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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support service of Oracle is good; we use it a lot and their response is quick."
"It has streamlined user account lifecycle management and single sign on."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"We have used this product to automate our manual business processes, like onboarding and other processes."
"Application access is provided to and removed from end users in a timely manner, which removes delays in the on-boarding/off-boarding process and also improves productivity and security."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."
"Customer Identity Management is a challenge that we are working on in our company and I think it's the star of the Identity Management space."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"At the moment, my company hasn't seen ROI from Oracle Identity Governance."
"New application onboarding requires a lot of complex configurations and setups to complete the onboarding of a new application."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"In this area, I don't see great support."
"I am not currently recommending the product to clients because there are other good products on the market that can be implemented and used in their environments with minimal customization."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a thick, heavy application and has fewer application connectors compared to SailPoint, which offers a large number of out-of-box connectors, making integration easier."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"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 can't say much about the pricing for Oracle Identity Governance because it's different from one geography to another. In India, the license price costs less than in other geographies."
