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."

"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"The web GUI can be improved."

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."
