Overall Satisfaction with IdentityIQ

We use it for: access provisioning, self service password reset, and database password synchronization.
  • Very customizable interface
  • Ability to connect to many enterprise databases and systems like AD
  • One integrated product built from the ground up with the entire identity lifecycle in mind.
  • Beanshell is used to program it - this is an old variant of Java pre-generics. This language essentially died in 2005 and there is no reason a product like this should be using it.
  • There is no built-in way to version control the scripts that are used. We had to develop our own system to properly follow the SDLC.
  • We were able to save a lot of money by using IdentityIQ instead of paying for more multiple Oracle Identity products in the same space.
  • We were also able to use IdentityIQ to retire our Control-SA product which was end-of-life'd by the vendor.
  • The self-service capabilities of the product saved a lot of calls to the helpdesk.
Support was better with IdentityIQ than with Oracle. Also, it was cheaper and did more.
It definitely is better than the Oracle suite of products in that there is one unified product which handles what you'd need multiple Oracle products for. That said, it is not very exciting or cutting-edge to work with.
