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

"Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization."

"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."

"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 valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

"It's an excellent product and the integration adapts well with all things around the solution."

More Oracle Identity Cloud Service pros

"The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."

"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."

"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."

"I find the solution to be comprehensive."

"Our user lifecycle takes less time with SailPoint IdentityIQ, as previously it would take around one day to get all the users access, and now it is an automatic process with a good authentication authorization mechanism."

"It is a scalable product."

"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."

"We like the integration with other systems."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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 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 protocol could be easier to use."

"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."

"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."

"The price is very high"

"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."

"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."

"They are expensive."

"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."

"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug."

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."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

"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."

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."

"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
