Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SailPoint, One Identity and others in Identity Management (IM)."As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."
"User-friendly solution."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."
"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."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"It's very easy to roll out."
"The best feature is that it's customizable. For example, we can create any kind of product or custom service within an IT shop and customize it the way our customers need it. For the customers, it's the best. They are happy with it."
"Nobody has to put people in AD groups by hand anymore. It goes automatically and that's very good. It's also very flexible. It's quite easy to customize and we have customized it a lot."
"The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."
"The most valuable feature of One Identity Manager for me is its Designer tool."
"With this product, we been able to bring together HR, IT, and lifecycle management. It is very helpful for managing the Joiner/Mover/Leaver process. We also use it for compliance on all the audits which are around."
"The short version is that we gained significant insight into the issues of access governance. This allowed us to turn an auditing nightmare into praise from our auditors."
"This solution helps with compliance by having a way of controlling an audit trail, knowing how things are done, and knowing how to control who has access to what."
"The customer service and technical support are very good."
"One of the most important things is that it is very easy to use and install. It is also agentless, so all of the operations happen more smoothly than any other product."
"I like that One Identity Safeguard lets you configure the maximum number of connections to the target, a configuration I didn't find in its competitor."
"I have found the most useful feature of One Identity Safeguard to be Privileged Sessions."
"It's a good solution for managing identities under OneFile for authorization."
"Being able to use a proxy server is an advantage."
"We don't need to use VPN for remote access."
"The first feature I like about One Identity Safeguard is the live contact point for the VPNs. This has been working very well for us, as it's both highly available and reliable."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"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."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"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"
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"They could make the product more user-friendly. It takes a lot of work to build technical and business cases with the product. The solution is more complex than you think to use."
"It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization."
"End-user UI customization is difficult and requires some knowledge of proprietary Angular technology. Every time a customer asks us: "Hey, can we modify this form in the UI?" or "Can we integrate a new form?" it's difficult to do. It's possible and we usually do it, but coding form changes typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the changes."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk."
"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."
"Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work."
"A room for improvement in One Identity Manager is its analytics. Though it's getting better from version to version, the analytics feature still needs improvement. I would appreciate more analytical features in the next release of One Identity Manager, so I can do a better analysis. Another vendor, for example, has a self-certification system where you can send people, then create a type of profile or screen for each person, and the person can see his entitlement and the risks behind that entitlement, so then the person makes a decision on whether he wants to keep or let go of it, and that's an out-of-the-box feature that would be good to see in One Identity Manager. Another feature I'd like to see in One Identity Manager that would be very interesting is integration with SIEM or any log collection product for both access and usage. For example, I'd be able to see that I have access to a particular application and also get information on how many times I've accessed it in the last year, last few months, etc. It's a feature that would be great to have in One Identity Manager."
"We would like to be able to generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) from the interface for certificates."
"For some users, the physical appliance has been a bit buggy."
"When we compare One Identity Safeguard with Cyberark, we know CyberArk has other tools or other features that are more complex and more useful for the customers. For example, I have one customer that wants to elevate the permission that is available in CyberArk."
"One Identity Safeguard can improve by having more integration with multiple devices."
"It needs more marketing."
"We have issues using Safeguard to connect to and record from the cloud. Currently, they don't have a mechanism to record this type of connection."
"The multilanguage functionality does not support the Arabic language, even though this solution is deployed in an Arabic region."
"We have feature requests and would like to see the turnaround times on those features to be faster."
