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 scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."

"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"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."

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

"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."

"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

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

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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 provides ease of connecting all our devices."

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

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"There are problems with stability."

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

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."

"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."

"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."

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

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

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

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

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

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The tool is affordable."

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

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

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

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

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

"The product is costly."

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