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.

Pros

"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."
"If you are looking for an enterprise BI app, MicroStrategy includes: Data discovery Analytics Enterprise reporting Dashboards Distribution Mobile Central administration Granular security Single repository (metadata) Modelling Automation (scripts) Testing All you need in one enterprise app."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its non-stop application, as it continues to run so there are no interruptions to customers and it's able to reach many people."
"The self-service and the dossier components as well as the hyper intelligence."
"The storage is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It has a robust engine compared to other BI tools available in the market."
"The dashboard, documentation, dossiers are all valuable features."
"Most of my users are non-technical and usually a one-day hands-on session with the software allows them to easily begin to become analysts instead of report writers."
"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."
"The best part of Oracle Identity Manager is how well it will align to the business."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"Automated Provisioning to applications has removed the effort required to manually create accounts in applications, which increases our productivity."
"It has a very good response time."
"It brings centralized management of all the identities for the E-Business Suite; that's the central feature."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks."
 

Cons

"The pricing needs improvement."
"The pricing needs improvement, it need to lower prices per user to make it more accessible."
"Some of the web interface is still not as good as it could be."
"Scaling this solution can be difficult."
"Visual Insight/Desktop is trailing behind competitors such as Tableau or QlikView, which have more functionality."
"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."
"The user interface needs improvement. It needs to be more intuitive."
"If we compare it with the BI tools like Tableau, the canvas which MicroStrategy provides is not that great."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle has a lot to improve in their customer service in and around this product."
"The process of integrating with target systems can be simplified. Setting up a connector is a cumbersome process involving several interfaces, configuration objects, etc."
"Everybody's been moving onto the cloud, and it's not a cloud-based solution."
"In this area, I don't see great support."
