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.

Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and a very robust platform that can take a high number of authentication and authorization requests, and it is very flexible."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"The product was built to be scalable."

"PingFederate is a good product but there are limitations."

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."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"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."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"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."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
