Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"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."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"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 most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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 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."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The scalability potential is there if a company needs to expand."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"I like that it is easy to diagnose. It has a version of a virtual appliance so we can download it, run it, configure it, and it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to configure the cluster or so."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"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."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"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."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"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."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"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."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
