (CAB) of One Identity, so I have more insight into these things. I know that they started to integrate OneLogin and One Identity just recently. OneLogin is their access management tool. They use it for authentication and for SSO. It is a competitor for Entra and Okta, whereas Safeguard is competing with CyberArk, Delinea, and BeyondTrust. One Identity has indeed done good integration between their three products. However, the platform is not unified. You still need three URLs, which is not optimal. They are going there, but it will take them time. The second thing they are not yet good at is their SaaS offering. They are behind in the market. They started with something in Safeguard, but it is a pretty basic offering. It is still a new baby. They have Safeguard On Demand, but it is just a hosted PAM solution. I did PoC for Safeguard twice. This is how I know this, but I have not used it. As PAM, Safeguard is a good product, but it is not a full-featured PAM like CyberArk or BeyondTrust. They are lacking in that aspect. The integration between One Identity's products is similar to BMC's integration. I used to work with BMC products such as BMC Remedy ten years ago. I used to be an ITSM or Control-M guy. When BMC integrated its products, the integration was not well done. It was like two different entities trying to integrate with each other rather than one company giving you a fully-fledged platform. The same thing is happening with One Identity Manager at the moment. They are selling it as a unified platform, but in my opinion, it is not yet good. It is also not bad. There are things that I can take from it, but there is no complete picture. The problem nowadays is that vendors are getting into each other's areas. For example, CyberArk used to be just a PAM provider, so people would integrate with it, but now, CyberArk wants to do the identity bit. It has now become a competitor for other vendors, so they will stop integrating with it. SailPoint, at some point, stopped integrating with CyberArk. SailPoint and CyberArk's integration was good. This is what is happening in the market or between vendors. All of them are getting into each other's area. If you happen to buy another product from a competitor, you need to integrate it on your own. There is no integration plug-in concept between them. This is a bit hard for companies that already have a PAM and they want to buy a new IGA, for example, or vice versa. They are trying to shift towards an Angular-based platform for their web portal or for IT Shop. That has been very long overdue because they did not modernize their web portal for almost three versions. They are doing it, but there is no feature parity till version 9.3, which is the upcoming version. This is a problem. For example, data governance is not included in 9.2 if you want to upgrade, but if you do not upgrade, you lose support. They have these issues with the roadmap in general. They give you options, but they are not always the complete options. To me, it seems that this company is going to suffer in the long run. Another issue is that for admin requests, we have to configure the tool at least in seven different clients, which is unacceptable. We are in 2024, not in 1981 or 1985. Having seven clients for the same tool, or more, is just unheard of. To me, that is a very old design idea. I am on the newest version 9.2, and I am still doing that. To me, that is a big problem as an admin. The relationship with the customers is extremely bad. That is not a technical problem. That is a company problem. They tried to fix that, but it seems they failed. They do not have the personnel. They have a hiring problem. They now rely on partners. They are a type of company where the partner is more of a vendor to you as a client rather than the company itself. If you want to pick any solution by One Identity, you need a very strong partner with you. If you do not, you will struggle with this product's adoption, roadmap, vision, and implementation. We struggle a lot as a client. I have been there. I have seen that. It is not easy with them. One Identity is based in Europe. Our account manager at One Identity resigned in May and till now, just to show how bad they are, we do not know who our new account manager is. We are in August. Their Starling Connect roadmap or flagship is a failure. We had to withdraw from using it with SuccessFactors, for example. It had a lot of stability issues. Now, my understanding is better, but it caused a bad implementation, so we are not using it. They are not investing a lot in enhancing or extending Starling Connect. They are using Starling Connect as a propagation gateway to SaaS apps so that you have One Identity Manager on-prem talking to Starling Connect which is handling all SaaS apps. However, the roadmap for Starling Connect is not clear. Now that they have bought OneLogin, OneLogin can do that as well as an IAM tool. You can now bring any IAM or CIAM tool such as Entra, Okta, or OneLogin. They can be your propagation gateway. OneLogin and Starling Connect are competing products, and they need to unify them. They cannot have both products doing the same thing. When I discussed this with the head of engineering from their side, they were still defending having Starling Connect. I do not understand why because if you have a proper IAM such as Entra or Okta, that is your propagation gateway. That is it. You can do everything you want with it. You can merge the functionality, and that is it. You do not need Starling Connect. To me, this is confusing. You use a propagation gateway like Starling Connect because it has ready plug-ins to connect to SaaS apps and you do not need to create a custom connector every time. If you look at the number of apps that One Identity supports with Starling Connect, there are not more than 50, which is not a lot. There is a big difference when you compare it to Okta Marketplace or Entra Marketplace. You will immediately understand the difference. OneLogin's marketplace is better than Starling Connect, but OneLogin was not a part of One Identity before, so they had their own marketplace. Overall, the Starling Connect roadmap does not make sense to me. They need to remove the dependency on VB.NET for backend development and they need to unify the front end. If they are selling it as a unified product, they need to give me a unified UX. This is something I have mentioned to Mark Logan himself. This is how ServiceNow won over Remedy. Having a unified UX and being able to turn on or off a feature is better than trying to connect three or four different products with different contracts. To me, the main thing is that they need to modernize their application. Once we do that, making it SaaS is doable.

