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

Pros

"The mobile identity features are great."
"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 dashboard is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"The most important features that have impacted our environment recently are the Single Sign-On solution, role based provisioning, and the automated provisioning of accounts to target systems."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"What I found most useful in Oracle Identity Governance, feature-wise, are provisioning, de-provisioning, and termination. Those features are very good. Oracle Identity Governance can also be easily integrated with non-Oracle products, which I find valuable."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
 

Cons

"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 pricing needs improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"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 documentation of how to make different connections to different databases needs to be more centralized."
"The skills needed now are very niche and quite low level and they need to simplify the development aspect of it."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"This product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping."
"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."
"The product design has some complications for doing some use cases. I would like to see easier onboarding of applications and easier ways to plugin the customization codes."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
"It would be beneficial if there were more connectors available from Oracle, as there is a long list of connectors, and they can be developed over time."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
