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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You simply cannot use Google Apps without it, so it's a no brainer."
"BetterCloud saved help desk time by automating processes, providing a reasonable return on investment."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"The most valuable features are the comprehensiveness; the whole identity lifecycle management; the centralized view of people requesting access to provisioning, to SLD, and to access review; basically, the whole suite."
"It allows for more centralized user management, improving system administration efficiency and reducing costs."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"We have been able, after eight months of coding our own Java classes, to implement a Joiner/Mover/Leaver process."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"Apparently, it seems like it's meeting our requirements."
 

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."
"Initial setup is complex in compatibility between Operating System version, Database version, Fusion Middleware version and so on."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is that it isn't refreshed or updated as much. The only area that changed on it in the last five years was the GUI. The solution still has the same installation, troubleshooting, and configuration. Oracle Identity Governance is still very complicated when compared to other solutions. It seems that Oracle doesn't focus too much on Oracle Identity Governance in terms of making some improvements to it."
"Once it is up and running it's okay, but it has many bumps. They are always putting out fixes, but it's hard to get implemented without patching, so it's not great."
"At the moment, my company hasn't seen ROI from Oracle Identity Governance."
"The Design console is a bit dated and complicated to use when in development."
"Dealing with Oracle support is separate from the product team, and dealing with support can be very challenging a lot of times."
"Oracle has a lot to improve in their customer service in and around this product."
"In customer identity management, the product suffers performance issues when scaled up to large numbers of users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"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."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"The licensing is expensive."
