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."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"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."
"OIM is the right product and it is a good fit for enterprise deployments."
"Stability and scalability are very good."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"There is no doubt that this product scales well."
"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."
"The solution helps us to define roles and get people to specific tasks; from this point of view, it is an amazing tool."
"The organizational benefit is increased efficiency and simplicity so that we can manage the identity lifecycle faster and better, and so we can govern the access from a central place and make it easier."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is difficult compared to other tools."
"The process of integrating with target systems can be simplified. Setting up a connector is a cumbersome process involving several interfaces, configuration objects, etc."
"Most areas need improvements, all the way from the GUI to core functionality, logging, traceability, configuration, and bugs causing crashes."
"Sometimes the support is not able to resolve our issues and they're often changing support engineers."
"Oracle's support is not as good as that of other vendors."
"One of my client's audit issues was happening for almost nine months, and my previous client was the biggest client for Oracle, a premium client for Oracle, but still they were not able to resolve the issue."
"The product suite is abundantly heavy and complex and requires a lot of simplification."
"Oracle has a lot to improve in their customer service in and around this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."
