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

"Oracle Access Manager is a very efficient solution if you're working with Oracle applications like ELT, and so on."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"The product supports customization."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"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."
"Ping Identity Platform demonstrates strong stability, as it is not prone to bugs, with the development team consistently fixing issues, making it highly recommended by many clients."
"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."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"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."
 

Cons

"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"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 mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"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."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."
"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."
"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 tool is affordable."
"The product is a little 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."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
