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 Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."
"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."
"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"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."
"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."
"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."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"This solution has improved the organization in several ways, including saving many help-desk password-reset calls, IT staff productivity, and quicker user on-boarding."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"It has a very good response time."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"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."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"The scalability potential is there if a company needs to expand."
"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 architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."
"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."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."
"Omada Identity has a steep learning curve."
"They need to improve their backup strategy."
"The user interface experience needs to be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"The drawback with the CA Identity Manager is they don't have a connector to HR systems like SAP, or PeopleSoft, or Workday. That's a major drawback with the CA Identity Manager. For that we have to do lots of custom quoting to get data from HR systems. And if they could connect it to GRC systems, that's good to have in an identity product."
"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."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
