Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview
The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.
Ranjan Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables our organization to manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution
The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface. One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

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."
"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."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"One Identity Manager offers identity-centric security, acting as a single source of truth by centralizing identity data for users, devices, and applications. It supports role-based access control and automatically assigns and reworks roles to minimize privileges."
"This solution has helped to increase employee productivity when it comes to provisioning users in our systems. This solution has been really been effective with our retail workers. It wouldn't be possible to onboard and manage our 40,000 store employees without it. The management of the solution is pretty automated."
"The solution helps with application auditing and compliance as well as access decisions."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"It's role-based access control, and you can manage it. It's perfect for our customer's governance control."
"I like the solution since it is very flexible, and I can basically do everything that I like and need with it."
"It's very easy to roll out."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager is it simplifies user-account provisioning and administration. One Identity offers a comprehensive range of solutions that cater to almost every aspect of the identity and access management domain."
"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"The product is flexible to use."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
 

Cons

"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"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."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."
"How One Identity Manager deals with disconnected systems needs improvement."
"The technical support is non-existent. It is not worth talking about."
"There are occasional issues with the UI or errors when servers are not up and running, often requiring a restart from cache memory and other related areas."
"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."
"I would like it to have an easier integration with phones."
"One Identity has a self-service portal but many customers need a helpdesk where they can go in and request. To make that happen we need to do a lot of customization. Maybe that could be improved..."
"The user experience is good, but it can be improved. There are a lot of features in the administration part, and they need better documentation. For example, they need to explain the main reason for a feature, and what the tables are in the database. It needs better documentation about all the features that are in the solution."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada is expensive."
"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."
"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"We pay yearly and per active user. One of the reasons that we chose One Identity Manager is because of the pricing. It is reasonable and affordable compared to other products which we considered before choosing this solution for the company."
"One Identity Manager is cost-efficient."
"I believe the pricing is fair."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"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."
"One Identity Manager is fairly priced."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
