Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

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

"You simply cannot use Google Apps without it, so it's a no brainer."
"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"The most valuable features are the comprehensiveness; the whole identity lifecycle management; the centralized view of people requesting access to provisioning, to SLD, and to access review; basically, the whole suite."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"It provides us with an integrated platform for all governance products."
"The Oracle platform was more aligned with our business road maps and meets the desired capabilities the business needs."
"It has a very good response time but on the other hand, we have experienced a number of bugs."
"Because OIM has a Java API, you can develop scripts and automate tasks, and integration with other products written in Java is easy, more or less."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
 

Cons

"The account support team was weak in engagement and communication, contributing to the decision to move to more comprehensive solutions."
"Would love for it to be able to replace our SSO as well as provide connectivity and the same level of automation to our other SaaS products."
"We faced many issues while migrating onto this solution."
"Right now, I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance because there are new and very good tools available in the market."
"The most important point is that Oracle hasn't adjusted itself to the current market, they are still doing the same thing they've done for the last 10 years."
"There are issues with stability in the long run."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"Getting the initial OIM product up and running in the lab was complex for first timers as well as understanding whether to use the adapter factory or if we could use an existing pre-configured connector."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"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."
"I can't say much about the pricing for Oracle Identity Governance because it's different from one geography to another. In India, the license price costs less than in other geographies."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"The licensing is expensive."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
