One Identity has a theme that they want the right people to have the right set of access, and this is what they are able to provide with their tool.

Maintenance is necessary, and aside from that, if there are issues with Salesforce cloud, then Omada Identity may go down.

We do not contact their technical support directly because we have a service agreement already in place with them with some dedicated and some non-dedicated resources.

Everything is good, and I can give One Identity technical support a rating of ten.
Assistant Manager- Pre-sales ( IT-Enterprise Vertical ) at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees

Room For Improvement

Omada Identity needs UI, mobile, setup, role management, analytics improvements, error handling, better performance, connectors, and communication upgrades.
Enhancements needed in customization, scripting, workflows, Azure integration, pricing, change tracking, UI, and documentation for improved usability.
The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience.
Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is room for improvement in Omada Identity, primarily in customization for administrators; many custom tasks require contacting providers even for simple changes.
Identity Access Management (IAM) Engineer at Draexlmaier
The deployment of Omada Identity is complex; the product is not brilliantly documented.
Lead Cyber Security Architect at Ernst & Young
A way to connect to various directories and integrate with cloud directories would be beneficial.
Team Lead, Technical & Enterprise Directory Services Vita Program at AIS Network
Enhancements to the console are also necessary because it is more confusing than the web interface.
System Administrator at a healthcare company with 501-1,000 employees
The user interface needs to be more modern and scalable.
IAM Specialist
 

Setup Cost

Omada Identity pricing is fair but varies; cloud costs are higher, with negotiation possible for flexible pricing.
Enterprise users find One Identity Active Roles pricing high but justifiable, offering flexible licensing without strict user limits.
They are lower than some of their competitors.
Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
the product itself is said to have a good price, although the support can be expensive.

The pricing is high.
Team Lead, Technical & Enterprise Directory Services Vita Program at AIS Network
 

Valuable Features

Omada Identity streamlines identity management with automated provisioning, Microsoft integration, customization, and strong compliance and security features.
One Identity Active Roles enhances security and efficiency with automated provisioning, centralized auditing, and streamlined management across domains.
Omada Identity helps automate reviews of access requests and reroutes them to appropriate people, which is what it should do; it really assists in reducing the workload time.
Identity Access Management (IAM) Engineer at Draexlmaier
You can really do it codeless by creating a custom process with the process designer, adding the building blocks of the process designer into the process, and then getting it to work.
Owner at Fortigi
Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform.
Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
It's improved our security posture. It has limited access to our crown jewels, where all our identities lie within Active Directory.
IAM Specialist
It helps in removing custom Active Directory delegation, which enhances security by eliminating unnecessary privileges, addressing identity-based breaches by reducing the number of Active Directory delegations.
Head of Global Digital Identity Services at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
Dynamic groups are also one of the best features, eliminating the need to add or manage members manually.

Featured Reviews

Lars Henrik Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Cyber Security Architect at Ernst & Young
Faced deployment delays and daily errors but have streamlined access reviews and improved termination processes
The deployment of Omada Identity is complex; the product is not brilliantly documented, and it lacks the same level of documentation that could be found for systems such as SailPoint or Saviynt, making it harder to find material or help online, particularly with Omada Cloud. The system performance of Omada Identity is inconsistent; we've been analyzing this issue together with Omada, but we haven't been able to resolve whether the problem lies on their side or my client's side, which causes long response times and long run times in Omada sometimes. Omada Identity does not help deploy IGA within 12 weeks; the time frame for applying the rapid deployment solution was much longer than expected, and I am unsure if it is built on best practices across all systems. When we receive an error or system message from Omada Identity, it's very hard to decode what it means; we have had serious issues in daily imports that we can't explain, indicating a need for improved stability. The comprehensiveness of out-of-the-box connectors that Omada provides differs; the connectors for Microsoft and Salesforce are good, but for SAP, they are basically non-existent.

Task automation simplifies user and delegation management while offering a customizable interface
Currently, task automation, like provisioning, deprovisioning, and reprovisioning, is very effective. When a user moves from one organization to another, it automatically changes their group membership and performs similar functions. Secondly, the granular delegation feature is very nice and much simpler and easier than it is natively in Microsoft. Two years ago, One Identity Active Roles was under Dell. It was quite poor. However, now, there have been notable improvements, such as faster system processing, better logging, enhanced information, and a more user-friendly interface. Once it was sold by Dell, things got better. The interface became a bit more user-friendly. The Angular user interface is much more flexible for adjusting to customer needs, and a completely new and customizable one can be created, aligning with all settings and scripts required by a customer. The ease of managing on-prem and cloud-based directories through a single pane of glass is good. I'd rate it nine out of ten. The solution's ability to provision and deprovision resources and directories like Azure AD is very simple, especially when you can integrate with the HR system and grab some data from HR. It's actually fully automatic. I don't need to even touch it. It's helped increase operational efficiency by 50%. It's helped decrease security problems around privileged accounts. We were able to decrease the number of privileged accounts and have been able to delegate more effectively. We decreased the number of high-level permissions that administrators had. For example, if someone is a DNS administrator, he has access only as far as the specific actions he needs to handle. We don't need to give away such high privileges for such a daily job. It's helped clarify roles and access. It's helped reduce identity-based breaches. If someone leaves a company, we can easily undo provisioning and close accounts. We can generate reports to see which people have which permissions and at what times. We've just integrated with our HR system. It helps us follow activated and deactivated users. I'd rate the granular controls on offer ten out of ten. We've saved on manpower in terms of the work of the administrators. There's good reporting and functionality, and it's very transparent. You can connect more than one directory and manage everything from one pane. You can do many things from one interface.
