It helps us onboard and offboard users more efficiently, but the configuration is complex and the UI could be better

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 of automation and standardization. It decreases the work for admins while boosting user productivity. I would estimate that we've reduced admin work by about 30 percent. Omada's identity analytics also help us make informed decisions more efficiently and reduce the cost of our IGA program a little. We can also automate the disabling of user accounts when employees leave to prevent unauthorized access.

Flexible, easy to customize, and not too difficult to set up

The initial setup isn't so difficult. The product can be flexible in the build. You can easily customize the workflows. We can set everything up on the cloud, which makes things very easy. It can easily adapt to the PoC requirement and the set requirements on the app's online version The user…

Flexible tool with fast configuration and very good scalability

It has very good scalability. We can easily include the tenants and do the networking in AWS or Azure, depending on where it has been deployed. Saviynt is better for medium size clients, and we have about 50,000 users. It can be implemented for 500,000 people or even 2000. However, the solution does not work very well as the number of users increases. We only require two people for deployment and maintenance. We have plans to increase our usage because when we want it to connect to the other SaaS applications, we will be able to connect to SaaS products better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."

More Omada Identity pros

"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."

"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."

"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."

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

"This solution is easy to configure."

"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

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

"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."

"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."

"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."

"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."

"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."

"Considering the initial cost and the basic features, this is a good solution that provides integration with both on-premise and cloud applications."

"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

More Saviynt pros

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."

"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."

"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 reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."

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

"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."

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."

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

More Omada Identity cons

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."

"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."

"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."

"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."

"The connectors should be improved."

"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."

"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."

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

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."

"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 biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."

"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."

"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."

More Saviynt cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"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."

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

"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."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."

"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"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."

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"They are expensive."

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

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
