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.

Pros

"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."
"It has a robust engine compared to other BI tools available in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of development in MicroStrategy."
"This solution is very stable."
"Overall, the solution is an easy product to use."
"Most of my users are non-technical and usually a one-day hands-on session with the software allows them to easily begin to become analysts instead of report writers."
"If you are looking for an enterprise BI app, MicroStrategy includes: Data discovery Analytics Enterprise reporting Dashboards Distribution Mobile Central administration Granular security Single repository (metadata) Modelling Automation (scripts) Testing All you need in one enterprise app."
"The storage is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a very complete product."
"The provision and deprovisioning means its more secure, less administration is required, and all the information about an identity is stored in one place."
"It has a very good response time."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"The most important feature is the connectors, and auditing is also a very good feature."
 

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."
"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others. There are better reporting solutions out there."
"If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great."
"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."
"Initial setup of the tool was very complex and challenging."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"In this area, I don't see great support."
"Customer Service: 4/10 for Australian customer service. It seems like Oracle customer service does not know its product as well as I know it."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"My contacts with them have been very poor in terms of resolution and complication."
"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."
"There are issues with stability in the long run."
"Our issues with the solution have to do with the integration with different applications."
"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."
