ForgeRock Benefits and Key Features
Reviews from Real Users
ForgeRock stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust identity and access tools and its being easy to manage and scale with one central dashboard.
PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A technology solutions leader at an outsourcing company writes, “We need it for multiple clients, multiple implementations. Not all of them are necessarily a multi-tenant solution. We need a very versatile solution that can do a lot of work, but from a single instance that we can centralize authentications and we don't duplicate the efforts and that's where ForgeRock seems to do better.”
Mohamed B., a cyber security consultant at a tech company, writes, "Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users. ForgeRock secured our system so that it is accessed only by authorized people, and it implemented the SSO."
ForgeRock was previously known as ForgeRock Identity Platform, ForgeRock OpenIDM .

Devops Engineer and Trainer at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees | 3.5 | In my company, we utilize ForgeRock for microservice authentications due to its valuable directory services and LDAP integration. Although customization is complex and ForgeOps lacks official support, we continue using ForgeRock after investments in MPIN and biometrics development with its APIs. |
Senior Associate at Cognizant | 4.5 | No summary available |
Integrator Solution at ITR | 4.5 | I use ForgeRock for application security, and all its features are beneficial. However, their support services aren't free in French, and communicating in English with their team is difficult, making it an area that needs improvement. |
Senior Technology Architect at Infosys | 4.5 | We use ForgeRock for access management on-premises via VMs. It's a comprehensive tool with extensive functionalities, including XML and IoT support. However, it's derived from open-source, making it occasionally unstable and not very user-friendly. |
Identity Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 2.5 | No summary available |
CEO at a non-profit with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | ForgeRock offers an easy installation process for OpenIDM and OpenAM, with valuable features like workflow simplicity. However, its documentation lacks detail, and support for SCIM connectors is inadequate. Although some tools like SailPoint excel in provisioning, ForgeRock's features are improving. |

Senior CyberSecurity Consultant at RNS | 4.0 | We use ForgeRock for implementing SSO MSA for various clients with large databases, appreciating its social login and data protection features. It enhances security and compliance but could benefit from easier deployment. Our IT workload has reduced. |
