Helped improve entire security culture, around identities, in our company
There are some technical bits and pieces that we have looked at that could be better. For instance, when you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated. Right now, all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed. This makes it hard to understand the situation before you started it, compared to after. This is one of the key features that I'm really missing. Also, the onboarding of applications could be easier. There could be workflows to go through the entire process of onboarding a new system or application, instead of having to go to three places to do it. Those are the two key improvements needed. Also, the connectors for the applications that we use are good, but not fantastic. This is constantly improving. Recently, they added a ServiceNow integration, so there are still new connectors coming. But there are a few systems that I would like to see on the list, systems that are not there today. We have two ERP systems: SAP and something called Infor M3, and the latter is not there. It's okay, though. Maybe some of the other companies we evaluated have even more connectors, but Omada was good enough for us.

Scalable access governance system that removes manual approvals and makes teams more productive
We use this solution for identity governance and to understand who has access to what and whether that access should be granted or not. We also use it for access to recertification automation which provides a complete report of who has what access in the organization at the press of a button. We…

Allows for seamless integration and provides a unified login experience
The use cases depend on various factors, such as the integration of Microsoft front end and the authentication aspect. We can use Microsoft authentication to secure applications like SuccessFactors or any other SAP application. Alternatively, we can use SAP directly for authentication. We can use…

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 feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"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."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"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."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."
"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."
"The setup process is straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."
"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."
"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."
"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"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."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"The product must improve its support."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"The connectors should be improved."
"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."
"The pricing could be better."
"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."
"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"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."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"The solution is not cheap."
"It is affordable licensing."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."
