Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
Omada Identity's high initial cost is offset by reduced maintenance costs, improved security, and process efficiency, but ROI measurement is challenging.
Sentiment score
7.3
One Identity Manager enhances efficiency, security, and compliance, reducing costs and onboarding time while increasing productivity and role-based access.
Sentiment score
7.0
One Identity Safeguard enhances security and compliance, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance, reducing risks, and improving operational efficiency with substantial ROI.
Without it, we would need thousands of additional people.
If you do not see it as purely an Identity Management tool but as a possibility to automate processes in the company, it provides a huge amount of value.
One Identity Manager saved us approximately thirty to forty percent in terms of time, money, and resources compared to our pre-deployment setup.
Any PAM solution, when I deploy it well and customers use it, leads to a return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.8
Omada Identity's technical support is praised for responsiveness, but outdated documentation and inconsistent response times pose challenges.
Sentiment score
6.7
Customer service for One Identity Manager is mixed, with premium support praised but inconsistency in regular support noted.
Sentiment score
6.5
One Identity Safeguard’s customer service is praised for responsiveness and efficiency, but standard support faces mixed reviews.
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.
If you have outages or critical production problems, you can count on the manufacturer to help resolve the situation.
If I raised a request while they were active, I received responses within an hour.
After submission, they contact the product team, which often takes one or two months to respond.
I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is praised for its scalability in cloud and hybrid environments, despite minor performance and customization feedback.
Sentiment score
7.2
One Identity Manager is scalable but requires performance optimizations for large environments due to database and backend limitations.
Sentiment score
7.1
One Identity Safeguard is praised for scalability and ease of resource deployment but may affect performance and high availability.
We could handle about 1,00,000 records for different users.
I would rate its scalability as strong since we have not experienced any significant challenges.
We are hosting it centrally in Switzerland.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.
We have a cluster of SPPs and a cluster of SPSs, and we can add a node to that cluster without much fuss.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Omada Identity is stable, with minimal issues, occasional bugs, and high ratings for reliability and performance.
Sentiment score
7.3
One Identity Manager is stable, with issues mainly due to custom setups, not the software itself, except during upgrades.
Sentiment score
7.5
One Identity Safeguard is highly stable and reliable, with minor issues promptly addressed through regular updates.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
Specifically affecting the test and development environments, not the production environment.
One Identity Manager has improved in terms of performance and added functionality.
I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
 

Room For Improvement

Omada Identity needs UI improvements, better scalability, integration, documentation, and cost-effective upgrades, with enhanced API and automation.
One Identity Manager struggles with performance, integration, usability, configuration complexity, insufficient documentation, and slow support services.
One Identity Safeguard needs improvements in integration, management, documentation, interface, support, monitoring, threat detection, and pricing.
The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience.
This lack of 24-hour support is problematic from a testing and development standpoint.
It is crucial for them to expand their support team to match their product's success.
In terms of providing a single platform for enterprise-level administration and governance of users, data, and privileged accounts, One Identity is not yet there.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
 

Setup Cost

Omada Identity offers cost-effective on-premises pricing, though cloud options are pricier, with flexible negotiations available for enterprises.
One Identity Manager offers competitive pricing and robust features, valued for cost-efficiency by enterprises seeking regulatory compliance.
One Identity Safeguard is costly but valued for flexibility and robust security, with straightforward licensing and worthwhile investment.
They are lower than some of their competitors.
On-premises might incur higher costs.
We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it.
On-premises, it is cheap.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.
It is more expensive than Secret Server but way less expensive than CyberArk.
 

Valuable Features

Omada Identity provides governance, customization, integration, and automation for efficient identity lifecycle management with advanced reporting and strong API connectivity.
One Identity Manager provides flexible customization, automation, user-friendly interface, seamless integration, and robust governance for enhanced security and compliance.
One Identity Safeguard enhances security with seamless user experience, extensive features, centralized access, and robust monitoring for on-prem and cloud management.
Technically, the product does everything one would expect from an identity and access management platform.
It ensures high security through multiple approval processes, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing compliance by providing time-based access for privileged accounts with proper audit trails.
It continuously monitors user behavior in real-time, triggering automated responses, and manages secure access for both on-premises and cloud applications using protocols such as SAML.
Once you have some experience, it demonstrates best practices and guides you on the correct way to use the tool.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.
Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view.

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.
Ranjan Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables our organization to manage accounts across multiple target systems from a central identity management solution
The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification. While a new Angular portal was introduced with version 8.2, the knowledge base lacks sufficient information and resources. Even with an Angular developer or a One Identity specialist, a knowledge gap exists due to the combination of AngularJS and One Identity schema expertise required. This makes it difficult to find resources that can effectively utilize the portal, highlighting the need for a more user-friendly interface. One Identity Manager currently offers Long Term Support only for version 9.0. All other versions have a two-year lifecycle with extended support. For organizations managing a complex environment with numerous connected systems, users, and assignments, upgrading every two years is impractical. Extending support for regular versions by one or two years would benefit clients in this situation.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent mode for privileged sessions will greatly simplify our client's administrative situation
We're introducing the solution's transparent mode for privileged sessions. This is part of what the client hasn't used before. It will simplify their administrative situation greatly. So far, the rollout of this feature has been a seamless process, but we're still in the midst of rolling it out. The benefits will be on the risk side. Right now, the way accounts are managed, you don't necessarily know who is using an account. There's a shared admin account, and that's not a good thing. And those accounts are shared in wallets by several people. One of the real benefits of safeguarding here is that the client will have an absolute audit of who is using an administrative interface, whether it's server or network.
