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.

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 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 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."

"User-friendly solution."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."

"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."

"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."

"Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform. The product offers robust handling of Active Directory resources."

"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 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."

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

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

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

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

"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."

"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

"The solution’s stability and performance are good."

"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"

"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."

"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."

"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."

"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

Cons

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

"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."

"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."

"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."

"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."

"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."

"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."

More Omada Identity cons

"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."

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

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"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."

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

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

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

"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."

"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."

"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."

"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"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."

"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."

"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."

"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."

"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
