We performed a comparison between NetIQ Identity Manager and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"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 aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one."
"I like the eDirectory feature."
"The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel."
"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."
"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."
"The product is easy to use."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"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."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."
"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface."
"The integrations must be made easier."
"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue."
"We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."
"NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date."
"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."
"If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"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."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"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 UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
