A compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see, although I can't run it across all systems because some of them don't have all the required configurations.
This solution exposes things that are going on. Here's an analogy: the first time you look at drop of water in a microscope, you don’t know what things are floating around. You see things that you want to investigate, but you don’t know whether they're good or bad. With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see. He sees both the good and the bad, makes a determination of whether they're indeed good or bad, and then takes the necessary steps or actions to take the good and get rid of the bad. In this way, it allows him to do better things with regard to security control, certificates, role management, and other role-based access.

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

"With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see."
"There are two valuable features. One, I am able to request any access rights I need. I don't even need to talk to my manager. I just request, and he can see the request and approve or reject it and give a reason. It's all very clear."
"It helped us reduce the user management cost, and strengthen IT security by reducing the risk."
"Oracle Identity Governance is a very complete product."
"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 allows for more centralized user management, improving system administration efficiency and reducing costs."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool, as it allows you to do any customization on Java since it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java, and I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable, so in my company, where there are a lot of users, my company prefers this solution."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) really stands out in user account creation, provisioning, SSO, and compliance support, with granular self-service functions that can be customized to suit an organization's needs and extended by building and integrating what you cannot find out of the box."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, right now it's just eye candy and, despite the ability for a compliance manager to see things he wouldn't otherwise see, it still hasn't provided the benefits we had hoped."
"Dealing with Oracle support is separate from the product team, and dealing with support can be very challenging a lot of times."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"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."
"Initial setup is complex in compatibility between Operating System version, Database version, Fusion Middleware version and so on."
"It is cumbersome to deploy; there are multiple layers in terms of trying to get it to work; and they're also limited in terms of the number of products it can integrate with."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"I would not recommend Oracle Identity Governance to others since its architecture and design do not solve modern world problems effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."
"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"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."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
