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 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"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."
"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."
"The most valuable features in Oracle Identity Governance are identity and access management."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"The one thing that stands out was is the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back."
"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"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."
"It has a very good response time."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."
"Omada could communicate better with us about the product roadmap. We haven't gotten any updates about it. The user interface is often a bit difficult to understand. It isn't optimized for small screens, so it doesn't display all of the information clearly, so users need to scroll a lot."
"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."
"Omada could make it a bit more convenient to send emails based on events automatically. Having that functionality is critical for us to maintain transparency."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"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 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."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."
"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."
"The platform could be enhanced with additional 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."
"OIA needs to improve its governance features."
"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."
"Oracle Identity Governance can capture a lot of loads, it's stable. However, we once had a problem two years ago, but it is now resolved. There are some issues still present, but they're operational. They don't impact the customers. There are some improvements that can be done."
"The reporting functions."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
"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."
