Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SailPoint, One Identity and others in Identity Management (IM)."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."
"User-friendly solution."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"Self-registration and self-service password management are valuable features. The role modeling feature is also very useful. It allows you to model your enterprise role."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"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."
"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"
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"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 web GUI can be improved."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"Reporting could be improved."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
