Senior Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
The scope of the identity management or Oracle IDM is vast, and while we've implemented about 30, 40, or 50% of its capabilities, it's not done at full scale.

Setup Cost

Oracle Identity Governance is costly with complex licensing, long implementation, and significant support expenses, ideal for large enterprises.
Ping Identity Platform offers competitive, subscription-based pricing, ideal for large enterprises but less suitable for smaller companies.
If you want to implement it at full scale, it's not an entry-level product; it's an enterprise-class product and it is expensive.
General Manager Technical at Techaccess Pakistan
They sell the solution cheaply, but setting up and maintaining it becomes very expensive.
Senior Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
For a large-scale enterprise, it's beneficial because it covers many functionalities such as self-service, automated access provisioning, de-provisioning, and reporting.

General Manager Technical at Techaccess Pakistan
Comprehensive features and strong support enhance operations
Direct comparison of OIG/OIM/OAM would require several factors to count in. Other than being excellent product, it would be more convenient to have more 3rd party integrations/connectors available for main stream applications (or even databases) that require less development with frequent certifications/version updates (though this cannot be avoided altogether). Single Interface/same screen would be handy. We have not use the product for analytics for anomaly detection, as we had a blend of different products, and identity management wasn't used particularly for this purpose. Oracle suite provides comprehensive Governance The scope of the identity management or Oracle IDM/IAM/OID/OIG is vast, and while we've implemented/evaluated 30-50% of its features, it's not done at full scale to include full-fledged governance/compliance.
