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 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."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The solution's capabilities in provisioning, de-provisioning, terminations, and transfers are excellent."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
 

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."
"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."
"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 user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult compared to other tools."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"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."
