ManageEngine ADManager Plus vs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity Access Management (OCI IAM)

We mostly use this for user provisioning, it was easy to give HR access to the application while not opening up active directory. It's user interface simplifies the process. We are a school district with over 6,000 students, it's easy to create a CSV file and mass update all students simultaneously. I don't think this product would be useful for smaller organizations, you could simply run a powershell script to pull data from your domain controller

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

Incentivized

• Bulk user creating/de-provisioning user, all bulk operations
• Reporting on many items, group membership, password expiration, etc.
• Works well with active directory and Google integration.
• Easy to use interface.
• Mobile app.

Incentivized

• 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 standard version is useless for a larger company. Most have the Professional level to get the most out of the application but it is worth the cost.
• Needs better integration with Office 365 and Microsoft Teams.

Incentivized

• 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

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.

Support for this software is not the greatest. If the software is not completely down, it can take up to a day to get a response back. However, once they do contact you they are friendly and helpful.

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.

My company already owned ADManager when I started with them. If I remember correctly, it was chosen because it is a fairly cheap tool and because we also use Manage Engine's Service Desk Plus application. ADManager's main competitor (in my eyes) would be PowerShell, now that I have become more proficient with scripting it is rare that I use ADManager except to create users using one of the templates we created. The standardization you get with the templates is really great, it could also be done using an XML file and PowerShell, but why fix what isn't broken?

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.

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.

Incentivized

• Utilizes time better
• management of accounts
• Increase the speed of creating accounts, spending less time on those and focusing on other things.

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.
