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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its non-stop application, as it continues to run so there are no interruptions to customers and it's able to reach many people."
"Most of my users are non-technical and usually a one-day hands-on session with the software allows them to easily begin to become analysts instead of report writers."
"If you are looking for an enterprise BI app, MicroStrategy includes: Data discovery Analytics Enterprise reporting Dashboards Distribution Mobile Central administration Granular security Single repository (metadata) Modelling Automation (scripts) Testing All you need in one enterprise app."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"MicroStrategy fits best in an enterprise setup."
"This solution is very stable."
"It has a robust engine compared to other BI tools available in the market."
"There are many valuable features, most notably Single Sign-On, Identity Management, and Identity Connector Framework, which can be implemented to provision with diverse interfaces."
"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."
"The organizational benefit is increased efficiency and simplicity so that we can manage the identity lifecycle faster and better, and so we can govern the access from a central place and make it easier."
"The features I like in this solution are the RBAC and the UI customization, particularly that it has a granular level modification."
"The most important feature is the connectors, and auditing is also a very good feature."
"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."
"Application access is provided to and removed from end users in a timely manner, which removes delays in the on-boarding/off-boarding process and also improves productivity and security."
"We are a pharmaceutical company; we use E-Business Suite and Identity Manager to bind into E-Business Suite, giving us the ability to carry out an e-signature so that we can track and trace anything going on in the database back to what user signed for a particular step in a manufacturing sequence and when they signed for it."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are a lot of issues that occurred while I was using MicroStrategy."
"The pricing needs improvement, it need to lower prices per user to make it more accessible."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"Some of the web interface is still not as good as it could be."
"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."
"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others. There are better reporting solutions out there."
"Technical support is good. Most of the support is online, and they take their time."
"Simplify and add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"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."
"The solution should be easy to implement with components combined in one file and built-in features to integrate target applications without having to install additional connectors."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"The product does have some issues with stability; certain operations such as custom adapters and event handlers do not work properly."
"You have to chase them a lot to receive a response in a timely manner. Most customers are aware of this problem."
"It is really hard to implement Oracle Data Manager because we have a lot security that we need to manage."