Updates systems quickly and does not have a limit on the number of users

NetIQ does not have a limit on the number of users. The tool is secure by nature. It can have more than one billion users. Event-based systems know what has to be changed. SQL-based systems can only change using time and date. Event-based systems provide immediate results, while SQL-based systems need time to sync. It is totally different from a security perspective. Event-based systems can update all the systems in seconds or minutes. Other systems do it within 24 hours. The basic event-based system is AI-driven. It has some kind of robotics and programming. Other tools need programming. I like systems that have prebuilt ideas of security. NetIQ has been in the market for a long period. It has all the systems and connectors. There is not much coding. We just need to configure the products. We need not do any programming. I haven't seen any other product that needs only configuration to do the job. Most products in the market are SQL-based. They need programming. Some service providers who sell other products to customers do not sell NetIQ because they can make more money by selling solutions that need more consultancy and programming. More hours lead to more money.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."

"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."

"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."

"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."

"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."

"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."

"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."

More Omada Identity pros

"The solution is a typical, conventional IGA but the tool itself offers many options for customization."

"The main benefit of One Identity is process management. Processes are easier to handle. With the police, if a forensic editor or examiner goes to the field and gets all the data, he would need to go to another office with his flash drive and all of those devices."

"It has a lot of depth. It has advanced features. As a customer or as someone who is managing the solution, I like its self-service capabilities where it has lots of powers, and the users can select any reference users."

"The most valuable features are the behavior, configuration, and customization options."

"One Identity Manager simplifies user operations and provides security features, including automatic blocking of inactive accounts and timely access revocation."

"This is almost a complete solution for us."

"The solution is flexible. You can customize it a lot. You can can build connectors, connecting them to a new application, and so on."

"One Identity Manager offers a wide range of connectors, allowing it to interface with multiple target systems and perform provisioning and de-provisioning tasks within them."

More One Identity Manager pros

"NetIQ does not have a limit on the number of users."

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

"I like the eDirectory feature."

"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."

"The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."

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

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

More OpenText Identity Manager pros

Cons

"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."

"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."

"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."

"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."

"The Omada support response time has 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'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."

"Omada Identity is definitely not better than both Saviynt or SailPoint, so we are struggling and having issues with everything."

"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."

More Omada Identity cons

"The tool to develop the web portal needs improvement."

"The user interface design could be improved, especially during checkout and navigation."

"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."

"The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification."

"There is an area for improvement when it comes to intuitiveness. It has the ability to manage everything and does that fairly well, but that also causes a risk of drowning end-users in complexity."

"Support often lacks experienced technical personnel, resulting in long wait times and unhelpful solutions."

"The initial setup was complex."

"Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license."

More One Identity Manager cons

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

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

"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."

"The vendor must provide an easier console for configuring things for smaller customers."

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

"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."

"The integrations must be made easier."

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

More OpenText Identity Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

"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 offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."

"Omada is expensive."

"It's a fair price for the on-premises system. Compared with what we had before, it's much cheaper and we get all the modules in one. We tried to go with the cloud, but it was far too expensive."

"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 Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."

"My clients have been using it for a long time now. They have looked at other products as well, so it seems worth the price."

"The licensing cost is per user."

"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."

"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."

"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."

"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."

"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."

More One Identity Manager 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."

"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."

"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 solution is quite affordable."

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