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.

Integration capabilities simplify authentication and migration challenges need addressing
The integration capabilities of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator are very interesting, as it can be integrated with third-party devices easily and is straightforward to configure. The integration with FortiToken is outstanding, adding a layer of security for authentication. In addition, it can be used by integrating with zero trust single access, enhancing overall security measures.
Pete Snell - PeerSpot reviewer
Staff and students can now reset their passwords using their enrolled two-factor device as the authentication mechanism
We've been a OneLogin customer for several years now. While I like the platform, there have been some challenges. A great example is the amount of work needed with that webhook for the enrollment user experience. This functionality is native to some competing products. That's one area where we've leaned on our account rep over the years. They shouldn't rely on the customer to make this experience better. This is one feature request that hasn't been implemented yet. At the same time, they've implemented other features we've requested. One is the ability to use a personal email address as a factor. Initially, they didn't have that. We pushed hard on our account team for about two years before it was finally released. It's a give-and-take. Some of the product's features aren't perfect, but we've had some success pushing fixes to the development team that needs to happen. They've done a decent job. However, there are some fixes that they don't have an interest in. A lot of what I described was before OneLogin was acquired by Quest/One Identity. Things have changed. It doesn't feel like they're driving the product as OneLogin was. It may be because it's a new product to them, and they're still trying to get the lay of the land, process feature requests, etc., but it's not moving as fast as before. We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications. The issues have high visibility. It's gotten better, but it's still there. It raises questions about whether One Identity can support the platform they've acquired. How are they enhancing the product? And how are they supporting the product and the service in the future? Those are two essential questions. There are also lots of nice-to-haves, but that's the case with any product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"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."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"User-friendly solution."
"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."
"The product's on-premise version doesn't have recurring costs."
"The most valuable features are the performance and ease of use."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"The most valuable feature is the OTP on the mobile phone."
"We use multi-factor authentication for enhancing security."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"The product enables SSO."
"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."
"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."
"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."
"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."
"OneLogin is efficient."
"Ease of integration with AD."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"Documentation."
 

Cons

"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"The solution could be more automated. It should be able to let me automate a lot of things so that what normally is done as a matter of manual processes can be handled quicker. Slow integrations can be taken up/out if there was more automation."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"The integration with third-party tools must be better."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"The technical support could be improved as some staff lacks the necessary knowledge to assist effectively."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."
"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."
"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."
"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."
"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."
"More off-hour support."
"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."
"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"The pricing is okay."
"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."
"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."
"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."
"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."
"Omada Identity offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."
"The price seems okay. It's not that expensive compared to other authenticators."
"The platform is cost-effective as it does not require a separate license for SD-WAN functionality."
"I rate its pricing a three to five out of ten."
"The pricing is fair."
"I price of the solution is expensive."
"It is usually cheap. Without a license, you can use some basic features. You can buy a 20-year license and implement the solution once."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a seven."
"It costs more to license the high-availability option."
"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
"The price of the licensing is fine."
"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
