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.

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.

Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows
One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allows for more centralized user management, improving system administration efficiency and reducing costs."
"We have been able, after eight months of coding our own Java classes, to implement a Joiner/Mover/Leaver process."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance is having a scalable identity and access management solution."
"One thing for sure, is that it is the most comprehensive solution out there in the market."
"It provides us with an integrated platform for all governance products."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"It has improved my organization tremendously."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"IdentityIQ is pretty stable compared to our previous solution, and we're satisfied with the performance."
"It provides one solution for the entire process in a complex environment with different types of applications and connectors."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"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 offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."
"Saviynt provides built-in access recommendations, while SailPoint IdentityNow offers access recommendations through a separate AI integration that requires additional licensing. Saviynt functions as a unified platform for various business operations, consolidating user and access data from multiple sources into a single platform. This allows for leveraging the same user base and data across different business functions, including access governance, privileged access management, data access governance, and third-party access governance. In contrast, SailPoint is a decoupled tool, requiring separate integration for managing access and permissions, especially for unstructured data. Saviynt's approach is more integrated and streamlined, providing a unified platform for access recommendations and various business operations."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"Compared to other tools, you'll have a lot of confidence accessing Saviynt because it's a pretty straightforward tool."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution."
 

Cons

"It is really hard to implement Oracle Data Manager because we have a lot security that we need to manage."
"Initial setup is complex in compatibility between Operating System version, Database version, Fusion Middleware version and so on."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"Most areas need improvements, all the way from the GUI to core functionality, logging, traceability, configuration, and bugs causing crashes."
"The initial setup is complex. It's not easy to deploy."
"It's very poor, just 3/10."
"The most important point is that Oracle hasn't adjusted itself to the current market, they are still doing the same thing they've done for the last 10 years."
"One of my client's audit issues was happening for almost nine months, and my previous client was the biggest client for Oracle, a premium client for Oracle, but still they were not able to resolve the issue."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The cost of this solution is high."
"The pricing could be improved."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"Over the past year, my company faced some difficulties with Saviynt. For example, some of the onboarding projects have been blocked due to responses from Saviynt."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
