Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 2, 2024

Oracle Identity Cloud Service and AWS IAM Identity Center compete in cloud identity management. AWS IAM Identity Center holds the upper hand with superior features despite Oracle's appealing pricing and support.

Features: Oracle Identity Cloud Service offers advanced identity and access management functions with comprehensive provisioning features and support for a wide range of applications. AWS IAM Identity Center excels in integration, providing extensive connections with AWS services, robust access management tools like role-based permissions, and a centralized permission management dashboard.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Identity Cloud Service could improve by expanding integration with non-Oracle ecosystems, enhancing user interface navigation, and streamlining multi-factor authentication setup. AWS IAM Identity Center can enhance by reducing reliance on AWS infrastructure, extending its integration capabilities beyond AWS ecosystems, and simplifying the complexity of its policy configuration for users unfamiliar with AWS.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Identity Cloud Service is praised for straightforward deployment and strong support, assisting in overcoming setup challenges. AWS IAM Identity Center offers rapid deployment within AWS environments, though its focus on AWS infrastructure limits versatility. Its customer support is robust but focused on AWS services.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Identity Cloud Service offers competitive pricing appealing to budget-conscious buyers, delivering favorable ROI. AWS IAM Identity Center, while costlier, leverages AWS integration to provide significant ROI, maximizing existing AWS investments to enhance efficiencies.

Helped our organization by providing a unified dashboard to manage permissions and access controls

The most valuable feature of AWS IAM Identity Center is the ability to provide a structured approach to access management through a single dashboard. This single-pane management allows users to manage access control and permissions centrally. It provides the least privilege-based access control, which limits users to only the operations they need to perform without interfering with unrelated configurations.

Senior Architect at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

Offers single sign-on capabilities to users

Suppose you are totally dependent and have requirements where you have a cloud application or several applications for integration with the cloud. In that case, I will suggest the use of Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Oracle Identity Cloud Service has much scope for customization. If you have a high customization level, then I would suggest IAM. The tool's multifactor authentication capabilities are easy to implement. If a client has a banking system, they need a strong authentication service, and only a password is not required; the user has to authenticate via fingerprint, face recognition, or go for or any RSA token. Double authentication is required where the banking department has access to very critical applications, or else they cannot go ahead and give the password. It is very difficult to hack once you have MFA in place. You have to either give the print fingerprint or any RSA token, making it not so easy to hack the system. We suggest MFA to clients who have the most critical application with them. I recommend the tool for every client we have, but it depends on how they want to have it because some customers don't want to go for the cloud application, and they might be thinking about changing the cloud vendors. Suppose a company has some costs in mind, and if they have a large number of employees, like 50,000 or 1,00,000 users, then it will be costlier for them than having an on-prem tool, like IAM. If a customer has 5,000, 10,000, or 20,00 employees, Oracle Identity Cloud Service can be a cheaper tool than the IAM product. I will suggest Oracle Identity Cloud Service only for smaller organizations. The tool does not have any AI capabilities. I would recommend the tool to everyone. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We efficiently use AWS to create multiple user privileges and permissions, making it very scalable and supportive of our clients' operations."

"The most valuable features of AWS IAM Identity Center are role-based permissions and existing permissions templates."

"IAM Identity Center provides micro-level control over resources, services, and users, allowing organizations to grant specific access and privileges safely."

"The solution enhances security through features like multifactor authentication."

"The most valuable feature of AWS IAM Identity Center is the ability to provide a structured approach to access management through a single dashboard."

"IAM provides significant benefits when properly deployed."

"The solution helps us manage access in a time-efficient manner and offers reliable integration for our services, avoiding security breaches and maintaining operational efficiency."

"The features of AWS IAM Identity Center that I appreciate are single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, and we can manage all authentication aspects while integrating it with third-party applications."

More AWS IAM Identity Center pros

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations. Since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management."

"The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

"Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization."

"Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable."

"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."

"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."

Cons

"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."

"For AWS services in general, I had trouble creating an S3 bucket due to a repetitive error message regarding existing names."

"Integrating AWS IAM Identity Center with other applications sometimes presents challenges."

"I have opened support tickets and received responses, although not always resolving my queries fully. I would appreciate a live chat option with technical support for quicker resolutions."

"The AWS Identity Center's user interface could be improved to provide a clearer understanding of how the system operates."

"There is a desire to see integration or adoption of time-based user creation features within AWS IAM Identity Center."

"The configuration with other tools can be hard."

"I would like to see more flexibility in the features as sometimes it doesn't meet my expectations."

More AWS IAM Identity Center cons

"The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration."

"The protocol could be easier to use."

"We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

"Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too."

"Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."

"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."

"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap since it is available on the cloud."

"The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The tool's implementation costs totally depend on the number of users. The cost depends on how many users are going to use it, so a per-user cost model is needed for the tool."
