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 customer success and support teams have been crucial."
"The most valuable functionality of the solution for us is that when employees stop working for the municipality, they are automatically disabled in Active Directory. Omada controls that 100 percent. They are disabled for 30 days, and after that time Omada deletes the Active Directory account. The same type of thing happens when we employ a new person. Their information is automatically imported to Omada and they are equipped with the roles and rights so they can do their jobs."
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."
"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."
"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."
"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."
"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."

"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"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."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."

"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"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."
"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"Improved traceability would be helpful for administrators. For example, let's say a user's permission is being revoked. We can only see the system that has carried out a particular action but not what triggered it. If an event definition or something has changed in the criteria for the permission being removed or something like that, we don't have immediate access to that information. It takes a little detective work."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"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."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"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."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"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."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"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."
