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 are the comprehensiveness; the whole identity lifecycle management; the centralized view of people requesting access to provisioning, to SLD, and to access review; basically, the whole suite."

"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."

"Once integrated, the administration console, integrated workflows (Entitlement requests) for approvals and self service features."

"The provision and deprovisioning means its more secure, less administration is required, and all the information about an identity is stored in one place."

"Automatic onboarding of employees and off boarding of employees, also single sign on feature is one of the key features."

"Understanding what a customer is using, what they are looking for, and allowing permissions is a challenge. We use the information we get in order to understand the behavior of the customer beyond the security and to understand what they have been doing in the last month. It's a nice way to understand what is attracting the customer and what they are clicking. That could be implemented by using this kind of application."

"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."

"I am able to request any access rights I need."

More Oracle Identity Governance pros

"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."

"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."

Cons

"Attempted to model a hierarchical role model but the OIM Access Policies, which map roles to entitlements, don't provision entitlements from inherited roles. This is a flawed design, IMO, limiting you to a flat role model."

"Initial setup is complex in compatibility between Operating System version, Database version, Fusion Middleware version and so on."

"Identity Manager is very complicated to set up."

"Oracle Identity Governance, particularly version 12c, can handle multiple scenarios, but for a regular user, I found the use cases not that extensive, so this is an area for improvement. The implementation process for Oracle Identity Governance is also a bit more complex than how you implement competitor products, and this is another area for improvement in the solution. Technical support for Oracle Identity Governance also needs some improvement. Another area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is its documentation. Currently, it's lacking when compared to SailPoint. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Identity Governance is a bit more scope for AI-based Identity governance. If the solution has built-in intelligence, that will give it more leverage. Another feature I'd like to see in Oracle Identity Governance in the future is the option for managers to provide access to others via mobile devices or phones."

"It is cumbersome to deploy; there are multiple layers in terms of trying to get it to work; and they're also limited in terms of the number of products it can integrate with."

"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."

"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."

"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."

More Oracle Identity Governance cons

"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."

"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."

"The price is based on the number of users per year."

"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 cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."

"Price-wise, the tool is a little bit costly."

"I do not know specific pricing but the product is expensive when compared to other OIM products."

Overview

Oracle Identity Governance (OIG) is a very versatile and robust enterprise identity management solution that offers functional and business performance competence by supplying centralized administration and total automation of identity and client provisioning events throughout the organization and user applications. Oracle Identity Governance monitors the complete identity and role process to satisfy rapidly changing business and complex compliance regulations and quickly delivers critical reporting and compliance capabilities.

Oracle Identity Governance is designed to easily identify which users have approved access to specific applications and other resources. It does this by using processes such as segregation of duties (SOD), role-based access control (RBAC), certifications, and access requests.

Oracle Identity Governance Features

Self-service wizard: Oracle Identity Governance has worked to make the onboarding of applications significantly easier. It no longer takes numerous steps and technical expertise. The self-service wizard makes the process simple and user-friendly.
Self-service APIs: This gives Oracle Identity Governance users an improved user experience (UX). The REST APIs for user self-service can be used for both web and mobile users. Oracle Identity Governance users are easily able to view user accounts and roles, in addition to being able to complete self-service tasks such as forgotten passwords, registration, and more.
Certification: Oracle Identity Governance offers many certification options, such as a custom access reviewer, group reviewing support, and designate certifications by completed percentage. OIG can also focus on specific role access and anomalies for access beyond a user-defined role (UDF).
Integration connectors: Oracle Identity Governance has many integration connector options for both cloud and on-premises deployments. Popular categories include Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and traditional and hybrid systems such as Fusion Applications (FA). OIG also integrates well with connectors to Database Application Tables (DBAT), scripting tools, and web services. OIG offers several integration connectors with many of today’s top SaaS applications, such as Dropbox, Google Apps, Office 365, ServiceNow, and WebEx.

Reviews from Real Users

“The one thing that stands out was the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back. We can also automatically delete the employee's accounts when they're dismissed. Oracle has a model that gives you precise reports. It's called Crystal, and it's similar to JasperReports, so we can derive reports from this database. “ - Fabio L., Partner at a tech services company.

“We are using Oracle Identity Manager for the management of the identity cycle. We have a human resources system as a source, and we have some custom-made applications as a destination of the changes in the identities. - A PeerSpot user who is a Project Manager at a government “
