Offers strong support and consistent updates improve security features
It is a heavyweight application. The product deployment and installation takes time, and the environment details are complex. ForgeRock is very quick to deploy on Tomcat, but Oracle Access Manager must be deployed on WebLogic, a heavyweight server. You cannot deploy Oracle Access Manager on Tomcat. If an organization has sufficient budget to spend on servers, then it is useful. For organizations that do not want to spend too much money on Oracle Access Manager, maintenance and upgrades take time, whereas with ForgeRock, that is the opposite as fewer resources are required. Being a heavyweight application, it will take more time for deployment and installation compared to ForgeRock or Okta. Okta is cloud-based, so it does not take much time. ForgeRock on-premise only needs deployment on a Tomcat server, making it less complex as it is a lightweight application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"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."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"I like PingFederate."
"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."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We use the product to run different reports."
 

Cons

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"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."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"The product is not customizable."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"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."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The product is costly."
