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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good, and the company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"I think that this product was really designed with scalability in mind, and we currently have about 1.6 million users and I am not aware of a limitation."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The stability of the solution is good, we have never had any issues and neither have any of our clients."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."
"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."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
 

Cons

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"There are problems with stability."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"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."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"They should promote more buyer's authentification, like a fingerprint or face recognition, something that's more convenient."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"I have contacted the technical support team at PingFederate. I would rate their help as two out of ten."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The tool is affordable."
"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 platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"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."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The product is costly."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
