A very good tool -- something which you can rely on. Worth every dime you invest in it.
What is most valuable?
Oracle Identity manager (OIM) is an application for identity administration and provisioning -- it's a solution which helps organizations to automate various tasks like adding, updating, disabling and or deleting user accounts from various applications from a single place. By implementing OIM in the infrastructure any organization can improve its compliance. With each step generating reports and optionally asking for authorization, there are very few places to look for a security hole.
OIM is built on Java architecture which provides a scalable, robust and secure platform, Hence I would already give it a plus one score. OIM when combined with other applications like Oracle Adaptive Access Management (OAAM), Oracle Virtual Director (OVD), Oracle Internet Directory (OID), etc gives the best results.
What needs improvement?
I could not come up with any cons from using this product.
What other advice do I have?
The second place where OIM scores well is the Out Of the Box connectors which come bundled with OIM. The concept of self service is tightly and rightly integrated with OIM. With granular functioning which could be customized to suit the organization's needs, OIM really stands out in User Account Creation, provisioning, SSO, Compliance support etc to name a few. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can build it and integrate it with OIM which makes it a good choice when choosing an Identity access management framework for your organization.

Out-of-the-box connectors help to reduce the amount of development needed.
Valuable Features
Automated Provisioning to applications is one of the features that is really helpful. Also, there are a lot of out-of-the-box connectors available from Oracle that help to reduce the amount of development needed.
Improvements to My Organization
Automated Provisioning to applications has removed the effort required to manually create accounts in applications, which increases our productivity.
Room for Improvement
UI customization is still a challenge as it requires a lot of effort to develop.
Use of Solution
I've been using this product for the last four-and-a-half years, and have kept it up to date to get all the new features.
Deployment Issues
Issues at deployment depend on the load of the system. Our system is a bit heavy and requires good hardware.
Stability Issues
Whether there are stability issues depends on the load of the system. Our system is a bit heavy and requires good hardware.
Scalability Issues
The scalability depends on the load of the system. Our system is a bit heavy and requires good hardware.
Customer Service and Technical Support
In our experience, the level of technical support has been good.
Initial Setup
The initial setup was a bit complex if you compare it to other IDM tools. Installation and setup take a long time as it's not just a one-click installation.
Implementation Team
We implemented it with our in-house team. My best advice is to always follow the certification matrix before proceeding with installation.
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: We're an Oracle Platinum Partner.
