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

"With the Access Management Suite, you get identity federation, virtual directory and various other things so we can combine all of our backend Active Directory and other pieces into a directory that looks like one directory, including external users, vendors, and outside people with whom we have partnerships."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."

"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."

"If someone is looking for a solution that works both for on-prem or hybrid, I strongly recommend opting for the cloud."

"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."

"We use the product to run different reports."

"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."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

"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."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."

"There are problems with stability."

"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."

"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."

"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."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

"The product is not customizable."

"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."

"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."

"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."

"The tool is affordable."

"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."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"The product is costly."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The tool is quite affordable."
