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.

Provides robust identity governance with deep customization and advanced integration for complex environments

One Identity Manager is a very robust tool with plenty of out-of-the-box features in the identity and access management space, and it is very easy to customize and fits for very complex platforms. For multinational companies or those with various locations managing their identities and applications, it is very easy and very robust in nature. It also helps streamline aspects of application governance, including access decisions, compliance, and auditing. It has a module called access recertification or attestation for recertification and a robust segregation of duties engine, as a governance platform that collects data and provides a variety of dashboards for management. One Identity Manager provides IGA for difficult-to-manage aspects of SAP, and I can manage by assigning profiles, roles, and groups. There's also a role-in-role concept where I can assign a role to another role. One Identity Manager delivers SAP-specialized workflows and business logic. For example, if my SAP solution is integrated with SAP GRC and I want to request a segregation of duties check with GRC before provisioning an SAP role, all those tasks can be done in One Identity Manager. It is easy to manage and provides a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users' data and privileged accounts, but one must know the product. Learning One Identity Manager takes some time, around four to five months, but once learned, managing applications such as SAP or Active Directory becomes easy. One Identity Manager helps minimize gaps in governance coverage for test, dev, and production servers, and it provides internal deployment tools that make it straightforward to manage code across different environments.

Streamline identity lifecycle management with intuitive interfaces and robust policy features

The functions of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, especially the IGA, are quite strong with their custom forms and workflows integrated. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall. However, it still has to be on-premise and the cloud version is not easily accessible, as dedicated instances are required and machines cannot be shared as multi-tenant for various customers. The advanced policy features of RSA definitely help in defining certain policies such as segregation of duties. That's particularly useful along with creating different access reviews. Regarding access control in simplifying access management, RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle has strong foundations of groups and roles, which help in defining all policies very easily. This makes it very easy to integrate with other access management tools or privileged access management tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."

"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."

"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 One Identity birthright process has helped generate user accounts more accurately and quickly."

"The most valuable feature for me is the built-in security, which is the best that I have seen."

"It gives the best user experience, enabling us an overview of all user entitlements."

"We no longer keep users who shouldn't exist."

"I like One Identity's reporting features and the single sign-in option. Users can skip multiple logins. It also gives us a centralized system that lets us know about a user's access. This is an automated process. If a user leaves the company, One Identity will ensure their application access will be removed after a certain date. When the user joins a company, it ensures all privileges are created and active by the start date."

"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is its object-oriented architecture."

"The best feature of this solution is its flexibility to be customized. It is like a framework. You can customize it very far from its core functionality, and it will still work."

"One Identity has the biggest out-of-the-box functionality set. I've worked with other platforms like SAP that have a lot of features, but One Identity Manager is on top."

More One Identity Manager pros

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."

"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."

Cons

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."

"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."

"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."

"There is room for improvement in Omada Identity, primarily in customization for administrators; many custom tasks require contacting providers even for simple changes."

"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."

"They need to improve the cost for small companies."

"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."

"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 downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."

"The interface can be a bit complex for an administrator to manage."

"There are a few aspects of One Identity Manager's user experience that could be improved."

"The reporting and auditing functionalities within One Identity Manager could be enhanced, particularly in the reporting area, which would benefit from a wider range of pre-built reports."

"One area that could be improved is the speed of performance - it's often a bit slower because of the size of its database."

"They need to remove the dependency on VB.NET for backend development and they need to unify the front end."

"One Identity Manager's support model has room for improvement, especially when compared to competitors like Omada and SailPoint, which offer a more extensive global presence and support network."

"The support for DevOps could be improved with quick delivery cycles and multiple delivery streams."

More One Identity Manager cons

"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."

"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."

"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."

"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."

"The pricing is okay."

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"It was okay for us. It was not too much for us. It was nearly the same as other products. It was not expensive."

"There are old processes that are really great for some people and look like pieces of artwork. However, the maintenance of them is really expensive."

"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."

"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."

"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is okay."

"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."

"One Identity Manager's pricing is competitive and in line with what other companies offer."

More One Identity Manager pricing and cost advice

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."

"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
