We performed a comparison between Oracle Identity Governance and Symantec Identity Governance and Administration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."
"Role-based access control (RBAC) has been crucial for role-based management in my current company. Granular access restrictions based on role-based policies were beneficial."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"Governance."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"Identity Governance is a difficult tool to work with. You have to input many models to understand what is happening with the logins. The user interface is not so good. And a lot of the features we use aren't available out of the box."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"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."
"The drawback with the CA Identity Manager is they don't have a connector to HR systems like SAP, or PeopleSoft, or Workday. That's a major drawback with the CA Identity Manager. For that we have to do lots of custom quoting to get data from HR systems. And if they could connect it to GRC systems, that's good to have in an identity product."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
