IBM Cloud App ID vs. OCI Identity and Access Management

Whenever you need to provide Security Provider functionality for a web based application it is well suited. You can also integrate with other directory services (e.g. SAML, Facebook, Google), but not so easily with other Auth0 based services. The customization of the login page is very intuitive, but does not allow much customisation. using the integrated Cloud Directory, you do not need to integrate with existing security providers and you can build up your own user base - including Multi-Factor Authentication settings and password policies.

Scenarios where IDCS is well suited:

• Oracle Identity Cloud Service is well-suited for organizations that require a centralized approach to managing user access and authentication across multiple applications and services.

• Organizations with strict compliance requirements

Scenarios where IDCS might be less appropriate:

• Organizations with limited customization requirements

• Uses OIDC/OAuth, so the protocols for accessing user info and token management is familiar
• Clear pricing model
• API binds nicely with IBM Cloud Functions
• Billed as part of our IBM Cloud, along with our other services
• Front-end SDK for Vue, works well

• Restrict access to the applications outside our organization network.
• Multiple IDP configurations make it easy for us to authorize access.
• The adaptive security feature lets us know high-risk users.

• Pricing can be heavy on small organizations.
• User interface updates could be timely.
• Cloud services hangs at times, but very rarely.

• The web interface has gotten better over the years, but some functionality is still being handled via shell commands.
• SSL setup can be simplified into one place instead of having to navigate to multiple pages and update different key-stores or wallets.
• Migrating and or replicating between versions can be more intuitive with a side-by-side comparison of schema/attributes.

Oracle cloud services meets most of our needs. I hope in the future we could look at more of the OIG functions included so we could move away from needing to stand up that component.

We have contacted Oracle support a few times regarding admin access queries and every time we received prompt replies and help. In my experience, we only contacted 2 times in 3 years. I think it's because of ease of use and manageability. Also, Oracle Identity Cloud Service customer care team was pretty fast and helpful.

Both the software have different use cases, like IBM Cloud App ID, which will be more suitable for internal websites and apps or specific event website authentications, Auth0 can be suitable for consumer websites, e-commerce sites, where social media login is preferred more by the users. Both have their own capabilities so can be chosen according to their needs.

I believe we had a quite fair RFP listing all our complex integration and being key on utilizing existing investments, the Oracle product met our requirements and the local partner presented that very well. With such combined synergy, the offering was appealing to be the winning bid and therefore Oracle Identity Management was selected.

I hope at some point we could get away from needing to "bring our own" licenses and just have a unique user login rate.

Oracle provided various services we could take advantage of to get the environment configured correctly without needing to hire contractors.

• This has had a positive impact on security while developing our company's first major application.
• It has impacted our development process heavily by making authentication simpler than ever.
• It has helped reduce time in our development process by having easy integration and useful guides.

• I'm not sure we've seen actual ROI by implementing this product. We had many efforts to look at alternatives and to evaluate newer versions (OIG). In the end, we decided to replace it with Sailpoint.
