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."Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has 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 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."
"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 most valuable aspect is its usability."
"The proactive controls which can be configured to a granular level allowing the organization the flexibility to meet the changing demands of the workforce."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"Password management is a valuable feature."
"I have found the OIM Connector framework, based on ICF, to be the most valuable feature."
"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 most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"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."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"I like that it is easy to diagnose. It has a version of a virtual appliance so we can download it, run it, configure it, and it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to configure the cluster or so."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"It offers a nice price. It's mid-range."
"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"
"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."
"Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS)."
"You need full visibility because the suite of features are complex and you have to be clear on what you want to implement."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"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."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
