Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"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 feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"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."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"User-friendly solution."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"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."
"SAML 2.0."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"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."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"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."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"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."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"Reporting could be improved."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
