Improved the way to exploit and analyze data and offers no interruptions in service when running
The most valuable aspect of the solution is it's non-stop application. It continues to run so there are no interruptions to customers. It's also able to reach many people. The solution has good analysis features to make sure there's good sizing (so that it's not too big or too small) and allows room for growth if a company needs it.

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.

Cons

"In the dossier section, they have something called documents, which is very good, but they are implementing something called dossiers also. If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great. The formatting options are limited is dossiers. In terms of formatting and making the reports more presentable, it's lagging a little bit behind."
"Some of the web interface is still not as good as it could be."
"There are a lot of issues that occurred while I was using MicroStrategy."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"Right now, we have to apply many workarounds for the solution to do what we need it to do. There are a lot of bugs."
"If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great."
"Visual Insight/Desktop is trailing behind competitors such as Tableau or QlikView, which have more functionality."
"The Web Intelligence graphic capabilities can be improved."
"The solution requires too much infrastructure and should be less code-heavy."
"Oracle's support is not as good as that of other vendors."
"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."
"Scalability is one of the problems that we've had. Now that we've had it in production, and we have X number of concurrent users, we're having some performance issues."
"The Design console is a bit dated and complicated to use when in development."
"It's very poor, just 3/10."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"My pain point was while migrating my current user base."
