Easy to use, but customizations can be complicated to handle
I would suggest others use the product after asking them to consider their use cases. SSO may be a use case for some, and using the product as an IDM tool may be a use case. At the moment, my company is not deploying all the components of ForgeRock itself. My company uses ForgeRock for OAuth 2.0. For example, my company is not deploying the IDM and identity gateway components. You should consider your use case and select the required components for that use case. My company does not use the SSO features of the tool. My company uses SSO to access ForgeRock's AM Console for individual users. My company does not use single sign on features of the product and instead, we use Auth0. I rate the tool a seven or eight out of ten.

A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."
"We used it to implement multi-factor authentication and to improve our security posture as well as reducing the potential for attacks."
"It works very well, especially in Identity and Access Management. It helps detect anomalies in user behavior patterns."
"ForgeRock products are customizable, and the out-of-the-box features are solid, too. I primarily use the OIDC compliance features. It's just a configuration. it's easy to set up and customize trees. We can add our own features if necessary. Banks and corporations have different standards and specific validations."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"ForgeRock is an extensive product with many functionalities and capabilities, much more than many other tools combined."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
 

Cons

"I don't think ForgeRock directly supports integrations with Slack, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In future releases, I would like to see easier integration with other solutions, like facial recognition and KYC solutions with biometric onboarding."
"I find that it's quite expensive for just an open-source system. Support is quite expensive."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement. It is user-friendly, but there is always scope for improvement."
"Automatic Deployment needs improvement. it could be made easier."
"The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing."
"We would like this solution to be developed for use with mobile applications."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."
"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
"The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."
"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
