We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company.""I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is.""You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging.""When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account.""This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases.""I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful.""We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well.""All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."

"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation.""Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability.""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 for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors.""The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses.""The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control.""Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process.""Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."

Cons
"NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well.""We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS.""The initial setup has room for improvement.""The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring.""Technical support is horrible.""With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard.""They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution.""The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."

More NetIQ Identity Governance Cons →

"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement.""There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system.""We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud.""The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides.""They need to improve the cost for small companies.""In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent.""I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now.""I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's expensive relative to the cloud solutions that are out there."
  • "I give the cost a nine out of ten."
  • "In terms of pricing, the tool seems a bit cheaper compared to other SaaS solutions."
  • More NetIQ Identity Governance Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is too high for SMBs."
  • "Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
  • "The initial total cost of ownership to implement Omada Identity is not small. The TCO for the implementation is as high as any other solution. However, the cost of maintaining the solution is at par or lower than competitors, including adding more features or maintaining the system after the initial deployment or installation to make sure that they are available for users to use or extending the functionalities of those activities. Those maintenance costs are lower than other vendors, but the initial cost of getting the system installed is still high."
  • "It is licensed per managed user per year."
  • "There were a lot of administrator, partner, and supplier accounts for people who were no longer working for us but still in the system. So, we reduced the number of users no longer with the company, which saved us some money on licensing."
  • "It's a fair price for the on-premises system. Compared with what we had before, it's much cheaper and we get all the modules in one. We tried to go with the cloud, but it was far too expensive."
  • "From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."
  • "My client deals directly with the Omada Identity team in terms of licensing. I never look at pricing, so I'm not aware of how much the solution costs, but it's worth the money. Often, when you begin to use Omada Identity and it takes a while to set up, it'll be irreversible, and you'd depend on and focus more on the functionality of the solution, rather than its price tag."
