Forefront Identity Manager




What’s more, FIM when

integrated with Azure,

can also handle IDM for

third party applications

such as Salesforce.com or

custom cloud applications




So what are FIM's key benefits?




1. It is intuitive to learn in

MS environments




2. It is easy to integrate and

synchronize cloud and

SaaS applications via Azure




3. Improves security

through supporting

both on-premises and

cloud applications




4. FIM has a broadly supported

workflow engine




5. FIM supports dynamic

groups and team based

workflows




However, there are some

weaknesses:




1. FIM does not support role

based access control or

external role based

access control for

custom applications




2. FIM cannot support flow

chart workflows or publish

workflows as web services




3. FIM also doesn't support

report designer or have

many pre-built reports




4. FIM also doesn't support

a 'High Availability'

architecture for

automatic failover




Oracle Identity Manager




OIM differs from FIM

because it uses a role-based

authorization rather than

the MS AD object model




1. OIM has a scalable

multi-instance

synchronization engine




2. Supports High Availability

and automatic failover




3. Centralized authorization

for entitlement aware

applications




4. Supports non-sequential

workflows




5. Can publish workflows

as web services




6. Has a report creator/editor




Bottom Line




FIM may be easier to use but

lacks features and functionality




How do you compare

FIM with OIM, which one suits

your business, and why?
