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

"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and a very robust platform that can take a high number of authentication and authorization requests, and it is very flexible."
"It offers robust features and customization options that justify the cost."
"PingID is very good, it's pretty stable as a product and we've never faced any issues, at least with the data applications integration, and the customers really like it."
"Personally, I appreciate Identity Orchestration the most about Ping Identity Platform, as with a simple drag-and-drop interface and the correct options we can build a complex and personalized process very efficiently and effectively for registration, login, and profile management."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"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."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"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."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The tool is affordable."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The product is costly."
"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."
