NetIQ Identity Manager vs. Oracle Identity Cloud Service

• An organization who needs a way of managing their entire user lifecycle.
• If an organization needed a solid Identity Management (IDM) solution that could do Single Sign-On (SS) and provisioning for services both internally and in the cloud.

The advantage of Oracle IDCS comes in when we have other Oracle PAAS platforms and our other custom applications which we need to provide single sign-on functionality for. The custom API's provided by Oracle IDCS comes in very handy to achieve the single sign-on functionality with our custom applications.

• Easy to use workflow for creating users.
• The self-service portal for resetting passwords etc., is easy to deploy.
• Has strong user activity monitoring.

• Identity Management
• Authentication
• Authorization

• The interface is a bit outdated.
• It would be nice to be able to customize the self-service portal more.
• It would be great if it integrated with more products.

• Branding is the one that I feel could be improved and be provided with more options.
• Groups and user creation and adding users to groups could become more streamlined.
• More reporting features should be provided to download the diagnostic reports instead of using REST APIs.

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.

• ROI
• Self-Service
• Easy Install

• 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.
