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

"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"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."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"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."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good, and the company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"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's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"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."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"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."
"If someone is looking for a solution that works both for on-prem or hybrid, I strongly recommend opting for the cloud."
"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."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
 

Cons

"The technical support is not very good at all."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"There are problems with stability."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"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."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"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."
"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"The product is not customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"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 tool is affordable."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
