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

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

Pros

"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"MicroStrategy fits best in an enterprise setup."
"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."
"I'd say if any user or any set of users are looking to get more insights from the raw data that they have collected over the course of years, one of the best BI tools in terms of analytics and data management would be MicroStrategy."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The hyper-intelligence is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"The capability of writing a custom connector makes this product flexible enough to potentially reach all types of target systems."
"The features I like in this solution are the RBAC and the UI customization, particularly that it has a granular level modification."
"It has improved the way my organization functions through customer implemented OIM and OIA."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"The support service of Oracle is good; we use it a lot and their response is quick."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"Short term, it was great but longer term, it became an issue."
"It has a very good response time."
 

Cons

"The pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others. There are better reporting solutions out there."
"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 pricing needs improvement, it need to lower prices per user to make it more accessible."
"Identity Governance is a difficult tool to work with. You have to input many models to understand what is happening with the logins."
"It's difficult to use, and we're planning to switch to another application."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"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."
"Technical support is good. Most of the support is online, and they take their time."
"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."
"I am not currently recommending the product to clients because there are other good products on the market that can be implemented and used in their environments with minimal customization."
"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."

"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
