The connectors are valuable, however it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested.

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."
"The features I like in this solution are the RBAC and the UI customization, particularly that it has a granular level modification."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"It has improved the way my organization functions through customer implemented OIM and OIA."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"The provision and deprovisioning means its more secure, less administration is required, and all the information about an identity is stored in one place."
"The one thing that stands out was is the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back."
"There is no doubt that this product scales well."
 

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 user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"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."
"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."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"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."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"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."
