AO
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 dashboard is user-friendly."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"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 mobile identity features are great."
"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."
"The solution's capabilities in provisioning, de-provisioning, terminations, and transfers are excellent."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks."
"The one thing that stands out was is the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"It is able to save time and money as everything is automated: user access provisioning, password policy management, and reporting."
 

Cons

"The pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"Our issues with the solution have to do with the integration with different applications. It's not easy to connect ICAO to this kind of product. It would be better to work on the extensions of the adapters for this kind of identity management solution in order to not put in the code in the product."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"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."
"Oracle Identity Governance can capture a lot of loads, it's stable. However, we once had a problem two years ago, but it is now resolved. There are some issues still present, but they're operational. They don't impact the customers. There are some improvements that can be done."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"The solution requires too much infrastructure and should be less code-heavy."
