Offers single sign-on capabilities to users
Suppose you are totally dependent and have requirements where you have a cloud application or several applications for integration with the cloud. In that case, I will suggest the use of Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Oracle Identity Cloud Service has much scope for customization. If you have a high customization level, then I would suggest IAM. The tool's multifactor authentication capabilities are easy to implement. If a client has a banking system, they need a strong authentication service, and only a password is not required; the user has to authenticate via fingerprint, face recognition, or go for or any RSA token. Double authentication is required where the banking department has access to very critical applications, or else they cannot go ahead and give the password. It is very difficult to hack once you have MFA in place. You have to either give the print fingerprint or any RSA token, making it not so easy to hack the system. We suggest MFA to clients who have the most critical application with them. I recommend the tool for every client we have, but it depends on how they want to have it because some customers don't want to go for the cloud application, and they might be thinking about changing the cloud vendors. Suppose a company has some costs in mind, and if they have a large number of employees, like 50,000 or 1,00,000 users, then it will be costlier for them than having an on-prem tool, like IAM. If a customer has 5,000, 10,000, or 20,00 employees, Oracle Identity Cloud Service can be a cheaper tool than the IAM product. I will suggest Oracle Identity Cloud Service only for smaller organizations. The tool does not have any AI capabilities. I would recommend the tool to everyone. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations, and since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management."
"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."
"IDCS has enabled the users of the other cloud services and has allowed administrators to manage access to services, applications, and grant privileges via IDCS groups."
"It's an excellent product and the integration adapts well with all things around the solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is identity management."
"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."
"Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."
"IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."
"Building and expanding a directory tree for my customers was the most valuable tool."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
 

Cons

"The protocol could be easier to use."
"Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too."
"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."
"The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration."
"The cost of this solution should be reduced."
"Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."
"We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."
"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"Some of the features like multi-aggregation and self healing feature in case of corrupted certificates would be pretty useful which would enable easy debugging in case of issues."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"Complex configuration if you want to have AD forest architecture in place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."
"The tool's implementation costs totally depend on the number of users. The cost depends on how many users are going to use it, so a per-user cost model is needed for the tool."
"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The solution is not cheap."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
