Oracle Access Management vs. Oracle Identity Governance

OAM is designed to be scalable, and it can handle large-scale deployments with thousands of users and applications. It provides a centralized framework for managing access to web applications and resources, enabling organizations to define and enforce security policies across their entire IT environment. OAM offers a range of authentication and authorization mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication and OAuth-based authentication, making it suitable for organizations that need to meet different security and compliance requirements.

Well suited for: 1. Large and medium organisations who have the capacity to invest in IAM roadmap for long term. 2. Organisations with and existing oracle and partner applications ecosystem. 3. Scenario where the user base is on the higher side and organisations looking to scale up in near future. 4. Organisation with complex workflow need in identity management process. Not well suited for 1. Small organisations or even medium ones which have a lesser number of applications 2. Scenarios where custom connectors need to be developed but at the same time turnaround should be quick. 3. Scenarios when features you are looking for are missing, getting them added could take a lot of effort. 4. UI is not very user-friendly and needs to be customised. 5. Takes time to stablise post going live

• Oracle Access Management allows superior session management capabilities. It can maintain and terminate session states using access engine and endpoint cookies or security tokens.
• It allows for automated single sign-on as well as protocol translation.
• The suite allows for real-time fraud detection and prevention capabilities. This is especially useful where our applications are accessed by tens of thousands of users simultaneously.

• It has a very well-defined and scalable framework (LDAP directory).
• It scales particularly well, going from a basic platform to a complex one using customisation and extensions.
• It integrates well with other components like SSO and Access Manager to provide comprehensive a one stop identity management solution.

• The product could be improved by simplifying changing the master password. That is, if you change a password in one place, it would be good to automate changing the password for all the gateways so that change is less complicated.
• It should be more Customizable for Customer Specific needs.
• Oracle Access Management connects well with Oracle Database but doesn't work smoothly with Microsoft AD.

• The cost could be lower.
• Support.
• Identity.

Overall good product and somewhat reliable when used in a specific manner. However, there are cons like unending bugs and no well-defined upgrade path. The product could have been more flexible and lite in terms of organisational infra needs. OIM is a robust product but other vendors are almost on-par now.

Both are great products. From a technical point of view Oracle Access Management implementation is relatively simple due to the possibility to adjust the functionality and appearance of the system to the customer's needs. SAP is a robust product but not user friendly and more expensive. Overall cost and product functionality was what drove us to implement Oracle Access Management.

• It help us to reduce password fatigue & exposure related to numerous applications within the organization thus enhancing the users performance
• The single point of failure always keeps us in tension which make us little nervous about this Oracle SSO.
• The cost of this product licenses adds to one of the dislikes.

• It has a great impact from moving us from paper based to full EHR Compliance
• It's easy to check and see how users get and lose access to the systems that are administered through OIM
• It's also helping in tying down Policies and procedures within the Orgainization
