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.

Positive feedback highlights lightweight design and compatibility while suggesting more AI integration
I think Silverfort is actually a really good product. Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools. It checks your Active Directory authentication and continues only if the check is okay, plus it works with older protocols such as NTLM, which is a significant advantage. The product is fairly new, but it's great; it's lightweight and agent-based, acting as a bridge between your Active Directory and any other application, with no impact on the applications. Silverfort is one of the few vendors that offers a free POC, and usually the customer ends up taking it, as they've lost very few deals in this manner. It's complementary to other tools you may have, whether they are TAM solutions such as Delinea or Xerox. Silverfort also has a lightweight adapter for domain controllers, and it finds gaps in security. Its capabilities are expanding regularly, with new features voted on every few months. For companies with large Active Directory implementations and zero staff, Silverfort provides instant results in identifying risks and blind spots. It also includes built-in virtual features, and while I don't know the exact pricing, it's not expensively priced, making it an attractive option.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"It's an excellent product and the integration adapts well with all things around the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."
"Silverfort helps identify blind spots in your identity and access management, covering areas that traditional systems don't, such as command line tools."
 

Cons

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."
"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."
"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."
"The protocol could be easier to use."
"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 tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."
"If Silverfort could integrate a gentle type of AI similar to Microsoft Copilot or enable workflow creation similar to Salesforce, it would further improve user navigation, even though the platform is already simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
