Identity workflows have delivered strong governance but remain complex to install and customize
I would describe the installation of Oracle Identity Governance on-premises as quite complex. Very complex. To install the product, it took us maybe three or four days to get it up and running just to go through the installation procedures. I repeated the same exercise in 2017 because I also migrated from 11c to 12c. That was the migration in 2017 that I managed. The migration took a long time. It took two to three years to be able to literally migrate all the code that I had. So it was quite complex. To summarize it quickly, I would describe the product as complete, very powerful, and very capable. However, it is extremely complex because Oracle relies on their own framework to customize and develop and fine-tune the functionalities. It is not Java, it is not some public framework. It is Java-based more or less, but it has their own Oracle framework for development and that makes the product quite complex to harness.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"The best features in Oracle Identity Governance product include comprehensive reporting, as we can track exactly what person did what because of the auditing policies that can be enforced in it, and at what time what was done."
"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"We have used this product to automate our manual business processes, like onboarding and other processes."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"The organizational benefit is increased efficiency and simplicity so that we can manage the identity lifecycle faster and better, and so we can govern the access from a central place and make it easier."
 

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."
"It is cumbersome to deploy; there are multiple layers in terms of trying to get it to work; and they're also limited in terms of the number of products it can integrate with."
"UI customization is still a challenge as it requires a lot of effort to develop."
"Sometimes the support is not able to resolve our issues and they're often changing support engineers."
"Sometimes, it does not meet our expectations in terms of stability."
"One of my client's audit issues was happening for almost nine months, and my previous client was the biggest client for Oracle, a premium client for Oracle, but still they were not able to resolve the issue."
"Our issues with the solution have to do with the integration with different applications. It's not easy to connect ICAO to this kind of product. It would be better to work on the extensions of the adapters for this kind of identity management solution in order to not put in the code in the product."
"We faced many issues while migrating onto this solution."
"It's very poor, just 3/10."

"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."

"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"The price of the implementation of Oracle Identity Governance is more of a concern than the cost of the solution. The effort that you have to do to put the solution in place is higher than the license cost."
