Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."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."
"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 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 customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"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 Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"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."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"SAML 2.0."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"Using the implementation guide, I was able to implement the solution with ease."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"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."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"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 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."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"They provide a framework to develop your own connectors. A connector is a piece of software that integrates with the solutions that are not a part of the support matrix. Currently, it is difficult to create these connectors in this solution. Other solutions, such as NetIQ Identity, provide a better way to create your own connector. Currently, there is no cloud version. It should have a cloud version."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
