Experienced easy deployment and stable performance but user support needs improvement
The most valuable features are that BetterCloud had a much more sophisticated workflow management toolset than Google itself. It was easy to build onboarding and offboarding workflows, which could handle the desired complexity versus out-of-the-box Google. BetterCloud allowed us to reallocate storage so all files created by a departing member would get reallocated to the manager, thus retaining access. BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment. BetterCloud now offers SaaS platform tracking capabilities, a key, previously missing feature.

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.

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

Pros

"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"You simply cannot use Google Apps without it, so it's a no brainer."
"Once integrated, the administration console, integrated workflows (Entitlement requests) for approvals and self service features."
"Automatic onboarding of employees and off boarding of employees, also single sign on feature is one of the key features."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Identity Governance is user lifecycle management. Certification is also a valuable feature of the solution. Oracle Identity Governance allows you to assign who has access to what, which is its basic feature."
"It has helped in automating and reducing manual processes."
"It has a very good response time."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"There is no doubt that this product scales well."
"The solution helps us to define roles and get people to specific tasks; from this point of view, it is an amazing tool."
 

Cons

"The account support team was weak in engagement and communication, contributing to the decision to move to more comprehensive solutions."
"Would love for it to be able to replace our SSO as well as provide connectivity and the same level of automation to our other SaaS products."
"We see a lot of Java exceptions in logs The task scheduler often doesn’t work. It loses its connection with BBDD clusters."
"It would be beneficial if there were more connectors available from Oracle, as there is a long list of connectors, and they can be developed over time."
"The most important point is that Oracle hasn't adjusted itself to the current market, they are still doing the same thing they've done for the last 10 years."
"The Design console is a bit dated and complicated to use when in development."
"Technical support is horrible. It is faster to find the resolution ourselves than rely on support."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
"At the moment, my company hasn't seen ROI from Oracle Identity Governance."
"Automation of validation exercises performed by humans over Recon Exceptions generated as a result of an access synchronization event over a user's need for access or not."
