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

"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."

"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."

"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."

"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."

"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."

"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."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"If someone is looking for a solution that works both for on-prem or hybrid, I strongly recommend opting for the cloud."

"It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"It is a scalable solution."

"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."

"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."

"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"Customer Service: Poor. The EBS Access Gate support was delivered as a patch and support was not able to solve various problems, which I believe to be attributes to more current versions of OAM and WebLogic not being backwards compatible with the documented solution."

"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."

"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."

"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."

"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."

"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."

"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."

"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."

"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."

"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."

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

"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."

"Many times when we are authenticating, we'd like the freedom to set the time; maybe it needs to be slightly longer, and before we can authenticate it, it ends up in an error and then we have to create everything all over again in terms of launching the application."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The tool is affordable."

"Can be expensive as a solution."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"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."

"The product is costly."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
