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.

"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 dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"Automated Provisioning to applications has removed the effort required to manually create accounts in applications, which increases our productivity."
"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."
"OIM eliminates the need for manual creation of users and assigning of various resources."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution."
"The most important feature is the connectors, and auditing is also a very good feature."
"For our customers it saves time, helps the user management and after implemented the company’s help desk is trained to support their employees."
 

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."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"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."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others. There are better reporting solutions out there."
"The pricing needs improvement, it need to lower prices per user to make it more accessible."
"Most areas need improvements, all the way from the GUI to core functionality, logging, traceability, configuration, and bugs causing crashes."
"The most important point is that Oracle hasn't adjusted itself to the current market, they are still doing the same thing they've done for the last 10 years."
"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."
"It is cumbersome to deploy; there are multiple layers in terms of trying to get it to work; and they're also limited in terms of the number of products it can integrate with."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"The Design console is a bit dated and complicated to use when in development."
"It's very poor, just 3/10."
"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."
