Oracle has the older version of Identity and Access Management (IAM), while SailPoint and Saviynt have come up with easier configurations and less coding. The cost of Oracle Identity Manager is significant, even compared to SailPoint or Saviynt, and might only be considered by the banking sector due to their larger budgets and teams. A team is also required for Oracle, increasing overall costs. Soma keeps costs down. So, Oracle is mainly about cost. Moreover, this product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping.

The user-friendliness of Oracle Identity Governance can be improved compared to other products. Also, though feature-wise, Oracle is good, other products offer better user-friendliness. In terms of additional features for the next release of Oracle Identity Governance, there is potential for more cloud-native applications to be included, making integration with other applications easier. Currently, the solution does not have strong cloud integration capabilities. However, Oracle offers another product, Oracle Identity Cloud Service, specifically for cloud applications. Combining these two products into a single platform could offer a more cost-effective solution for customers.

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.

When Oracle released the 12c version, they deleted the Privileged Account Manager from its security solutions. If a customer had implemented that in the previous release and wanted to update it, they could be faced with a huge problem because that product no longer exists. I think the platform could be enhanced and I found bugs in their documentation. Information relating to some connectors is incorrect. I think Oracle could simplify Access Manager.

Oracle Identity & Access management is scalable & stable. A network related problem from two years ago, is now resolved. There are some issues with the DIP component, workarounds have been found to avoid impact on customers.

Pricing for Oracle Identity Governance could be improved. The setup process for the tool could also be faster.

Oracle Identity Manager is an out-of-the-box solution that is not beneficial for us. We only have custom-made applications. We could have started at ground zero and made all of our own tailor-made integrations with a bigger economic advantage, saving us from having to purchase Oracle licenses. The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release. It is timing reliant, making it extremely difficult to customize. It is not a user-friendly product. We receive little benefit by purchasing the licenses.

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. You have to develop a lot of the basic things yourself. It would be nice if Oracle provided these common features.

It's difficult to use, and we're planning to switch to another application. The administration tasks for business processes, workflows, and definitions could have been easier. There should be an easier way to do it than having a dedicated ID for all these tasks. 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.

One of the areas that need some improvement with Oracle specifically is the ease of implementation. That is what is complicated. The stability could be better.

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. I have the same problem every time I implement it. It's challenging to connect different applications that are not perfect or modern. It's important to connect everything. This is an area for improvement. Synchronizing passwords between Active Directory and Oracle is very complex because the process is not so easy. I have a lot of problems.

The user interface experience needs to be improved. In order to get where you want to be, it requires multiple scripts when it should be simple with a one button click. The complexity of the tool and development could also be improved. The most important point is that Oracle hasn't adjusted itself to the current market, they are still doing the same thing they've done for the last 10 years. If you use Saviynt, for example, they have the ER implemented where they will offer suggestions. I also think the solution should have Cloud support.

The cost of this product needs to be reduced. There are other modern IAM solutions that are available at a better price, and the use cases are very easy. It is cloud-based and it caters to the needs of an enterprise. For example, there are some features that we do not use, yet we still pay for them. In the past, there was no choice, but many options are now offered. Customization is not easy to do. For example, additional reports or modules are difficult to create in a timely manner. We would like to see more support for public cloud services.

I'm not a fan of the product. I find it very complicated. The API, the intercommunication and the support all need improvement. They need to simplify the API history. The way the product is manufactured is poor because it's very, very buggy. Oracle is a buggy solution. The reporting is also very poor.

The reason we are upgrading to the next version is because today we have stretched clusters across data centers. We experienced major problems with the cluster software and the product, which is coherence. In the next version, that part will be handled by the database. We hope that we will get rid of those stability problems because of the bugs that are in there.

The improvements we feel are currently needed are: * Immediate IAM product certification to new version 12c with other Oracle products such as CRM/ERP and SAP etc. * Simplify and add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) Features that we would like to see in the next release are: * Introduce a matured Privileged Access Management solution to make the IAM stack fully compliant with any customer environment. * Provide a solid roadmap to Oracle PAM or similar product under Oracle IAM umbrella.

We are happy with the platform. We haven't identified a need or a specific point to be improved. As a matter of fact, we are looking at more creative ways to use the system for our identity management needs. I'm looking to purchase additional modules for our system.
