The identity manager, governance, and identity portal features are especially valuable and helpful
I found all of the features to be quite valuable, especially the identity manager, governance, and identity portal. All of the features are helpful The connectors for the identity and governance part could use some improvement, by way of adding more areas. They need more development to cover more…

Comprehensive features and strong support enhance operations
Direct comparison of OIG/OIM/OAM would require several factors to count in. Other than being excellent product, it would be more convenient to have more 3rd party integrations/connectors available for main stream applications (or even databases) that require less development with frequent certifications/version updates (though this cannot be avoided altogether). Single Interface/same screen would be handy. We have not use the product for analytics for anomaly detection, as we had a blend of different products, and identity management wasn't used particularly for this purpose. Oracle suite provides comprehensive Governance The scope of the identity management or Oracle IDM/IAM/OID/OIG is vast, and while we've implemented/evaluated 30-50% of its features, it's not done at full scale to include full-fledged governance/compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the speed of implementation. Now with the Virtual Appliance, it's much faster. In the past, to implement this kind of solution, it would take so many weeks. Now, it takes one day, or minutes, and we have the deployment ready."
"With the Virtual Appliance, combined with CA Identity Manager and GovernanceMinder as one solution, it eliminates having multiple infrastructure requirements, multiple products, and gives a holistic view of the access granting."
"Nowadays it is offered as a Virtual Appliance, and that saves considerable time for installing and controlling it."
"I found all of them quite valuable, especially the identity manager, governance, and identity portal. All the features are helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the re-certification campaign capabilities."
"You can spin up IDM or Identity Suite in a few hours and it is ready to use."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"This solution has improved the organization in several ways, including saving many help-desk password-reset calls, IT staff productivity, and quicker user on-boarding."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"It is able to save time and money as everything is automated: user access provisioning, password policy management, and reporting."
 

Cons

"The documentation can be improved because sometimes we have some technical issues that were not documented and we have to rely on support to solve them. Then there are issues around getting the architecture, but it's challenging to get the architecture."
"I would like synchronization when a mapping is added between end points. Currently, the synchronization is not complete. It would be great if this synchronization happened immediately."
"The connectors for the identity and governance part could use some improvement, by way of adding more areas. They need more development to cover more target applications."
"If there was a seamless integration between portal and IdentityMinder, then that would help a bit."
"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."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"Oracle Identity Governance can capture a lot of loads, it's stable. However, we once had a problem two years ago, but it is now resolved. There are some issues still present, but they're operational. They don't impact the customers. There are some improvements that can be done."
"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."
"The solution requires too much infrastructure and should be less code-heavy."
"Oracle Identity Governance is complex and heavy from an implementation perspective."
"This product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is expensive."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"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 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 licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."

What do you like most about Oracle Identity Governance?

I see areas for improvement, as they need to introduce more connectors; they have around 20 plus connectors currently but can improve in that area. The only thing bothering me is the connectors, as...
