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 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."
"User-friendly solution."
"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."
"We don't have to go in and do a lot of the work that we did before. It may have saved us somewhere in the range of 10 to 30 percent of the time we spent on provisioning access."
"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."
"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."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"Role-based access control (RBAC) has been crucial for role-based management in my current company. Granular access restrictions based on role-based policies were beneficial."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"Its most valuable feature is its scalability."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"The scalability potential is there if a company needs to expand."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"Self-registration and self-service password management are valuable features. The role modeling feature is also very useful. It allows you to model your enterprise role."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"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."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"In our organization, all the data is event-driven, which means that if an attribute is changed in the source system, it can be updated within a few seconds in all end-user systems. There is room for improvement in Omada regarding that. Omada is still batch-based for some processes, so sometimes it can take an hour or even four hours before the execution is run and the update is sent."
"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."
"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."
"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."
"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."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"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."
"You need full visibility because the suite of features are complex and you have to be clear on what you want to implement."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"OIA needs to improve its governance 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."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"There are several areas for improvement in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. They have no proper documentation on how to do backups. They also have a lengthy workflow process where we have to make some configurations to manage automation in the rules and in our tasks which takes time. We have to manually configure all the configuration files, and we cannot export users because there's no export system in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. What we'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for them to make configuration and integration with other systems their top priorities. We have many API systems to manage, so hopefully, if they make these enhancements shortly, we can directly connect with our API systems when using Symantec Identity Governance and Administration."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it."
