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 aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never forgets. Everything you have done in the past is recorded in Omada. The system is only as good as the data you put in. If you have bad data, you will have bad results. Omada has a lot of logic and processes, but it isn't a machine learning system that can detect, for example, if an email address is written wrong."
"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."
"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."
"The identity lifecycle support is definitely valuable because we are a complex organization, and there is a lot of onboarding, movement, and offboarding in our organization. We have 31,000 users, and there are a lot of users who are constantly onboarding, offboarding, and moving. So, we need to make sure that these activities are supported. In old times, we used to do everything manually. Everyone was onboarded, offboarded, or moved manually. So, from a business point of view and an economics point of view, identity lifecycle is most valuable. From a security point of view, access review is the most important feature for us."
"Scalability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten. Oracle Identity Governance is a scalable solution, without a doubt."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"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."
"The support service of Oracle is good. We use it a lot and their response is quick."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"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."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"
"I would like to search on date fields, which is not possible now."
"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."
"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."
"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."
"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."
"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"Oracle Identity Governance, particularly version 12c, can handle multiple scenarios, but for a regular user, I found the use cases not that extensive, so this is an area for improvement. The implementation process for Oracle Identity Governance is also a bit more complex than how you implement competitor products, and this is another area for improvement in the solution. Technical support for Oracle Identity Governance also needs some improvement. Another area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is its documentation. Currently, it's lacking when compared to SailPoint. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Identity Governance is a bit more scope for AI-based Identity governance. If the solution has built-in intelligence, that will give it more leverage. Another feature I'd like to see in Oracle Identity Governance in the future is the option for managers to provide access to others via mobile devices or phones."
"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."
"Automation of validation exercises performed by humans over Recon Exceptions generated as a result of an access synchronization event over a user's need for access or not."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional features."
"It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability."
"Identity Governance is a difficult tool to work with. You have to input many models to understand what is happening with the logins. The user interface is not so good. And a lot of the features we use aren't available out of the box."
"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."
"Reporting could be improved."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"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."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"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."
