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.

"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"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 proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"It has a very good response time."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"This solution has improved the organization in several ways, including saving many help-desk password-reset calls, IT staff productivity, and quicker user on-boarding."
 

Cons

"The pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"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."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"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 cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"Automation of validation exercises performed by humans over Recon Exceptions generated as a result of an access synchronization event over a user's need for access or not."
"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."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."

"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"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."
"I can't say much about the pricing for Oracle Identity Governance because it's different from one geography to another. In India, the license price costs less than in other geographies."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
