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 most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Features the addition and removal of access as needed for the VPN."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator are easy to configure, secure, and the application has good performance."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is an easy-to-use solution."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"The product is good, cost-effective, and functionally efficient."
"It is very stable. We have never had any issues with this solution."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"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."
"For improvement, Fortinet needs to ensure that they provide quick support to users...Fortinet sometimes needs to respond to users facing issues within an hour."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"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."
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"The hardware aspect of the solution could be improved. We are not really able to understand the hardware capabilities of the device."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
