We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and Omada Identity 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."For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is an easy-to-use solution."
"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"The first valuable feature is being able to see everything on one platform. This includes logs and authentication failure."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using the SMS messages."
"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 user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"There are some protocols, such as SHA and SHA-2, that are not supported."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"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."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
