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

"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"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."
"It offers robust features and customization options that justify the cost."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
 

Cons

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"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 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."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"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."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
 

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."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The tool is affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"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."
"The product is costly."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
