PH
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.
Amimesh Anand - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliability through features associated with RBAC
Upgrading and making changes to the product is very difficult. It is difficult when you are upgrading the product because sometimes you cannot directly upgrade from one version to another version. You have to go to the lower version and then upgrade to the higher version, which is the biggest drawback of Oracle products. There are no additional features in the tool currently, and it has been the same for the last ten years. I want to see AI features in the tool so it becomes easy for implementers. There should be a change in the installation and deployment part, which is very heavy, due to which the team requires a lot of time, like two to three weeks. It should be easy to implement the tool in two or three days.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"Understanding what a customer is using, what they are looking for, and allowing permissions is a challenge. We use the information we get in order to understand the behavior of the customer beyond the security and to understand what they have been doing in the last month. It's a nice way to understand what is attracting the customer and what they are clicking. That could be implemented by using this kind of application."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
 

Cons

"The account support team was weak in engagement and communication, contributing to the decision to move to more comprehensive solutions."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"The solution should be easy to implement with components combined in one file and built-in features to integrate target applications without having to install additional connectors."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"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."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"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."
"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"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."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
