We performed a comparison between CA Identity Suite [EOL] and Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 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 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."
"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never forgets. Everything you have done in the past is recorded in Omada. The system is only as good as the data you put in. If you have bad data, you will have bad results. Omada has a lot of logic and processes, but it isn't a machine learning system that can detect, for example, if an email address is written wrong."
"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."
"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."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"I found all of them quite valuable, especially the identity manager, governance, and identity portal. All the features are helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the re-certification campaign capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of implementation. Now with the Virtual Appliance, it's much faster. In the past, to implement this kind of solution, it would take so many weeks. Now, it takes one day, or minutes, and we have the deployment ready."
"With the Virtual Appliance, combined with CA Identity Manager and GovernanceMinder as one solution, it eliminates having multiple infrastructure requirements, multiple products, and gives a holistic view of the access granting."
"Nowadays it is offered as a Virtual Appliance, and that saves considerable time for installing and controlling it."
"You can spin up IDM or Identity Suite in a few hours and it is ready to use."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration with FortiGate, FortiToken, FortiTalk, and multi-factor authentication."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"The most valuable features are the performance and ease of use."
"FortiAuthenticator is a very good solution. It is all jury-based. FortiAuthenticator is very easy for anyone to understand how it works and be able to take action."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"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."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"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."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"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."
"The documentation can be improved because sometimes we have some technical issues that were not documented and we have to rely on support to solve them. Then there are issues around getting the architecture, but it's challenging to get the architecture."
"If there was a seamless integration between portal and IdentityMinder, then that would help a bit."
"I would like synchronization when a mapping is added between end points. Currently, the synchronization is not complete. It would be great if this synchronization happened immediately."
"The connectors for the identity and governance part could use some improvement, by way of adding more areas. They need more development to cover more target applications."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"We've had some issues with integration."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"There are some protocols, such as SHA and SHA-2, that are not supported."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
