Featured Reviews

Pernilla Hulth - PeerSpot reviewer
The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview
The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.
Sudalai Raja - PeerSpot reviewer
Manages access permissions effectively with role-based control and MFA
One of the most valuable features is the ability to create IAM users and add them to specific user groups to manage access permissions at a group level. It also provides MFA, which adds an additional layer of security. The solution supports role-based access control, allowing specific roles to be attached to AWS services like EC2, enabling automatic access to resources such as S3 buckets.
Ondrej Balun - PeerSpot reviewer
An open-source solution that helps in IAM
Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation. Users are granted access based on predefined roles associated with their positions, organizational hierarchy, or job titles. Instead of direct assignments, users automatically receive roles upon entering the company, aligning with their assignments. The core feature of EVOLVEUM midPoint that I find most valuable is provisioning. Users, including myself, can submit requests that need designated individuals' approval. Additionally, the recertification feature is crucial for regularly reviewing and confirming the appropriateness of user access rights. I find recertifications valuable because they align with clear regulatory requirements for companies to perform them at least once yearly. Using the product, I can initiate a recertification campaign by selecting users and the applications to be recertified. I define the individuals responsible for approving or rejecting access. The goal is to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The tool's flexibility in handling identity types and tickets has brought notable benefits. It provides full flexibility to extend attributes or the schema for users and organizations. Its audit and reporting capabilities have significantly enhanced our customer's compliance and security posture. Management's regular need for reports, such as the number of users in the application and identifying users with critical access, is addressed. The solution allows easy configuration of reports directly from the front end. Additionally, the ability to schedule and automate report execution, followed by automatic distribution to support or responsible personnel, streamlines the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"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 appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"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."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"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."
"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."
"From my experience, AWS Identity and Access Management is a strong solution."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"IAM is highly helpful for monitoring and privilege management."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"It also provides MFA, which adds an additional layer of security."
"I rate AWS Identity and Access Management ten out of ten."
"The most beneficial aspect of AWS Identity and Access Management is the ability to manage security."
"The ease of control and the ability to manage group policies and individual policies are valuable features."
"Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
"I like that it's open-source, and it's working. It has nice features, and it looks like it's easy to maintain."
 

Cons

"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"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."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"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."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"I would like to see scalability improvements in AWS Identity and Access Management, such as better integration with existing systems and applications."
"AWS Identity and Access Management has an intuitive user interface that is simple to use."
"Currently, the IAM solution does not allow one user to create multiple access and secret keys, which can be distributed in a diverse manner."
"There could be improvements in making the command line interface options clearer regarding the purpose of each selection."
"Workload management could be improved by providing temporary access."
"Currently, the IAM solution does not allow one user to create multiple access and secret keys, which can be distributed in a diverse manner. This feature would be beneficial."
"I would like to see scalability improvements in AWS Identity and Access Management, such as better integration with existing systems and applications."
"The accessibility and inclusion of more AI features would greatly enhance the program."
"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions—for example, the legal stuff and GDPR, and so on. But I think they are currently working on it."
"One area where I see room for improvement in EVOLVEUM midPoint is enhancing the user interface for configuration. Currently, a significant portion of the configuration involves technical, XML-based settings requiring a higher level of technical expertise."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"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."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."
Information not available
"The product is free to use, but a cost is associated if you opt for official product support. Additionally, there is an option for a platform subscription, which entails professional services provided by the vendor."
"We're EVOLVEUM partners, and I tried it without a license."
"Licensing is defined by the number of users."
