We performed a comparison between ForgeRock and Oracle Identity Governance 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."The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."
"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."
"We have found the identity and access management tools in the solution to be particularly useful for our organization."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"The product is easy to set up."
"We create and define the permissions and configurations for the users."
"ForgeRock is an extensive product with many functionalities and capabilities, much more than many other tools combined."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users."
"We used it to implement multi-factor authentication and to improve our security posture as well as reducing the potential for attacks."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"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."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"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."
"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"The web GUI can be improved."
"We are trying to use Omada's standards and to adapt our processes. But we have had some trouble with the bad documentation. This is something that they could improve on. It has not been possible for us to analyze some of the problems so far, based on the documentation. We always need consultants. The documentation should include some implementation hints and some guidelines for implementing the processes."
"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."
"We would like this solution to be developed for use with mobile applications."
"We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced."
"I find that it's quite expensive for just an open-source system. Support is quite expensive."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"ForgeRock is an open source solution and is available to everyone but it is not freeware. If you need support, you need a subscription for ForgeRock. Many of its functionalities need to be built up with the help of a consultant."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement. It is user-friendly, but there is always scope for improvement."
"Automatic Deployment needs improvement. it could be made easier."
"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"The development and the administration side could be a lot more intuitive and easier to use than it currently is, in terms of functionality and what it tries to achieve as a Single Sign-On entity for an enterprise environment."
"One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation."
"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."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"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."
"The product design has some complications for doing some use cases. I would like to see easier onboarding of applications and easier ways to plugin the customization codes."
"Our issues with the solution have to do with the integration with different applications. It's not easy to connect ICAO to this kind of product. It would be better to work on the extensions of the adapters for this kind of identity management solution in order to not put in the code in the product."
