Pros & Cons summary

Oracle Identity Governance offers valuable features such as OIM Connector framework, Single Sign-On, scalability, and RBAC, enhancing provisioning and automation for large organizations. Integration with non-Oracle products boosts adaptability. However, deployment complexity, Active Directory integration issues, and a limited connector list pose challenges. The architecture requires modernization and non-Java coding options. Comprehensive reporting enhances accountability, but improvements in application integration and infrastructure demands are necessary to compete effectively with tools like SailPoint.
