Oracle Identity Governance Initial Setup
The initial setup process for the solution is complex, requiring an organization to engage a system integrator (SI) to implement it. Not just for Oracle Identity Governance, but also other Identity Governance solutions in the market require an SI for integration.
Depending on the requirements, the solution can be deployed either on the cloud or on-premise. So, the same solution can be deployed in either of the environments. In addition, Oracle offers another solution called Identity Cloud Service, which is a cloud-native application available as a SaaS platform. This is known as Oracle IDCS. When you want to deploy Identity Governance in a cloud, you have to go as Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). So, you cannot go with Software as a service (SaaS).

The initial set up of Oracle Identity Manager was difficult because of how delicate the product is to install.

The setup is complex compared to other OIM products such as 4G and Okta that are easy to implement in a customer environment by zipping the WAR file and deploying it.
The product has a number of components that require integration with each other before deployment such as OIM, OEM, OAM, and Web Logic that need to be downloaded and installed completely, making setup difficult and very complex.
Setup could be much easier so I rate it a six out of ten.

The initial setup for Oracle Identity Governance was a bit complex compared to other products, for example, SailPoint. Implementing version 12c of Oracle Identity Governance has improved a bit, though.
View full review »I consider the initial setup to be easy. If it's a matter of deploying two or three applications, the setup could take one or two months. For five or 10 applications, deployment could take at least six months. It all depends on the number of applications.
The initial setup for Oracle Identity Governance is not that straightforward. It takes time compared to setting up SailPoint.
View full review »As with any Oracle product, it's never straightforward. We knew what goals we needed to achieve but the challenge was having numerous design sessions to cover the possibilities, risks, and impacts in order to achieve those ambitious goals.

The initial setup is complex. It's not easy to deploy. They've tried to improve the onboarding process, however, they should continue to make it easier.
View full review »I came in a little after they had already started, but I was there for the initial go-live. These are large, complex products, so I wouldn't say they're easy, but we have people who know what they're doing, so it wasn't a problem.

The initial setup is complex. If, for example, you're implementing a connector, and using tools like SailPoint, Saviynt or NetIQ, it's simple. With Oracle, there are lots of places where you have to make changes and they need to be done throughout the process so there's a lot of dependency there. Deployment can take between two to three months if it's a simple implementation and doesn't require customization.
View full review »It is a complex product. There are not a lot of engineers with knowledge about it. That's the first problem. I think it's a general problem. We do have one consultant and one internal person just for the line support and installations. We know from experience from a consultant that worked with different customers that they all have the same problem.
We have one consultant working on this product and it's a full-time job here.

I was involved with the initial setup. It's not so straightforward. It's a very complicated space. It's a complicated tool to implement. There seemed to be a lot more customization and configuration that we needed to do; we initially believed we could just work out of the box.
View full review »The setup was complex due to too many customized provisioning workflows within our organization.
View full review »The initial setup was complex, as any enterprise identity management product would be. First, it's not clear what to download from Oracle e-delivery. Secondly, it's not one product but a complex, multiple-component system. We have to first install OID, and then find the right repository creation utility RCU. Apart from this, you need to install SOA first for OIM, and there are multiple patches for the database and infrastructure. Only after all prerequisites have been met is it possible to install.
People from a pure Oracle DBA background can't do this. You need to have all-arounders with knowledge of SSL and PKI infrastructure, plus a little bit of skill with Linux. They also need to have Oracle Database skills and not follow template thinking.
Also, due to the nature of the organization, my employer is paranoid about security, so it is done in a very secure configuration, including reverse proxies, traffic encryption (SSL), and High Availability setup with F5 Load Balancer. It was just really complex.

It was challenging to implement Identity Governance. The time needed for deployment depends on the size of the client. While it's possible to get it done in three days, deployment can take up to a week.

Luis Barrera
IT Security Manager at Claro
The initial setup was a bit complex primarily because you have to create a connector for every system enabling connections across the network. This is not an observation in regards to the platform itself.
The full deployment took about a year and we only require two people for maintenance.
We use Oracle Linux and WebLogic, and Identity Management, giving us a High Availability level that we're using with the Oracle Access Manager solution. Those 3 products in the stack -- the OS, the middleware, and then the Identity Management software to go into the middleware -- was such a complicated process to set up. I think Oracle should have provided some sort of flow chart or guide to get these products installed faster and configured in such a way that you are comfortable.

The initial setup is complex.
It's a multi-tenant system integrated into a customer's environment. The entire process is more difficult than it needs to be. They have made improvements but it is still complex.
The number of people required for the deployment and implementation varies based on the size of the implementation. The implementations go from very small up to both wide enterprise-wide and serving external customers.
We have had customers who required a couple of people up to an entire team supporting them.
It really does depend on the size of the implementation but it does take more than a couple to manage it. It is not just the Governance, it's the setup of the app and the integration with all of the other applications with the directory.
It requires a few people to keep it up and running.
View full review »Initial setup was very complex when compared to others. Oracle is way more complex than any other implementation. SalePoint and Microsoft Identity Manager are simpler.
View full review »It is complex as the entire implementation takes a lot of efforts from the business, in partucular technology and the main implementation teams.

View full review »It was complex, primarily due to dependencies on various underlying technologies like Java, WebLogic, SOA, Database, and BI for reporting etc. Version compatibility was critical and any mismatch could lead to partially functional implementation. Things got better with 11gR2 PS2.

I would say the initial setup was not very complex. The installation, design, development and deployment are all documented very well. Initially you will need to follow each and every step and later on you will understand why all those steps were necessary.

I was not working on the installation. I'm just working on the part of development of plug-ins and doing Java because I am one of the Java developers. The installation does not seem too bad. I know some guys who are working to build it and put Java in place on all the servers and on all the connectors.
