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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"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."
"The mobile identity features are great."
"The hyper-intelligence is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."
"We decided to go with Oracle because, when we did those different types of tests, they scored better than the other provider in all aspects."
"Oracle Identity Manager is a highly flexible and scalable enterprise identity management solution that is designed to administer user access privileges across a company's resources throughout the identity management life cycle, from initial on-boarding to final de-provisioning of an identity."
"We are a pharmaceutical company; we use E-Business Suite and Identity Manager to bind into E-Business Suite, giving us the ability to carry out an e-signature so that we can track and trace anything going on in the database back to what user signed for a particular step in a manufacturing sequence and when they signed for it."
"If you have a large scale organization, then this is the right product because it gives you a lot of opportunities to do customization and custom development."
"There is no doubt that this product scales well."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
 

Cons

"Some of the web interface is still not as good as it could be."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"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."
"I don't think I would recommend this solution to others. There are better reporting solutions out there."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"There are a lot of issues that occurred while I was using MicroStrategy."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"I would rate Oracle Identity Governance a six because of complexity. Even though they have the ability to deliver and to execute, it is very monolithic and falling slightly behind compared to other products that are now built on microservices and are able to deliver much better and much easier results."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"Getting the initial OIM product up and running in the lab was complex for first timers as well as understanding whether to use the adapter factory or if we could use an existing pre-configured connector."
"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."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"Identity Manager is very complicated to set up."
