Vinod Survase - PeerSpot reviewer
Saves us time and money and features Conditional Access policies, SSPR, and MFA
I want better integration between Azure AD and the on-prem environment because there are currently limitations that can hamper employee experience. We use a feature called password writeback, that can be challenging to implement in a hybrid environment. Employees can change their passwords using a self-service password reset (SSPR) feature, which reflects from the cloud to the on-prem identity, but not the other way around. Currently, there is no way to reflect passwords from on-prem identities to the cloud. There are other similar limitations, such as a cap on the number of identities that can be synchronized in a particular time frame, which can be an issue for large enterprises with 300,000 employees or more.
KunwarNitesh - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides innovative new services that complement traditional access management capabilities
The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications. I also have experience with its audit trail capability, which I find valuable. Oracle Access Manager audits all events in the system, including authentication, authorization, password resets, and user behavior. The benefits it provides to clients include enhanced security for users and applications, improved user experience through single sign-on, and scalability. As for integration, Oracle Access Manager has good integration capabilities. It supports agent-based authentication and standard protocols like OAuth, OpenID, and FEM. The integration complexity ranges from simple to medium, depending on the application.
