Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, SailPoint and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."The most valuable feature is that because it's all in the cloud, you don't need to manage the infrastructure."
"AWS Directory Service is secure."
"We can provide specific access to people based on what they need from our accounts."
"We like the fact that it's got such great redundancy."
"I like the manageability. Activate Connect makes it easier to assign information and to manage the resources in the network."
"AWS has eliminated the downtime we waste when our on-premises resources go down."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Directory Service is cost-cutting features."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."
"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."
"User-friendly solution."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"I would like to see better integration with other business solutions."
"Our only complaint is that you cannot integrate your Exchange server. Or, if you are planning to install an Exchange server on your Amazon EC2 instance, then you need to configure Active Directory on EC2 instance. We would like for this limitation to be lifted."
"I would like to grant partial access to a table contained in a database without having to provide full access to the whole database."
"The AWS Directory Service should be easier to integrate."
"The group policy can be improved."
"Some of the security protocols are difficult to understand."
"To get CloudWatch to monitor your memory and storage, you have to do some configuration within your server, which sometimes results in errors."
"We had a problem with the schema uploading and setting up the directory when we are migrating our users from on-premises to cloud infrastructure."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
