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.

"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"The product supports customization."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"I like PingFederate."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"There are problems with stability."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"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."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"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."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"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."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"The product is costly."
"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."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
