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 MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"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."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"The product supports customization."
"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."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"I like PingFederate."
"Ping Identity Platform can provide a solution for both workforce identity and access management and also for consumer identity and access management, which is CIAM."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
 

Cons

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"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."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"There are problems with stability."
"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."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"We had issues with the stability."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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