We performed a comparison between IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence and Microsoft Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SailPoint, One Identity and others in Identity Management (IM)."The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."
"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"Lifecycle management, governance and documentation."
"I would rate the price eight out of 10, with 10 as the best value for money."

"The feature that I find most valuable is the security layer of the identity and access management solution. The ability to secure on-premises and cloud-based workloads and to provide seamless authentication into hybrid workloads, which is also both on-premises and in cloud environments."
"I appreciate how Microsoft keeps adding new features to Microsoft Identity Manager."
"What makes this solution attractive is the licensing model. Microsoft Identity Manager is included in premium versions of Azure AD and in enterprise agreements such as E3. This makes the solution very attractive to many of our clients who are subscribed to those products."
"The features that we find most valuable are security, mobility, and Single Sign-On."
"The product’s simplicity and integration are valuable."
"Microsoft integration products are strong. That is what I like about the product."
"Very powerful synchronization tool."
"MIM's most valuable feature is its connectivity with Exchange."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. 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."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"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."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"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."
"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."
"Self service center is not always easy to understand."
"The solution is a bit pricey for some regions."

"It requires a lot of improvements. Microsoft is killing this product and migrating some of the features to Azure AD. The last version of this solution was 2016. If it is going to stay and integrate with Azure AD, its integration needs to be worked on in terms of connectors, etc. It doesn't seem that they are improving it alone. Microsoft wants to integrate it with Azure AD, but the integration is still not complete."
"The prices can always be improved, and the integration with the software from other vendors could use an improvement, especially if you are using something like Oracle for a database, SAP for ERP, or something like that."
"The security could be slightly improved."
"They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis."
"The setup was difficult. The deployment process is not quick."
"All actions require logging in to the server."
"Some valuable features might go unused because they are not well-documented or connected clearly in user guides."
"MIM's reliability could be improved."
