We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and SailPoint IdentityIQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"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."
"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."
"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"User-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"FortiAuthenticator is easy to use."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The initial setup is a valuable point on Fortinet products. Most of the time, putting the theory into practice on the devices is quite friendly and straightforward. As long as you can read English you can find your way around the solution and make it work. This is a high value point on Fortinet - the way everything is laid out in the web UI is user-friendly and quite straightforward. The UI is quite simple."
"The ease of use is really nice. Using Authenticator, I've been able to actually work better on my authentication due to the fact that I have a single fabric to authenticate control from my firewall and on my access points. Authentication takes place from this area."
"The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"Simple to deploy, simple to use, and user-friendly."
"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 solution is stable and reliable."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"Improved traceability would be helpful for administrators. For example, let's say a user's permission is being revoked. We can only see the system that has carried out a particular action but not what triggered it. If an event definition or something has changed in the criteria for the permission being removed or something like that, we don't have immediate access to that information. It takes a little detective work."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"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."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"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 account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"They could expand FortiAuthenticator's capabilities to accommodate a broader range of environments."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"The customization capability of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not very flexible."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"The hardware aspect of the solution could be improved. We are not really able to understand the hardware capabilities of the device."
"I would like to see more support from Fortinet with tech support people who have as much expertise on the authenticator as they do on their firewalls."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
