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 most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"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."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
 

Cons

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"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."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."
"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"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 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 tool is affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"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."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
