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

"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"Imprivata Identity Governance is very stable; in the past four years, I've had zero interruption to our service, and if there was an interruption, it was due to expirations or network issues."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"It allows for more centralized user management, improving system administration efficiency and reducing costs."
"Apparently, it seems like it's meeting our requirements."
"Automatic onboarding of employees and off boarding of employees, also single sign on feature is one of the key features."
"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."
"We moved to this solution because of its cost."
"Stability and scalability are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"What I found most useful in Oracle Identity Governance, feature-wise, are provisioning, de-provisioning, and termination. Those features are very good. Oracle Identity Governance can also be easily integrated with non-Oracle products, which I find valuable."
 

Cons

"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"Our issues with the solution have to do with the integration with different applications. It's not easy to connect ICAO to this kind of product. It would be better to work on the extensions of the adapters for this kind of identity management solution in order to not put in the code in the product."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult compared to other tools."
"The product design has some complications for doing some use cases. I would like to see easier onboarding of applications and easier ways to plugin the customization codes."
"Though Oracle advertises integration of Oracle Identity Manager – Oracle GRC and Oracle EBS works, but it never works in real time."
"I would rate Oracle Identity Governance a six because of complexity. Even though they have the ability to deliver and to execute, it is very monolithic and falling slightly behind compared to other products that are now built on microservices and are able to deliver much better and much easier results."
"The solution should be easy to implement with components combined in one file and built-in features to integrate target applications without having to install additional connectors."
"It would be great if the Oracle Fusion Middleware team worked on making it compatible with other application servers, as it exists in OIM9.x."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
"The licensing is expensive."
"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 licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
