We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and SailPoint IdentityIQ 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 support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"The ease of use is really nice. Using Authenticator, I've been able to actually work better on my authentication due to the fact that I have a single fabric to authenticate control from my firewall and on my access points. Authentication takes place from this area."
"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."
"Fulfilled our requirement at a good price."
"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"Valuable features include the robust SSO features, when you have more complicated authentication within an organization. We can mix AD, Radius, Portal, SSO Portals (Google, etc.), and build our own environment. It is very flexible."
"The initial setup is so easy and there is no problem in the implementation."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides only authentication. It should also enable authorization services"
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"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."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
