Enhanced security and simplicity in deployment for a holistic protection

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment. You only need to purchase and assign licenses to users, and there's no need for extensive setup. Another valuable feature is its integration with Google Workspace, which enhances security through context-aware access and allows for geographic and IP-specific restrictions. This ensures secure access to applications and data.

Offers single sign-on capabilities to users

Suppose you are totally dependent and have requirements where you have a cloud application or several applications for integration with the cloud. In that case, I will suggest the use of Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Oracle Identity Cloud Service has much scope for customization. If you have a high customization level, then I would suggest IAM. The tool's multifactor authentication capabilities are easy to implement. If a client has a banking system, they need a strong authentication service, and only a password is not required; the user has to authenticate via fingerprint, face recognition, or go for or any RSA token. Double authentication is required where the banking department has access to very critical applications, or else they cannot go ahead and give the password. It is very difficult to hack once you have MFA in place. You have to either give the print fingerprint or any RSA token, making it not so easy to hack the system. We suggest MFA to clients who have the most critical application with them. I recommend the tool for every client we have, but it depends on how they want to have it because some customers don't want to go for the cloud application, and they might be thinking about changing the cloud vendors. Suppose a company has some costs in mind, and if they have a large number of employees, like 50,000 or 1,00,000 users, then it will be costlier for them than having an on-prem tool, like IAM. If a customer has 5,000, 10,000, or 20,00 employees, Oracle Identity Cloud Service can be a cheaper tool than the IAM product. I will suggest Oracle Identity Cloud Service only for smaller organizations. The tool does not have any AI capabilities. I would recommend the tool to everyone. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

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 of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."

"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment."

"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."

"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."

"I used it as an administrator without implementing it myself. As for valuable aspects or benefits, the significant point is that it's a straightforward, single solution that just works."

"The most valuable feature is the performance."

"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization."

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations. Since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management."

"The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."

"Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable."

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."

Cons

"The integration should be made easier."

"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."

"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."

"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."

"Technical support is slow."

"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."

"The customer service and support team is not so good."

"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"The protocol could be easier to use."

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."

"The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration."

"We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."

"Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."

"Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too."

"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."

"The solution is not expensive."

"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."

"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."

"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The tool's implementation costs totally depend on the number of users. The cost depends on how many users are going to use it, so a per-user cost model is needed for the tool."
