What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

After purchasing the solution we only needed to pay for the implementation phase to build the connectors etc. and the annual standard licensing fee for support.

Helps us to define roles and get people to specific tasks. It is hard to implement due to the security that we have to manage.

What is most valuable?

The solution helps us to define roles and get people to specific tasks. From this point of view, it is an amazing tool.

What needs improvement?

It is really hard to implement Oracle Data Manager because we have a lot security that we need to manage. We have a lot of security, so it is a bit difficult to implement, but it is still a good product. In Canada, we have some difficulty in getting training about this. They ask for at least five people in a class and we only have three people in our team. It's impossible to get the training. We… more»

What other advice do I have?

I'm new at this, but I know that the tool is working. I'm not sure if the problems are coming from us or from the implementation itself. We need to balance the complexity versus the quantity of users and the way that we manage all the connectors.

It has enough flexibility to unify the access management needs of any organization into one place

What is most valuable?

* The automatic user management lifecycle with role-based features is great. * It is also an application that makes it easy for on-boarding, automatic access privilege, and single sign-on with internal as well as external applications. * It also has enough flexibility to unify the access management needs of any organization into one place.

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

Some of the valuable features are provisioning workflows and identifying life-cycle management

What is most valuable?

* Provisioning workflow * Accessing policies to automate provisioning requirements * Identifying lifecycle management * Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What needs improvement?

This applies to the latest version of OIM support in WebLogic and WebSphere application servers only. 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.
