We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and One Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"This solution is less time-consuming. We don't have to hire as many resources to give permissions to a particular user or group for any application."
"The solution's ease of use is one of its most valuable features."
"Microsoft Azure AD is easy to install and is a stable solution."
"Many of its features are valuable, including: facilitating application authentication, privileged access management, processes for attestation, and access reviews."
"It is cloud based so it is always updated,"
"What I like is that I can go anywhere, at any time, and to any client premise, and I can simply log in to the admin panel and can serve any of my clients."
"It helps us with maintaining enterprise identities."
"It gives the best user experience, enabling us an overview of all user entitlements."
"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"One Identity's biggest benefit is application integration."
"It is easy to extend the product for custom purposes."
"The product is flexible. For example, it offers cloud features."
"One Identity Manager offers several features that I found advantageous compared to other tools."
"It is a flexible because it is customizable. It allows you to build anything on top of it."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"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."
"The downside is that we now have all our eggs in one basket with Microsoft. We have this great authentication and single sign-on, but if Microsoft has an outage in North America or globally, on Outlook or Teams, we're dead in the water... We get some type of hiccup once a quarter."
"The workflow management for registering new applications and users could be improved."
"Everything should be in one package. There are so many different packages. They need to provide guidance because there are so many features and we don't know how to implement them in our organization."
"Some of the features that they offer, e.g., customized emails, are not available with B2C. You are stuck with whatever email template they give you, and it is not the best user experience. For B2C, that is a bit of a negative thing."
"An area where there is room for improvement is the ease of use of the dashboards."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Microsoft Entra ID's impact on access and identity management is relatively limited."
"Sometimes, what one customer may like, another may not like it. We have had customers asking, "Why is Microsoft forcing us to do this?" For example, when you use Exchange Server on-premise, then you can customize it for your company and these customizations are unlimited. However, if you use Exchange Online or with Microsoft 365, then your ability to make modifications is limited. So, only the cloud versus is limited."
"Integration with various applications should be made smoother. It is very difficult right now for regular implementers. Access reviews are another thing that is not that good in the solution. It needs improvement."
"There are several smaller parts of the tool that have room for improvement."
"I would like them to enhance the search functionality to enable faster processing when looking for objects."
"A tool called Analyzer is included to assist with birthright generation. The tool isn't very user-friendly."
"It should be able to give a client version of the product, rather than just a web-portal."
"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."
"The system role manager, or some of the roles that are inside Identity Manager, are limited to one user. It would be more flexible if these responsibility roles could be attached to many people."
"In the update processes for hotfixes need improvement."
