Enhanced security and simplicity in deployment for a holistic protection

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its simplicity in deployment. You only need to purchase and assign licenses to users, and there's no need for extensive setup. Another valuable feature is its integration with Google Workspace, which enhances security through context-aware access and allows for geographic and IP-specific restrictions. This ensures secure access to applications and data.

Offers single sign-on capabilities to users

Suppose you are totally dependent and have requirements where you have a cloud application or several applications for integration with the cloud. In that case, I will suggest the use of Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Oracle Identity Cloud Service has much scope for customization. If you have a high customization level, then I would suggest IAM. The tool's multifactor authentication capabilities are easy to implement. If a client has a banking system, they need a strong authentication service, and only a password is not required; the user has to authenticate via fingerprint, face recognition, or go for or any RSA token. Double authentication is required where the banking department has access to very critical applications, or else they cannot go ahead and give the password. It is very difficult to hack once you have MFA in place. You have to either give the print fingerprint or any RSA token, making it not so easy to hack the system. We suggest MFA to clients who have the most critical application with them. I recommend the tool for every client we have, but it depends on how they want to have it because some customers don't want to go for the cloud application, and they might be thinking about changing the cloud vendors. Suppose a company has some costs in mind, and if they have a large number of employees, like 50,000 or 1,00,000 users, then it will be costlier for them than having an on-prem tool, like IAM. If a customer has 5,000, 10,000, or 20,00 employees, Oracle Identity Cloud Service can be a cheaper tool than the IAM product. I will suggest Oracle Identity Cloud Service only for smaller organizations. The tool does not have any AI capabilities. I would recommend the tool to everyone. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."

"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."

"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."

"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"I have not experienced any serious problem with stability."

"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."

"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."

More Google Cloud Identity pros

"The most valuable feature is identity management."

"The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client."

"Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization."

"Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations. Since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its single sign-on capabilities."

"The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs."

"The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

"Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable."

Cons

"The solution's storage capacity could be increased."

"The management of external users needs to be introduced in the tool as it is an area of concern in the tool presently."

"We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR."

"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."

"Overall, I would give a zero out of 10 for Google's support. There is no easy way to navigate issues without paid consultation, making it quite frustrating."

"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."

"There is room for improvement in the configuration of their security policies. It seems quite basic."

"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."

More Google Cloud Identity cons

"Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too."

"We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."

"The protocol could be easier to use."

"The cost of this solution should be reduced."

"Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."

"The tool doesn't have many out-of-the-box connectors for the target integration."

"The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration."

"The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."

"The pricing is a bit expensive."

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."

"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

More Google Cloud Identity pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."

"The tool's implementation costs totally depend on the number of users. The cost depends on how many users are going to use it, so a per-user cost model is needed for the tool."

"The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."
