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 MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"With the Access Management Suite, you get identity federation, virtual directory and various other things so we can combine all of our backend Active Directory and other pieces into a directory that looks like one directory, including external users, vendors, and outside people with whom we have partnerships."
"Oracle Access Manager is a very efficient solution if you're working with Oracle applications like ELT, and so on."
"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."
"We have not had issues surrounding any failure or instability, and we use it with remote work to access our applications from anywhere, 24/7."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
 

Cons

"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"Oracle Access Manager is only suited for enterprise identity and access management but it should be able to all support customer identity and access management use cases as well."
"Now they have changed support locations and customer support is not as good."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"Technical Support: Bad, when we have problems Oracle Support doesn't fix it."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"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."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
 

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