Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done.""The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control.""The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada.""The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities.""For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand.""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.""Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example.""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."

More Omada Identity Pros →

"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money.""Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."

More IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence Pros →

"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward.""The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management.""It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users.""Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful.""Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS.""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.""The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team.""We have found the implementation process to be very easy."

More Saviynt Pros →

Cons
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system.""Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality.""The Omada support response time has room for improvement.""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.""The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version.""I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now.""Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization.""The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

More Omada Identity Cons →

"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions.""Self service center is not always easy to understand."

More IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence Cons →

"The product's stability is not easy to maintain.""The tool is difficult to migrate.""Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet.""We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications.""The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company.""It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues.""It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part.""The technical support team's response time could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is too high for SMBs."
  • "Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
  • "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 licensed per managed user per year."
  • "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'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."
  • "From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."
  • "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."

  • More IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
  • "The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
  • "We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
  • "Saviynt has a competitive price."
  • "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."
  • "Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
