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 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 supports customization."
"I think that this product was really designed with scalability in mind, and we currently have about 1.6 million users and I am not aware of a limitation."
"If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The tool is affordable."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"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 product is a little expensive."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"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 offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"The product is costly."
