Google Cloud Identity offers seamless integration with Google Workspace, multi-factor authentication, and device management, known for its efficiency within Google environments.

Room for Improvement:Oracle Identity Cloud Service could improve on pricing transparency and simplify integrations with non-Oracle services.

User lifecycle management becomes streamlined with unified access and context-aware policies

If applications support SAML protocols, integration is always an easy task. However, there are difficulties with form-based applications or LDAP-based applications, particularly traditional applications. We need more flexibility not only with SAML but also with LDAP-based and form-based applications. Context-aware access currently only works with SAML-based applications. If other application integrations could support context-aware access, that would be helpful, as companies are in a transition mode with various traditional, form-based, and LDAP-based applications. Mobile device management could be improved. Through Google Cloud Identity, we can manage Android applications and have control over iOS devices, but container functionality is missing. This is particularly important for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios, especially in India where the market is now split equally between iOS and Android users. Improvements in this area and integration capabilities would be beneficial.

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

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment."

"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."

"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."

"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."

"The initial setup is easy."

"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."

"The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access."

"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

Cons

"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."

"The interface could be more user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."

"I would like to see more integration in future releases."

"Google Cloud Identity should improve its compatibility with other products without any impact, such as Jamf Cloud."

"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."

"Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google."

"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"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."

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 protocol could be easier to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."

"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"The solution is not expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."

"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"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."
