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.

"The product supports customization."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I like PingFederate."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."

"The technical support is not very good at all."
"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."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."

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