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 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."
"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."
"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."
"Omada's most valuable aspect is its usability."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."
"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."
"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 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."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"I am able to request any access rights I need."
"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."
"The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access."
"OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time."
"The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing."
"Good features are the RBAC and UI customization."
"The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors."
"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."
"The product’s most valuable feature is flexibility. It can be customized as per the customer’s requirements."
"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."
"Governance."
"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."
"When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in Omada's integration capabilities, particularly in streamlining complex integrations and enhancing programming logic for better rule management."
"Functionality and usability could be improved."
"The web GUI can be improved."
"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface should have a more flexible design, where you can change it to your requirement."
"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."
"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."
"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."
"I have yet to see its full functionality exercised in my organization."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more segregation managed through Oracle Identity Manager."
"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."
"Reporting could be improved."
"The support from Symantec Identity Governance and Administration could improve."
"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."
"A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"Provisioning has a dependency on Windows."
"The reporting functions."
"The product's technical support could be better."
