Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."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."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"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."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"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."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"I work a lot with Fortinet products and I call the support often. They are very quick to respond and the support is very good."
"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."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"This is a scalable product."
"Simple to deploy, simple to use, and user-friendly."
"The product's on-premise version doesn't have recurring costs."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"We use this product for SSL two-factor authentication and FortiToken management."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"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."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"I would like to see more ways to authenticate, such as adding facial recognition to the two-factor, where you log into your phone or another device."
"The user interface needs improvement."
