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 User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"We are able to onboard new user accounts much faster by automating the process and standardizing our operations globally. Previously, there were many individual processes and manual admin interactions. We also see a lot of cost savings and benefits because through automation and standardization."
"Omada's user interface is elegant and easy to work with. I like Omada's ability to automatically generate accounts for new hires and allow them access to all required systems by established policies. Around 80 percent of workers can start working immediately on their first day without requesting further access."
"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."
"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."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"The key benefit of Omada Identity is maintaining complete control."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Identity Governance is user lifecycle management. Certification is also a valuable feature of the solution. Oracle Identity Governance allows you to assign who has access to what, which is its basic feature."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"Using the implementation guide, I was able to implement the solution with ease."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"We are still on Omada on-prem, but I understand that when Omada is in the cloud, you cannot send an attachment via email. We have some emails with attachments for new employees because we have to explain to them how to register and do their multi-factor authentication. All that information is in the attachment. People have to do that before they are in our system. We cannot give them a link to our Intranet and SharePoint because they do not yet have access. They have to register before that, so I need to send the attachments, but this functionality is not there in the cloud."
"The UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."
"An area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is that it isn't refreshed or updated as much. The only area that changed on it in the last five years was the GUI. The solution still has the same installation, troubleshooting, and configuration. Oracle Identity Governance is still very complicated when compared to other solutions. It seems that Oracle doesn't focus too much on Oracle Identity Governance in terms of making some improvements to it."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"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."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"I would like to see automation in the solution. We need also integration with the Identity Manager. The solution needs to improve in the application integrations part. It also needs to focus on application deployment as well."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"It would be great if the Oracle Fusion Middleware team worked on making it compatible with other application servers, as it exists in OIM9.x."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"The reporting functions."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"Reporting could be improved."
