Room For Improvement

Ping Identity Platform needs improvements in biometrics, integration, cloud capabilities, user interface, and documentation for better security and flexibility.
Incorporating AI to reduce manual work would be beneficial.
Senior Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Oracle Identity Governance is a thick, heavy application and has fewer application connectors compared to SailPoint, which offers a large number of out-of-box connectors, making integration easier.
Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The scope of the identity management or Oracle IDM is vast, and while we've implemented about 30, 40, or 50% of its capabilities, it's not done at full scale.

I would like to enable ServiceNow Generative AI for auto-diagnosing PingFederate SSO failures and suggest remediation steps.

Ping Identity Platform has multiple products for access management, identity management, a solution for API security, a solution for authorization, and a product for identity verification.

Setup Cost

Oracle Identity Governance is costly, influenced by licensing, support, implementation, with complex planning and lengthy setup increasing expenses.
Ping Identity Platform offers competitive, subscription-based pricing, ideal for large enterprises but less suitable for smaller companies.
They sell the solution cheaply, but setting up and maintaining it becomes very expensive.
Senior Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
If you want to implement it at full scale, it's not an entry-level product; it's an enterprise-class product and it is expensive.
General Manager Technical at Techaccess Pakistan
Oracle Identity Governance is very expensive.

Ziad Khawam - PeerSpot reviewer
Company Manager at cloudbreak
Identity workflows have delivered strong governance but remain complex to install and customize
I would describe the installation of Oracle Identity Governance on-premises as quite complex. Very complex. To install the product, it took us maybe three or four days to get it up and running just to go through the installation procedures. I repeated the same exercise in 2017 because I also migrated from 11c to 12c. That was the migration in 2017 that I managed. The migration took a long time. It took two to three years to be able to literally migrate all the code that I had. So it was quite complex. To summarize it quickly, I would describe the product as complete, very powerful, and very capable. However, it is extremely complex because Oracle relies on their own framework to customize and develop and fine-tune the functionalities. It is not Java, it is not some public framework. It is Java-based more or less, but it has their own Oracle framework for development and that makes the product quite complex to harness.
