Ease of development, good visualization, and good reporting help us to get more out of our data
The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy. For example, we can treat URLs as objects, which is very easy to use for end-users, business analysists, or other professionals. Anyone can find it very easy to develop. The number and type of different settings that can be used for optimizing pulled data are valuable. For example, if a report is taking a lot of time to retrieve data from the database, there are settings in MicroStrategy that we can change to help. As a BI tool, it is helpful in finding different templates for the users and using the same standard operating procedures on how to operate different pulls and micro strategies.

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

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

Pros

"The mobile identity features are great."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"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."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"The most important features that have impacted our environment recently are the Single Sign-On solution, role based provisioning, and the automated provisioning of accounts to target systems."
"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 best features in Oracle Identity Governance product include comprehensive reporting, as we can track exactly what person did what because of the auditing policies that can be enforced in it, and at what time what was done."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"I would like to see automation in the solution. We need also integration with the Identity Manager. The solution needs to improve in the application integrations part. It also needs to focus on application deployment as well."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"The development and the administration side could be a lot more intuitive and easier to use than it currently is, in terms of functionality and what it tries to achieve as a Single Sign-On entity for an enterprise environment."
"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."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
