We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] and Symantec Identity Governance and Administration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."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."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"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."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"SAML 2.0."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"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."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"Using the implementation guide, I was able to implement the solution with ease."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"The scalability potential is there if a company needs to expand."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"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."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"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 backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"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."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"The reporting functions."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
