    In our organisation we use Microsoft Entra External ID primarily to enable non-attenders to remotely login to our tenant and access pre-prepared educational resources. As well as access to tutors, pupils can also communicate with centralised staff who can support them to gain an education. Utilising our external tenant configuration we can develop and deploy our own in house apps to unpin this support intervention.

    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

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • One of the things that Microsoft Entra External ID does really well is creating user logins, accounts and profile. It is very easy to create them, manage them and delete them. It is fast and reliant.
    • Limit access or authorization feature. We can allow different levels of authorization and access. So that not all the employees would have access to all the data. Only some relaible employees would have access and power to change anything.
    • Mutli factor authentication feature is also a really good feature to secure data. Even overseas vendors need MFS to login which gives double protection to our data.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Troubleshooting diagnostic logs effectively requires VS Code
    • Group and role management requires additional effort
    • The programming model (XML) could use some developer experience love

    • 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.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    Microsoft Entra External ID is an all round solid product, and certainly delivers the solution to our needs well. Through use we found that Pupil's become 'experts in avoidance', if they can forget their login details or indeed their device used for MFA, they will and then use that as the excuse for not accessing/completing their assignments. If more MFA options were available (such as delegated MFA) this would really help iron out our entire end user experiences

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • Having monthly active users billing was cost-effective.
    • Helped with the IT support that was already managing the Azure platform of the company; this helped to manage the costs better and optimize them.

    • 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.
