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.

Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"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 stability of the solution is good, we have never had any issues and neither have any of our clients."
"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 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."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"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."
"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."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
 

Cons

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"There are problems with stability."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"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 tool is affordable."

"The product is a little expensive."

"The product is costly."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
