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.

Configuration based tool that requires less coding compared to other IAM products.
* The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark. * Tutorial and solution examples are lacking in RSA community center. * Customization flexibility is also minimal due to this sometimes not able to fulfill the organization's complex requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helped us reduce the user management cost, and strengthen IT security by reducing the risk."
"It has improved my organization tremendously."
"Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) really stands out in user account creation, provisioning, SSO, and compliance support, with granular self-service functions that can be customized to suit an organization's needs and extended by building and integrating what you cannot find out of the box."
"We moved to this solution because of its cost."
"Automatic onboarding of employees and off boarding of employees, also single sign on feature is one of the key features."
"The Oracle platform was more aligned with our business road maps and meets the desired capabilities the business needs."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool, as it allows you to do any customization on Java since it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java, and I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable, so in my company, where there are a lot of users, my company prefers this solution."
"The provision and deprovisioning means its more secure, less administration is required, and all the information about an identity is stored in one place."
"After IMG most of the tasks happen automatically, but also offer manual provisioning from a single GUI for all applications."
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
"After implementing RSA Aveksa, all the above mentioned issues have been resolved."
"Violations are highlighted almost real-time and can be managed much more effectively -and this reduces risk exposure of sensitive applications"
 

Cons

"It's difficult to use, and we're planning to switch to another application."
"Oracle's support is not as good as that of other vendors."
"The management of workflows could use some improvement as well as the overall performance of the product."
"At the moment, my company hasn't seen ROI from Oracle Identity Governance."
"The solution should be easy to implement with components combined in one file and built-in features to integrate target applications without having to install additional connectors."
"Technical support is horrible. It is faster to find the resolution ourselves than rely on support."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"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."
"In the older versions, there were sometimes instances where memory would get used up and the application would need a restart."
"There are some crucial adapters missing for SAP CUA and for some Legacy applications."
"When running big collections/connections for the first time, we encountered some performance issues."
"The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"The price of the implementation of Oracle Identity Governance is more of a concern than the cost of the solution. The effort that you have to do to put the solution in place is higher than the license cost."

"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
