Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations

Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Easy to use but requires improvements in the area of stability

In my company, we have worked on authorization, and I know that there are different types of grants. We have worked on the authorization code, client credentials, and ROPC grant. There are two types of tokens, like the JWT token and internally managed reference tokens. JWT tokens are useful for finding information related to the claim requests. Internally managed reference tokens are useful for dealing with visual data and information. For the clients to fit the user information, they need to do additional work to fit all the user info into the site, which is to define and validate the token issue and provide the request for VPNs. I worked on the key differences between the authorization code and implicit grant. In the authorization code type, you will have the authorization code issued initially to the client, and the client has to exchange it with the authorization server, like using a DAC channel to get the access token. In implicit grants, tokens are issued right away if the application is a single-page application. We can either use the authorization code or an implicit grant.

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."

"The product allows customization via custom code."

"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."

"The product was built to be scalable."

"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."

"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. 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 is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"It's pretty stable as a product."

"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."

"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."

"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."

"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."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."

"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."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."

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

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."

"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."

"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."

"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."

"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

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

"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."

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."

"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"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."

"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."

"The tool is affordable."

"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."

"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."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"The tool is quite affordable."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

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

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

"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."
