Oracle Identity Management

What do you like best?

1. Enterprise-grade IAM solution with on-premise and cloud offerings as IDCS and it is well suited for large scale implementations.

2. Capability to handle large volume traffic especially with high concurrency

3. Concept of Human workflows involves development using Oracle SOA which is again an Oracle FMW product so good performance is achieved in the integration with OAM/OIM.

4. User provisioning & reconciliation is pretty much smooth.

5. Customization support to an existing process is through Web Service connectors that make it much easier to integrate with external systems

6. Being an Oracle FMW product, it has the well-versed capability to get integrated with any other Oracle FMW product viz. Oracle WebCenter Portal, content/capture, Oracle BPM, Oracle SOA, Oracle MFT etc.

What do you dislike?

1. Being a proprietary solution, a lot of technical dependencies on custom business requirement implementation.

2. Need to pay a good subscription for MOS (my oracle support) for raising technical service requests

3. Any developer interested to learn Oracle IDAM must procure heavy configuration hardware to do practical hands-on.

4. Certain changes might not get implemented due to any bug and hence patching required or need to wait for next available patch

5. Due to outage, it takes time to get back all the components UP and available.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
