"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
 

Cons

"I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance."
"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization."
"Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution."
"Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"There are problems with stability."

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is average."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
