We performed a comparison between NetIQ Identity Governance 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."We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"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 thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."
"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company."
"We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."
"I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is."
"When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account."
"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."
"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."
"You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"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."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"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."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"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."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"Technical support is horrible."
"They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution."
"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."
"With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well."
"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."
"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
