Great policies and timelines for streamlined compliance

There are some areas where improvements are necessary. Even though we have almost the full package, there are some bugs. I cannot directly perform some tasks from the portal. First, I have to go to the policy, change it, and then return to the package to add it. I cannot do it directly from the package. Workarounds are needed, so that can be improved. At the moment, that is the only issue we are facing that needs enhancement.

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 solution gives me the capability to automatically move guest accounts from the tenant without any manual intervention."

"I am very happy with the solution."

"The solution is fully scalable, supporting everything from small companies to large enterprises."

"The product's most valuable features are the robust audit trail capabilities."

"The most valuable features are multifactor authentication and account creation for the Exchange environment in Office 365."

"It is compliant with our RVRT and CSV guidelines."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance for identity management is multi-factor authentication."

"Access reviews are an essential feature of Entra Governance. Additionally, privileged identity management is one of its most valuable features. Just-in-time access, or Jet GIT, is integral to this system. Moreover, user behavior analytics stands out as one of its top features."

More Microsoft Entra ID Governance pros

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

"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."

"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 feature is identity management."

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

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

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

Cons

"The platform's configuration process needs improvement."

"Microsoft Entra ID Governance should improve its capability to manage identities and access from a single console."

"There are some areas where improvements are necessary. Even though we have almost the full package, there are some bugs."

"Microsoft has done a commendable job with RPAX. However, Microsoft should prioritize enhancing its ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) capabilities. Currently, Microsoft's ABAC offering falls behind AWS in comparison."

"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies."

"The product's workflow approval process needs improvement."

"Even though we have almost the full package, there are some bugs."

"Microsoft Entra ID Governance is relatively new, and some features require more development. For example, when creating user access review campaigns, we can't specify the time to send emails to reviewers—only the date."

More Microsoft Entra ID Governance cons

"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."

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

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While other products give the pricing for their application, Microsoft Entra ID Governance has a per-user-based license model."

"The solution's pricing is not low but reasonable."

"In the education sector where I work, the annual cost for my Google and Microsoft environments is approximately $35,000. This covers the needs of 3,400 students and 800 faculty and staff members."

"There are no additional costs besides the standard licensing fees."

"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."
