We performed a comparison between NetIQ Identity Manager and One Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"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."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."
"The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel."
"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of NetIQ Identity Manager for identity synchronization is the ability to provide users with all necessary access on day one through automated provisioning, facilitated by approval workflows."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one."
"I like the eDirectory feature."
"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product."
"The portfolio view simplifies this process, eliminating the need to check through Tableau or other tools."
"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important."
"For the recertification and segregation of duties, it's easier to know all the information about our employees. If we need to delete some information, we can do it from a central point, then it can be deleted on all our searches. This is very good for GDPR."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"The best feature is that it's customizable. For example, we can create any kind of product or custom service within an IT shop and customize it the way our customers need it. For the customers, it's the best. They are happy with it."
"The solution offers good integration with other environments such as SAP and Active Directory, et cetera."
"It's very flexible. You can customize it to the fullest extent. You can use it for almost every situation for every customer."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface."
"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue."
"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."
"The integrations must be made easier."
"If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement."
"NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date."
"The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."
"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"End-user UI customization is difficult and requires some knowledge of proprietary Angular technology. Every time a customer asks us: "Hey, can we modify this form in the UI?" or "Can we integrate a new form?" it's difficult to do. It's possible and we usually do it, but coding form changes typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the changes."
"I would like some access management features to be added. We have some customers with a small need to do authentication as a service, and there are other solutions on the market which offer this."
"The Metamodel is not developer-friendly, and the web designer customization could be simplified."
"The performance could use improvement. Sometimes synchronizations take too long."
"They could improve the support. Sometimes, you make a service request and don't get an answer. Then, sometimes, we don't get a response that we want, and it's frustrating."
"Right now, they run an on-prem solution. Our preferred solution for cloud is Azure. So, we have yet to determine how we want to take this forward, because at this time, we are only using Graph APIs to do some Azure-related actions."
"More integration with SAP and with the internet of things would be good. We also have system devices that we could manage as identities, so that would be a feature to add."
