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."

"I was able to use the new SAML Service Provider capability to consume a federated token and exchange it for an OAM token for subsequent session requests across multiple applications."

"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."

"The product was built to be scalable."

"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."

"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

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

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"This is a user-friendly solution."

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

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

"It is a very stable solution."

"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."

"The main reason why we use this product is to make sure that we can use our corporate account to log on to applications in the cloud, and from that perspective, it helps us in our account life-cycle management because if somebody is leaving the company, that account will be automatically deleted, which saves time."

"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."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"Oracle Access Manager is only suited for enterprise identity and access management but it should be able to all support customer identity and access management use cases as well."

"The technical support is not very good at all."

"I would expect a product with a reputation like Oracle to be very stable and it is not in my opinion."

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

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

"Now they have changed support locations and customer support is not as good."

"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."

"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"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."

"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."

"We had issues with the stability."

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

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."

"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."

"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."

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 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 tool is affordable."

"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 pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"The tool is quite affordable."

"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."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

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

"The product is costly."

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