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

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"There are many valuable features, most notably Single Sign-On, Identity Management, and Identity Connector Framework, which can be implemented to provision with diverse interfaces."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"Oracle Identity Management enables organizations to manage the entire life cycle of user identities across all resources in the organization while automating user provisioning and deprovisioning."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"It brings centralized management of all the identities for the E-Business Suite; that's the central feature."
"We are a pharmaceutical company; we use E-Business Suite and Identity Manager to bind into E-Business Suite, giving us the ability to carry out an e-signature so that we can track and trace anything going on in the database back to what user signed for a particular step in a manufacturing sequence and when they signed for it."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
 

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."
"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."
"Identity Manager is very complicated to set up."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
"We see a lot of Java exceptions in logs The task scheduler often doesn’t work. It loses its connection with BBDD clusters."
"Customer Service: 4/10 for Australian customer service. It seems like Oracle customer service does not know its product as well as I know it."
"Very complex due to the different sub-components."
"Dealing with Oracle support is separate from the product team, and dealing with support can be very challenging a lot of times."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
