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.

Configuration based tool that requires less coding compared to other IAM products.
* The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark. * Tutorial and solution examples are lacking in RSA community center. * Customization flexibility is also minimal due to this sometimes not able to fulfill the organization's complex requirements.

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 feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"Its value for us comes from the fact that it allows us to manage the entire identity lifecycle, including the on-boarding (provisioning), off-boarding (de-provisioning), modifications to the identities, self-service, password management, and administration of identities."
"It helped us reduce the user management cost, and strengthen IT security by reducing the risk."
"One thing for sure, is that it is the most comprehensive solution out there in the market."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"The best part of Oracle Identity Manager is how well it will align to the business."
"The most important feature is the connectors, and auditing is also a very good feature."
"It provides us with an integrated platform for all governance products."
"After implementing RSA Aveksa, all the above mentioned issues have been resolved."
"After IMG most of the tasks happen automatically, but also offer manual provisioning from a single GUI for all applications."
"Violations are highlighted almost real-time and can be managed much more effectively -and this reduces risk exposure of sensitive applications"
"I am still amazed what this tool can do."
 

Cons

"The management of workflows could use some improvement as well as the overall performance of the product."
"Sometimes, it does not meet our expectations in terms of stability."
"Oracle has a lot to improve in their customer service in and around this product."
"Dealing with Oracle support is separate from the product team, and dealing with support can be very challenging a lot of times."
"Licensing"
"The process of integrating with target systems can be simplified. Setting up a connector is a cumbersome process involving several interfaces, configuration objects, etc."
"Automation of validation exercises performed by humans over Recon Exceptions generated as a result of an access synchronization event over a user's need for access or not."
"Technical support is good. Most of the support is online, and they take their time."
"When running big collections/connections for the first time, we encountered some performance issues."
"In the older versions, there were sometimes instances where memory would get used up and the application would need a restart."
"There are some crucial adapters missing for SAP CUA and for some Legacy applications."
"The Access Provisioning process needs to be improved. Compared to other IAM tool the architecture of provisioning process is not up to the mark."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."
"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."
"The price is based on the number of users per year."
"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."
"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."
"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."
"The licensing is expensive."
