Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."User-friendly solution."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."
"SAML 2.0."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
