System Implementer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
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.

General Manager Technical at Techaccess Pakistan
Comprehensive features and strong support enhance operations
Direct comparison of OIG/OIM/OAM would require several factors to count in. Other than being excellent product, it would be more convenient to have more 3rd party integrations/connectors available for main stream applications (or even databases) that require less development with frequent certifications/version updates (though this cannot be avoided altogether). Single Interface/same screen would be handy. We have not use the product for analytics for anomaly detection, as we had a blend of different products, and identity management wasn't used particularly for this purpose. Oracle suite provides comprehensive Governance The scope of the identity management or Oracle IDM/IAM/OID/OIG is vast, and while we've implemented/evaluated 30-50% of its features, it's not done at full scale to include full-fledged governance/compliance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"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 dashboard is user-friendly."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"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."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
 

Cons

"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"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 documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if there were more connectors available from Oracle, as there is a long list of connectors, and they can be developed over time."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"Oracle Identity Governance, particularly version 12c, can handle multiple scenarios, but for a regular user, I found the use cases not that extensive, so this is an area for improvement. The implementation process for Oracle Identity Governance is also a bit more complex than how you implement competitor products, and this is another area for improvement in the solution. Technical support for Oracle Identity Governance also needs some improvement. Another area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is its documentation. Currently, it's lacking when compared to SailPoint. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Identity Governance is a bit more scope for AI-based Identity governance. If the solution has built-in intelligence, that will give it more leverage. Another feature I'd like to see in Oracle Identity Governance in the future is the option for managers to provide access to others via mobile devices or phones."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a thick, heavy application and has fewer application connectors compared to SailPoint, which offers a large number of out-of-box connectors, making integration easier."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"It would be great if the Oracle Fusion Middleware team worked on making it compatible with other application servers, as it exists in OIM9.x."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is expensive."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"Oracle Identity Governance is 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."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
