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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"Role-based access control (RBAC) has been crucial for role-based management in my current company. Granular access restrictions based on role-based policies were beneficial."
"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 valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"The solution's capabilities in provisioning, de-provisioning, terminations, and transfers are excellent."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
 

Cons

"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"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."
"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."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"The documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"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."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"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 product's initial setup phase is difficult compared to other tools."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"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."
"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."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
