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

"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."
"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."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"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."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good, and the company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"PingID is very good, it's pretty stable as a product and we've never faced any issues, at least with the data applications integration, and the customers really like it."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"The main reason why we use this product is to make sure that we can use our corporate account to log on to applications in the cloud, and from that perspective, it helps us in our account life-cycle management because if somebody is leaving the company, that account will be automatically deleted, which saves time."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"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 pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"There are problems with stability."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"We had issues with the stability."
"They should promote more buyer's authentification, like a fingerprint or face recognition, something that's more convenient."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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 platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The product is costly."
