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.
Harshul Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
Lacking customization, poor support, but useful auditing
RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise. We have our own proprietary cloud solution created along with RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle and it's deployed on the AWS platform. We use RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle for a broad level use case for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"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."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"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."
"When it comes to ease of customization, there are a lot of different object types. I can create my own object types."
"The solution provides an identity-centric approach which supports achieving a Zero Trust model, and it significantly reduces operational costs by allowing the same number of support team members to manage a greater number of systems."
"The most valuable features are the behavior, configuration, and customization options."
"The One Identity Manager's user-friendly interface allows for easy external identities and user account creation."
"The company policies feature is really good because in workflows you can check whether the policies are all working."
"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."
"It brings simplicity into complex matters."
"The most valuable features include the automated attestations or recertification... The time that people have to focus on their real jobs and not spend it doing recertifications is huge."
"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."
"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."
"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."
"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."
"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."
 

Cons

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license."
"Improvements in documentation would be beneficial."
"I would like to see a lot more integration with our platforms, more on the connector side."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"The performance is quite bad, but this is because we have a very old version."
"The product's GUI could be more user-friendly."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"We would like the product to integrate with ServiceNow, since One Identity Manager and ServiceNow are two of our better tools."
"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."
"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."
"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."
"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."
"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."
"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."
"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial total cost of ownership to implement Omada Identity is not small. The TCO for the implementation is as high as any other solution. However, the cost of maintaining the solution is at par or lower than competitors, including adding more features or maintaining the system after the initial deployment or installation to make sure that they are available for users to use or extending the functionalities of those activities. Those maintenance costs are lower than other vendors, but the initial cost of getting the system installed is still high."
"The pricing is too high for SMBs."
"The pricing is okay."
"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."
"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."
"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."
"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."
"It is licensed per managed user per year."
"It has helped to reduce customer costs."
"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"We are using a self-built solution. It would cost too much to get that up to the standard of what we need. In the long-term, it is cheaper to buy a solution that has what we need. Though, we are still running the previous solution, as we are still in the implementation phase."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
"In addition to licensing fees, we may incur costs for professional services if product issues or implementation errors arise beyond our control."
"Pricing depends on licensing models, such as per-user licensing and feature-based pricing. Additional models like governance, provisioning, and reporting increase costs."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."
