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.

Easy to use but requires improvements in the area of stability
In my company, we have worked on authorization, and I know that there are different types of grants. We have worked on the authorization code, client credentials, and ROPC grant. There are two types of tokens, like the JWT token and internally managed reference tokens. JWT tokens are useful for finding information related to the claim requests. Internally managed reference tokens are useful for dealing with visual data and information. For the clients to fit the user information, they need to do additional work to fit all the user info into the site, which is to define and validate the token issue and provide the request for VPNs. I worked on the key differences between the authorization code and implicit grant. In the authorization code type, you will have the authorization code issued initially to the client, and the client has to exchange it with the authorization server, like using a DAC channel to get the access token. In implicit grants, tokens are issued right away if the application is a single-page application. We can either use the authorization code or an implicit grant.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"The product supports customization."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
 

Cons

"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"There are problems with stability."
"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."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"The product is not customizable."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"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."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
