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.
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"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."
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"The product is flexible to use."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
 

Cons

"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."
"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."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience. From a technical perspective, it is a very good product, but from an end-user experience perspective, it significantly lacks."
"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."
"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."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"Omada Identity's user interface needs improvement, especially for new users."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"The product must improve its support."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's. I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"The biggest drawback is that for every change you want to make, you have to go back to them and ask for it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."
"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."
"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."
"Omada is too expensive. We are in the automotive industry. The pricing might be high because most of the other customers are in the insurance or banking sectors, but it's steep for an auto supply company."
"It is not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."
"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."
"Omada is expensive."
"The pricing is okay."
"It is affordable licensing."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
