Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"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 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."
"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 most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"SAML 2.0."
"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"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."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"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."
"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."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"Reporting could be improved."
