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

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"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."
"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."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"The product supports customization."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"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."
"I like PingFederate."
"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."
"PingFederate is a good product but there are limitations."
 

Cons

"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"There are problems with stability."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"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."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"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."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"They should promote more buyer's authentification, like a fingerprint or face recognition, something that's more convenient."
"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."
"We had issues with the stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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