We performed a comparison between One Identity Manager and Symantec Identity Governance and Administration 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."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."
"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."
"User-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"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 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."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."
"One Identity Manager offers several features that I found advantageous compared to other tools."
"Business roles are one way to help companies to identify job codes and position codes. It enables the grouping and automating of certain types of access for certain departments... Doing that in One Identity Manager is a very simple task and it is very well organized."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"You can scale it quite big, which is good. It has good sizing."
"In terms of the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager, it's not like one feature is useful without the other features. It's not a tool, but it's more an overall integrated solution that is helpful and not specifically one solution on its own. The best points of One Identity Manager would be its process orchestration and synchronization manager."
"It is easy to use and handle."
"In terms of what I found most valuable in One Identity Manager, it's the only product where the workflow and the catalog can be configured on roles or by business people. You don't need to know the technology at all to configure that, so this is the product's biggest advantage as well as its strongest feature. One Identity Manager is also business-oriented and IAM administrator-oriented."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing. Now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved. It's all in the same system."
"Governance."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"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."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"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."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"A feature that I would like to see is a mobile app that provides users the ability to make changes or add users to the Active Directory, on the fly."
"The initial set up was quite complex. It takes quite some time to get use to this product because of its complexity."
"Transitioning from legacy technologies, like for a seasoned web designer moving to Angular, can be challenging and requires dedicated learning."
"The user interface needs to improve."
"It is a large solution where you need to learn how to work in a certain way for it to provide the best benefit."
"The UI and user experience side of things needs improvement."
"There is a small area inside of the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"I would like to see a lot more integration with our platforms, more on the connector side."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
"They provide a framework to develop your own connectors. A connector is a piece of software that integrates with the solutions that are not a part of the support matrix. Currently, it is difficult to create these connectors in this solution. Other solutions, such as NetIQ Identity, provide a better way to create your own connector. Currently, there is no cloud version. It should have a cloud version."
"The product's technical support could be better."
