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."User-friendly solution."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"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 aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"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 has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."
"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."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"It has a very good response time."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"The most important features that have impacted our environment recently are the Single Sign-On solution, role based provisioning, and the automated provisioning of accounts to target systems."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"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."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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 user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"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."
"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."
"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."
"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"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."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"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."
"Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster."
"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."
"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."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved."
"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."
"Reporting could 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."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
"The reporting functions."
