IBM Security Verify vs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity Access Management (OCI IAM)

Verify protects our on-premises resources and some of our cloud-based ones, too. We've used SSO with several apps without issues. MFA was the main driver for us, and Verify was found to be a good fit for our needs, enabling our end users to access resources securely. This facility helped us build cyber assurance with our stakeholders.

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

• IBM Security Verify provides comprehensive identity and access management (IAM) capabilities.
• IBM Security Verify provides multi-factor authentication (MFA) capabilities.
• IBM Security Verify provides robust identity and access governance capabilities.
• IBM Security Verify provides comprehensive auditing capabilities.
• IBM Security Verify provides a comprehensive platform for managing and protecting privileged accounts.

• 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.

• The mobile app can be a bit buggy at times if it gets fixed it would be great.
• UI seems a bit old compared to modern tools out there.
• There is a bit of a learning curve; if the developers can make it more intuitive it would be awesome.

• DJSIR Oracle Identity Cloud Service is federated with DJSIR SSO. When an employee leaves the company an office account will get deleted but it's not reflecting in Oracle Identity Cloud Service or the profile is not getting deleted from Oracle Identity Cloud Service console.
• Oauth setup for the application is a bit confusing
• Increase the number of reports available

It works flawlessly, i have never faced any major issues with this. It has all the features such as Iam and security management. I think its a good investment and the benefits we reap from this software are worth the price.

While setup and implementation takes work and time, the flexibility and possibilities make up for that in the long run. This is not a product you can just install and run, but if you design and implement your ruleset well, it will save you a lot of work afterwards. Just make sure that the systems you want to use it for have an existing and proven connector.

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.

It is almost always available. they do updates at night, minimizing the effect of upgrades. It is always around, it is just old and maybe needs to start from scratch to get a better product for nowadays. It is almost always available during business hours when you need it. for 24/7 companies it may be more difficult to time the upgrades so that it does not affect your work.

The support team has always been the primary consultation base when we are faced by performance problems. From the deployment stage the team has managed to monitor the operation lifecycle and give best insights based on their observation. It works 24/7 to enhance productive service delivery to clients. The IBM Security Verify Support team has been the main player in the successful performance of this software.

The support for Oracle Identity Cloud Service is generally good. Nevertheless, it can take some time to get a response from the support team which creates initial frustration, and the customer will have to wait till the SR gets assigned to a support person.

We evaluated Oracle Identity Manager and were ready to move ahead with the purchase plan, but then found that IBM addressed the needs of our company in a more robust fashion. The price was significantly higher, yet in the grand scheme of things, the safety of both our data and the data of our clients was the most important criteria.

Oracle's Identity Cloud Service works more in conjunction with the aforementioned. I think it works similar to Oracle Identity Management (OID) but seems a little more abstracted.

The licensing terms were favourable due to their flexibility based on the size and purpose of implementation. The billing frequency is done on quarterly basis. The vendor team has enacted best user policies that gives the company the full control of this platform. It is cost-effective as compared to most security verification tools in the market.

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

In the case of adjustments, we were often able to carry them out completely on our own and only used professional services for new requirements. Particularly in the case of access management, it is very positive that we usually needed IBM for a task in less than an hour and then developed the solution further on our own.

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

Incentivized

• Very much secured to the business as it provides granular level of configuration as far as authentication and authorization is concerned.
• Works as a reverse Proxy so totally hides the backend application from anonymous access
• It needs professional to install and manage it. It takes time to implement right set of policies but once setup as per requirement it will do its job

Incentivized

• It streamlined our Oracle PAAS implementation where we were able to achieve single sign-on functionality seamlessly.
• It provided us the feature to restrict outside access.
• It provided us with features to perform social IDP configuration for our custom applications.
