We performed a comparison between One Identity Manager and Symantec Identity Governance and Administration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."
"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"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."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable feature, the way we can customize the user interface and the workflow processes."
"One Identity Manager is user-friendly and easy to customize. One Identity's business roles enable me to map company structures for dynamic application provisioning, which is fairly important."
"At the time of the onboarding, this is solution that we have interfacing with HR. On the same day an employee is hired, an account is created and available for the manager when the end user arrives. The opposite is true. The moment employment is terminated, the same day everything is disabled, then later deleted."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"It is flexible with APIs and the customizing of a portal."
"There are a lot of valuable features, including connectors, attestations, and workflow."
"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."
"One Identity Manager's account creation feature stands out as its most valuable functionality."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Governance."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"The scalability potential is there if a company needs to expand."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"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."
"They need to improve the cost for small companies."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"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."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"One Identity Manager can be made more user-friendly for end users."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."
"The tool to develop the web portal needs improvement."
"I would like it to have an easier integration with phones."
"It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"I would like to have more extensive out-of-the-box reports."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
"The drawback with the CA Identity Manager is they don't have a connector to HR systems like SAP, or PeopleSoft, or Workday. That's a major drawback with the CA Identity Manager. For that we have to do lots of custom quoting to get data from HR systems. And if they could connect it to GRC systems, that's good to have in an identity product."
"A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"The product's technical support could be better."
