SN
Identity and Access Management Specialist at a university with 10,001+ employees
Governed access has transformed user management and now reduces internal attack surface
The crown jewels of One Identity Active Roles that make my life as an architect easier are Access Templates, Virtual Attributes, Workflow and Approval Engine, and Managed Units, which allowed us to structure our directory into a policy-driven asset rather than constantly firefighting manual errors. Access Templates and Managed Units are the real secret sauce of One Identity Active Roles for us. Access Templates standardize permission settings, reducing security drift and allowing for the creation of modular permission bundles such as those I created for the Tier 1 help desk. Managed Units help me stay organized without rewriting the physical structure of the directory, saving me hours of cleanup. A critical feature that I found essential for a clean environment is Dynamic Group management, which prevents permission creep by using rule-defined group memberships rather than manual additions. One Identity Active Roles automatically manages group membership based on rules tied to the HR records. One Identity Active Roles has had a transformative impact on my organization, moving from controlled chaos to governed operations. The biggest win has been a reduction in the internal attack surface, achieving over a 40% reduction in unauthorized or accidental access attempts.

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.

User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.
