We performed a comparison between Oracle Identity Governance and Symantec Identity Governance and Administration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."
"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."
"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."
"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"It helps provision the required accesses through policies, approvals, and whatever would be the business requirement."
"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"One thing that we are not so happy about is the user interface. It is a bit dated. I know that they are working on that, but the user interface is quite dated. Currently, it is a little bit difficult to customize the user interface to the need of the business, which is a little bit disappointing. It needs it to be a little bit easier to operate, and it should have a better user interface."
"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."
"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."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"This product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping."
"You need full visibility because the suite of features are complex and you have to be clear on what you want to implement."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"They provide a framework to develop your own connectors. A connector is a piece of software that integrates with the solutions that are not a part of the support matrix. Currently, it is difficult to create these connectors in this solution. Other solutions, such as NetIQ Identity, provide a better way to create your own connector. Currently, there is no cloud version. It should have a cloud version."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"The reporting functions."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
