Oracle Identity Cloud Service review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With DJSIR Oracle Identity Cloud Service, we have centralized user management, automated user provisioning, and de-provisioning, and enforced strong authentication and access controls to OACS, APEX, and ERP applications. Oracle Identity Cloud Service helps us to comply with regulatory requirements around user identity management, access control, and data protection. And the scope of our use is employee, customer, partner, and vendor identity and access management, as well as compliance and regulatory requirements.

Pros

  • DJSIR Employee identity and access management to oracle applications
  • Comply with DJSIR's regulatory requirements around user identity management, access control, and data protection
  • MFA options for Oracle application logins

Cons

  • DJSIR Oracle Identity Cloud Service is federated with DJSIR SSO. When an employee leaves the company an office account will get deleted but it's not reflecting in Oracle Identity Cloud Service or the profile is not getting deleted from Oracle Identity Cloud Service console.
  • Oauth setup for the application is a bit confusing
  • Increase the number of reports available

Return on Investment

  • Oracle Identity Cloud Service help us to reduce the risk of data breaches, improve access controls, and provide audit trails and reporting, which also reduced compliance costs
  • Complex APEX environments like oauth for APEX may require additional resources and expertise to implement the solution
  • MFA rates are bit higher

Oracle Identity Cloud Service has proven to be an invaluable asset for DP World, helping us address critical business problems while enhancing our security and efficiency. By embracing IDCS, we have successfully positioned our organisation to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape and ensure the continued success of our global enterprise. IDCS quickly became a best-in-class solution for DP World, increasing their efficiency, safety, and agility.

  • Oracle IDCS offers a robust MFA solution that helps organizations secure their applications and data against unauthorized access
  • Oracle IDCS makes it easy to manage user identities throughout their lifecycle
  • Oracle IDCS provides comprehensive access management and governance capabilities to help organizations enforce security policies and compliance requirements

Cons

  • As the end customer, we want Oracle IDCS to have better reporting and analytics tools built in.
  • Another area where Oracle Identity Cloud Service could improve is in its support for external identity providers.
  • Enhanced customisation options and out of the box integrations

Return on Investment

  • One positive impact of IDCS is that it can help businesses improve their overall security posture
  • Another positive impact of IDCS is that it can help businesses reduce their overall IT costs
  • One potential negative impact is that it can be complex and challenging to implement and manage

Turning the possible to an achievement

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle Identity Management as a single sign-on for almost all applications. Internal systems are connected through Oracle Identity Management to provide a single sign-on experience to our internal customers, that includes, but is not limited to, our GRP system, HR, and Talent Management. It's also been extended to an external system for printing certificates for contractors in Dubai. That system is more critical than all other internal systems due to its use by business and external users.

Pros

  • Simple installation
  • Good user experience
  • Stable performance

Cons

  • Auto switch to DR (Very key and not yet been experienced or implemented well)
  • Ability to connect with other legacy systems
  • Mobile friendly

  • Single repository of a historical list of users
  • User experience on memorizing a single password to access all systems
