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 Identity Management (IM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."
"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."
"The most valuable feature of Omada is its API connectivity, which allows seamless integration with various services like SAP, GRC, and Microsoft licenses."
"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."
"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."
"User-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic provisioning and reconciliation of things like the Active Directory groups and memberships."
"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"What I found most useful in Oracle Identity Governance, feature-wise, are provisioning, de-provisioning, and termination. Those features are very good. Oracle Identity Governance can also be easily integrated with non-Oracle products, which I find valuable."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Identity manager is the best tool in the market for access managers."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"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."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"Using the implementation guide, I was able to implement the solution with ease."
"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."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"Omada's performance could be better because we had some latency issues. Still, it's difficult to say how much of that is due to Omada versus the resources used by our other vendors in our on-prem environment. Considering the resources we have invested into making it run well, it's slightly slower than we would expect."
"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."
"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 UI design needs improvement. One or two years ago, Omada changed its user interface to simplify, but the simplification has not really kicked in."
"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."
"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."
"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 product design has some complications for doing some use cases. I would like to see easier onboarding of applications and easier ways to plugin the customization codes."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"I would like to see automation in the solution. We need also integration with the Identity Manager. The solution needs to improve in the application integrations part. It also needs to focus on application deployment as well."
"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."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
"In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications."
