The most valuable feature is the user manager certification that approves or removes user access. Once managers receive results of a certification campaign, they can take action to approve or revoke access to users working for them with changes implemented at signoff.

The most valuable feature of Oracle Identity Governance is user lifecycle management. Certification is also a valuable feature of the solution. Oracle Identity Governance allows you to assign who has access to what, which is its basic feature.

View full review »What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution.

There are two valuable features. One, I am able to request any access rights I need. I don't even need to talk to my manager. I just request, and he can see the request and approve or reject it and give a reason. It's all very clear. Two, the Self Service I get is great. I can reset passwords, whether I have forgotten them or just need to change them. I don't have to call IT to help me with the password resets.

The features that we find most valuable are:
- Trusted reconciliation with target systems helps eliminate orphan accounts and alert administrators if unauthorized account detected.
- Segregation of duties and role mapping helps streamline organization application efficiency and access certification for higher management
- Workflow capabilities with customization help to achieve expected multi-level approvals with email/SMS alerts during access and account creation to responsible parties.
The most valuable feature of Identity Manager is its integration with other Oracle products. Specifically, its in the same stack as WebLogic and Database. This provides us a consistent set of products and tools, which is valuable for the continuity of both our IT and business operations.

The features I like in this solution are the RBAC and the UI customization, particularly that it has a granular level modification. I also like that it is flexible and able to implement my requirements.
It has a very good response time but on the other hand, we have experienced a number of bugs. It responds fast but because of the bugs, we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability. That's why we are not happy with the current version and we decided to upgrade it. We also tried to change the architecture setup to have less of an impact when the bugs occur and to have more availability. Oracle helped us to design the new architecture.
We didn't make concrete plans yet about when to switch because we are still working on the high availability setup path. It will be a high availability setup, each data center with an active process failover in case something blocks it.

This solution offers multiple features that are valuable.
The most valuable feature is the set of out-of-the-box connectors. The connectors can be customized, and we do make use of several custom ones.
View full review »The most valuable features are the comprehensiveness; the whole identity lifecycle management; the centralized view of people requesting access to provisioning, to SLD, and to access review; basically, the whole suite.
The features are there. Oracle has always had a good vision about where the product is going.

The one thing that stands out was is the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back. We can also automatically delete the employee's accounts when they're dismissed. Oracle has a model that gives you precise reports. It's called Crystal, and it's similar to JasperReports, so we can derive reports from this database.

- 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.

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. This is because we operate in a large environment with huge user turnover. Lots of applications are manually provisioning and deprovisioning, which can be quite daunting when done manually.

- Centralized life cycle management of identities: the centralized view of people requesting access to provisioning to targets and governing the access from one place
- Periodic certifications of access for compliance
Its value for us comes from the fact that it allows us to manage the entire identity lifecycle, including the on-boarding (provisioning), off-boarding (de-provisioning), modifications to the identities, self-service, password management, and administration of identities.

The most important feature is the connectors. Without the connectors, it can do nothing.
Also, auditing is a very good feature.

The centralization of IDs and passwords is the most valuable feature. They provide different applications to use the authorization.
CIM is the most used feature. Customer Identity Management is a challenge that we are working on in our company and I think it's the star of the Identity Management space. With CIM we are using the same process in order to implement it to the customer.
Understanding what a customer is using, what they are looking for, and allowing permissions is a challenge. We use the information we get in order to understand the behavior of the customer beyond the security and to understand what they have been doing in the last month. It's a nice way to understand what is attracting the customer and what they are clicking. That could be implemented by using this kind of application.
View full review »The best part of Oracle Identity Manager is how well it will align to the business. There are features that are more generally required by business and you can easily get them with Oracle Identity Manager. If you compare it with Azure, with the latter you need to do customization and there are a lot of limitations in each of the tools. The connectors we have for Oracle Identity Manager are good, so you don't need to do custom connectors and all.
View full review »It provides us with an integrated platform for all governance products. We now have the ability to have a complete end to end solution with a UI framework that makes customization an easy task.
View full review »Oracle Identity Manager’s most valuable feature is that it is a pretty stable product, and it works on a high load. It also has a connector for most of the legacy products, so it connects pretty much smoothly: so provisioning is pretty good with this product.
View full review »The following is a list of features that I have observed being used by my client that I have implemented:
1. User identity provisioning & lifecycle management
2. User Identity Profile/Attribute management
3. Self-Service Tool for end-user access request & password change
4. Role and Entitlement provisioning in target application/s
5. Auto de-provisioning of user identities
6. Audit capabilities & Report generation
It has more for our in-house systems like ERP, Active Directory, and Exchange and the integration of IDM with all those systems. It was very customizable. We do all our customizations in Java.
View full review »Oracle Identity Manager is not in production yet. We are evaluating the product. There is a very strong motivation to get it out there into production and there is a need for it. Sooner or later, we will be doing it.
We need an application to allow role-based access. That is our next phase of implementation. We need to get there. Once our current engagements are completed, that will become our number-one priority. Right now, as I’ve mentioned, we are evaluating it. Apparently, it seems like it's meeting our requirements.

Oracle Identity manager (OIM) is an application for identity administration and provisioning -- it's a solution which helps organizations to automate various tasks like adding, updating, disabling and or deleting user accounts from various applications from a single place. By implementing OIM in the infrastructure any organization can improve its compliance. With each step generating reports and optionally asking for authorization, there are very few places to look for a security hole.
OIM is built on Java architecture which provides a scalable, robust and secure platform, Hence I would already give it a plus one score. OIM when combined with other applications like Oracle Adaptive Access Management (OAAM), Oracle Virtual Director (OVD), Oracle Internet Directory (OID), etc gives the best results.
