Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 6, 2024

Oracle Identity Governance and Saviynt compete in the identity management solutions sector, with each delivering unique strengths. Based on the comparisons, Saviynt appears to have an advantage due to its flexibility and efficient integration capabilities.

Features: Oracle Identity Governance offers comprehensive identity lifecycle management, integration with Oracle's product suite, and a robust auditing system to manage user activities and access privileges. Its advanced resource management allows for detailed searching, viewing, and modifying of resources. Saviynt excels in providing streamlined identity governance, offering user-friendly setups with extensive connector support that enhances its integration with multiple systems and platforms. Its access governance features are highly efficient and flexible, making it adaptable to a wide range of environments.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Identity Governance needs enhancement in system complexity and user experience; users often face a steep learning curve and complex support requirements. Saviynt requires improvements in customization capabilities and stability, especially under high-demand processes. It also faces challenges in enhancing customer support responsiveness and expanding functionality depth.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Identity Governance is designed for on-premises deployment, catering to enterprises with existing infrastructures, while Saviynt offers flexible deployment options, including public, private, and hybrid clouds, appealing to cloud-focused businesses.

It competes well with other SaaS solutions in pricing, providing flexible licensing that aligns with diverse organizational needs, offering a balance between cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

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.

Has reduced manual work and shortened project timelines through faster deployment and intuitive workflows

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features I find most effective in Oracle Identity Governance include size and scale management, which is good for large organizations."

"Identifying connector framework for unifying provisioning capabilities from OIM."

"What I found most useful in Oracle Identity Governance, feature-wise, are provisioning, de-provisioning, and termination. Those features are very good. Oracle Identity Governance can also be easily integrated with non-Oracle products, which I find valuable."

"The solution's capabilities in provisioning, de-provisioning, terminations, and transfers are excellent."

"I can say that RBAC, or role-based access control is the most reliable feature."

"Role-based access control (RBAC) has been crucial for role-based management in my current company. Granular access restrictions based on role-based policies were beneficial."

"It's a stable and scalable solution."

"What I like most about Oracle Identity Governance is that it is a very flexible tool. It allows you to do any customization on Java as it is built on Java and you can write any customization code using Java. I also like that Oracle Identity Governance is pretty much stable. In my company, there are a lot of users, so my company prefers this solution."

More Oracle Identity Governance pros

"Saviynt has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time for a project where we previously used a spreadsheet for manual work to keep the data, and helped reduce that time from around two weeks to two to three days or even less."

"Based on my experience working with Saviynt, they deserve a rating of nine because they are very responsive to support."

"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."

More Saviynt pros

Cons

"The development and the administration side could be a lot more intuitive and easier to use than it currently is, in terms of functionality and what it tries to achieve as a Single Sign-On entity for an enterprise environment."

"The cost of this product needs to be reduced."

"The solution needs to improve its web interface in the next release."

"It's a complex solution, so it will take time in terms of deployment."

"This product currently uses a complex and old implementation. They need a single, user-friendly console for easy configuration. The Active Directory Services (ADS) integration needs improvement. They should offer non-Java coding options and simplify mapping."

"t is too complex, has too many bugs, and is an immature product, even the best case, beta version."

"I would like to see automation in the solution. We need also integration with the Identity Manager. The solution needs to improve in the application integrations part. It also needs to focus on application deployment as well."

"An area for improvement in Oracle Identity Governance is that it isn't refreshed or updated as much. The only area that changed on it in the last five years was the GUI. The solution still has the same installation, troubleshooting, and configuration. Oracle Identity Governance is still very complicated when compared to other solutions. It seems that Oracle doesn't focus too much on Oracle Identity Governance in terms of making some improvements to it."

More Oracle Identity Governance cons

"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."

"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."

"The tool is difficult to migrate."

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."

"One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information."

"While one product performed excellently, another was quite complex with code dating back 15 years."

"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."

"The technical support team's response time could be improved."

More Saviynt cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle licenses are expensive. I suggest making pricing and licensing decisions that align with architectural requirements and the project's budget."

"The price of the implementation of Oracle Identity Governance is more of a concern than the cost of the solution. The effort that you have to do to put the solution in place is higher than the license cost."

"Oracle Identity Governance is expensive."

"The licensing is expensive."

"The licensing cost for Oracle Identity Governance is very high, so I'd rate it two out of five."

"The price is based on the number of users per year."

"Oracle Identity Governance is an expensive solution."

"The cost of support and upgrading to the next release are both expensive."

More Oracle Identity Governance pricing and cost advice

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."

Overview

Oracle Identity Governance (OIG) is a very versatile and robust enterprise identity management solution that offers functional and business performance competence by supplying centralized administration and total automation of identity and client provisioning events throughout the organization and user applications. Oracle Identity Governance monitors the complete identity and role process to satisfy rapidly changing business and complex compliance regulations and quickly delivers critical reporting and compliance capabilities.

Oracle Identity Governance is designed to easily identify which users have approved access to specific applications and other resources. It does this by using processes such as segregation of duties (SOD), role-based access control (RBAC), certifications, and access requests.

Oracle Identity Governance Features

Self-service wizard: Oracle Identity Governance has worked to make the onboarding of applications significantly easier. It no longer takes numerous steps and technical expertise. The self-service wizard makes the process simple and user-friendly.
Self-service APIs: This gives Oracle Identity Governance users an improved user experience (UX). The REST APIs for user self-service can be used for both web and mobile users. Oracle Identity Governance users are easily able to view user accounts and roles, in addition to being able to complete self-service tasks such as forgotten passwords, registration, and more.
Certification: Oracle Identity Governance offers many certification options, such as a custom access reviewer, group reviewing support, and designate certifications by completed percentage. OIG can also focus on specific role access and anomalies for access beyond a user-defined role (UDF).
Integration connectors: Oracle Identity Governance has many integration connector options for both cloud and on-premises deployments. Popular categories include Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and traditional and hybrid systems such as Fusion Applications (FA). OIG also integrates well with connectors to Database Application Tables (DBAT), scripting tools, and web services. OIG offers several integration connectors with many of today’s top SaaS applications, such as Dropbox, Google Apps, Office 365, ServiceNow, and WebEx.

Reviews from Real Users

“The one thing that stands out was the automatic sign-out when an employee goes on vacation. Identity Governance can monitor when an employee goes on vacation and returns. We use this feature to automatically disable all the employee's accounts when they go on vacation, and they're automatically enabled when they come back. We can also automatically delete the employee's accounts when they're dismissed. Oracle has a model that gives you precise reports. It's called Crystal, and it's similar to JasperReports, so we can derive reports from this database. “ - Fabio L., Partner at a tech services company.

“We are using Oracle Identity Manager for the management of the identity cycle. We have a human resources system as a source, and we have some custom-made applications as a destination of the changes in the identities. - A PeerSpot user who is a Project Manager at a government “
