Improved the way to exploit and analyze data and offers no interruptions in service when running
The most valuable aspect of the solution is it's non-stop application. It continues to run so there are no interruptions to customers. It's also able to reach many people. The solution has good analysis features to make sure there's good sizing (so that it's not too big or too small) and allows room for growth if a company needs it.

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

"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."
"The solution has good analysis features to make sure there's good sizing (so that it's not too big or too small) and allows room for growth if a company needs it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"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."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"In the dossier section, they have something called documents, which is very good, but they are implementing something called dossiers also. If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great. The formatting options are limited is dossiers. In terms of formatting and making the reports more presentable, it's lagging a little bit behind."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"Right now, we have to apply many workarounds for the solution to do what we need it to do. There are a lot of bugs."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"This product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
