Oracle Identity Governance comes with Oracle Fusion Middleware, which includes Identity Manager, Access Manager (OEM), connectors (Service Bus), workflows (SOA), and directory services (OID, OUD, OVD). This entire package is costly, so smaller organizations might not prefer it.

Role-based access control (RBAC) has been crucial for role-based management in my current company. Granular access restrictions based on role-based policies were beneficial.

Moreover, Oracle Identity Governance's interface is user-friendly when managing identities. It is not that easy, but it is moderate. 

Single Sign On & identity management for all Oracle products used in the company.

The way we have designed and implemented the solution has set us up to become a shared service model. This platform allows for us to customize any solution to meet the business capabilities.

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.

We provide it as a service to the government. Identity Manager solves a very real problem that they have which is to control all identities they have in their system as well as access to those identities. So it really is essential to the entire life cycle of tracking identities, a problem that IM solves.

The greatest benefit is increased efficiency so we can manage the identify lifecycle faster and better and so we can govern the access from a central place and make it easier.

Over time, it will improve the way my organization functions. We've had some challenges as far as rolling it out, but that's the goal. We have a consistent set of processes, so we need a consistent toolset to be able to disperse across our organization.

OIM eliminates the need for manual creation of users and assigning of various resources. It reduces the time needed for onboarding new users.

It replaced the old Oracle SSO and OID, helping us save on support for off-the-shelf products.

Also, it easily integrates with other applications, even with custom apps.

It streamlines the management of users, and it also provides compliance, in terms of the policies around maintaining identities, expiration, and so on.

In the past, we had to manually create user accounts. Now, our identity management system automatically manages users' access privileges. All we need to do is send the orders through.

It has improved my organization tremendously. When compared to its introduction five years ago, OIM in my organization has improved its use and dependability, allowing us to pass audit each time.

We are a pharmaceutical company. We use E-Business Suite and Identity Manager to bind into E-Business Suite. That gives us the ability to carry out an e-signature so that we can track and trace anything going on, or what's going on in the database base, back to what user signed for a particular step in a manufacturing sequence, and when they signed for it. So with Single-Sign On, we can basically audit each step of a particular piece of manufacturing, who carried out the step, and when they carried out the step.

Application access is provided to and removed from end users in a timely manner, which removes delays in the on-boarding/off-boarding process. It also improves productivity and security.

It has allowed us to integrate multiple applications in one place. From there, we can manage all application access controls with many available features.

One of the most visible improvements would be the fast turn around for getting users access to the system on the day they start work and getting users out of the environment on the last day of work.

The organizational benefit is increased efficiency and simplicity so that we can manage the identify lifecycle faster and better, and so we can govern the access from a central place and make it easier.

It helps in streamlining the identity lifecycle management, beginning with bringing in an employee, contractor or partner into the system to until the day they leave the organization.

It also streamlines many front desk operational tasks such as password management, personal and business detail updates, and it improves the governance around identity management.

In the case of enterprise identity for the employee, the most important thing is the consolidation of access to the application no matter what the channel is that uses the application. It unifies the way we do authorization. 

For big companies, that is a nightmare to administrate because we have a lot of security problems. With CIM, we connect the customers to a channel to using different portals and with that approach, we can understand the behavior of the customer.

When I joined my project, they had been using a meta directory for identity management and application provisioning. There were around 150,000 active accounts, out of which many were redundant. They had left the organization 10 years ago. They were still active and they were paying for the maintenance of those accounts on a monthly basis. And there was no data clarity. So the moment we on-boarded Oracle Identity Manager, we started data cleansing, and started to do unmanaged account reconciliations.

With the help of support, we were able to reduce the cost of every identity which was active and was not in the organization.

The audit became a breeze as the entire provisioning approval process has been brought under the the gamut of OIM. All SOX audits became very easy as the entire audit information required is available from OIM system with respect to user access control.

Oracle Identity Manager helps to organize, control, and maintain the user IDs and user access keys for an organization. It also has an Activity Manager, for handling situations such as an employee leaving the company.

I have seen an organization benefit through the automation of mundane repeat tasks related to setting up user identities, and managing user access as per a defined role. One of the key business driving factors for OIM implementation has been SOX compliance. End User Self-Service like password reset and access request is another feature that helps to reduce helpdesk calls.

We have used this product to automate our manual business processes, like onboarding and other processes.

• Security
• Online resources

The ability to customize operations, unlike other products like Tivoli and, perhaps, NetIQ. I think Oracle Identity Manager provides a lot of flexibility to customize solutions, especially in the field of organizations, where you have X amount of applications to manage.

The user-level management has improved when you have this solution in place. It's very difficult for us to manage the user access at the corporate level. It is a 24/7 job and we are global with multiple locations. We have user groups who manage all user access on the global level. That is easier to do with Oracle Identity Management in place.

It has helped in central user management and the automation of account handling and creation for multiple systems. It has also helped in data interaction between customer and third party data, which is an integral part of any business these days.

We have been able, after eight months of coding our own Java classes, to implement a Joiner/Mover/Leaver process.

It has assisted us with UI customization, as well as connecting to other frameworks using the OSB (Oracle Service Bus) and Custom Connectors.

Automatic onboarding of employees and off boarding of employees, also single sign on feature is one of the key features.

It has streamlined user account lifecycle management and single sign on.

OIM contributes majorly to simplifying the user management and role management capabilities of corporate users (employees, contractors, partners, and customers) from regulatory compliance requirements by enabling least privileged access.

The provision and deprovisioning means its more secure, less administration is required, and all the information about an identity is stored in one place. It saves costs of having to administer a user in every area or application.

We now have better control of our identity data and entitlements in target systems. Automation of provisioning, updating and deprovisioning of accounts in target systems.

It has improved the way my organization functions through customer implemented OIM and OIA. It keeps us compliant and away from risks and federal penalties.

Used it for external user registration, password & profile management

Attempted to model a hierarchical role model but the OIM Access Policies, which map roles to entitlements, don't provision entitlements from inherited roles. This is a flawed design, IMO, limiting you to a flat role model.

As an SI, I have implemented this product at multiple customers and it has improved overall user management.

It helped us reduce the user management cost, and strengthen IT security by reducing the risk.

We are a Consulting company but for our customers it saves time, help the user management and after implemented the company’s help desk is trained to support their employees.

It has helped in automating and reducing manual processes.

The user just has to search the product+role in OIM and request it, with an approval workflow. The account is created automatically.

Automated Provisioning to applications has removed the effort required to manually create accounts in applications, which increases our productivity.

It allows for more centralized user management, improving system administration efficiency and reducing costs.
