Amimesh Anand - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Flexible, easy to customize, and not too difficult to set up
The initial setup isn't so difficult. The product can be flexible in the build. You can easily customize the workflows. We can set everything up on the cloud, which makes things very easy. It can easily adapt to the PoC requirement and the set requirements on the app's online version.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is identity management."
"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."
"The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."
"The protocol could be easier to use."
"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."
"The cost of this solution should be reduced."
"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 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."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"The UI is complex."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
