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

"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."

"I was able to use the new SAML Service Provider capability to consume a federated token and exchange it for an OAM token for subsequent session requests across multiple applications."

"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."

"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."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"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 MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"The product was built to be scalable."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."

"We use the product to run different reports."

"It offers robust features and customization options that justify the cost."

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"Ping Identity Platform can provide a solution for both workforce identity and access management and also for consumer identity and access management, which is CIAM."

"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."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

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

"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."

"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."

"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."

"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."

"Customer Service: Poor. The EBS Access Gate support was delivered as a patch and support was not able to solve various problems, which I believe to be attributes to more current versions of OAM and WebLogic not being backwards compatible with the documented solution."

"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

"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."

"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."

"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"The tool is affordable."

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The product is costly."

"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."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

"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."
