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.

Block-based workflows have improved user logins but AuthScript and navigation still need work
I wish Transmit Security had a better scrolling pinpoint feature because sometimes when I scroll through the tree, I can mess up the programming, especially if the elements are inside of a block. Besides the scrolling and pinpointing issues, I think Transmit Security can be improved regarding AuthScript, which is really designed only for Transmit Security and has a lot of potential in loops for looping through arrays or searching through arrays or when I have containers. I only have two methods to search through arrays, which are really confusing and sometimes not the best for the performance of the code. Regarding the needed improvements, I think the documentation is provided alongside the new updates, but it would help if there was a function that allows looping because it does not have a for or while loop and it is really confusing sometimes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works very well, especially in Identity and Access Management. It helps detect anomalies in user behavior patterns."
"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."
"In terms of the tool's operational efficiency, ForgeRock Access Management is used in a lot of environments, different regions, and in different stages of production environments."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to manage and it's stable."
"We create and define the permissions and configurations for the users."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"The product is easy to set up."
"ForgeRock has CIAM, which other products didn't have, and they have DevOps ready."
"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."
"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."
 

Cons

"The solution's deployment should be made easier."
"We raised tickets asking for improvements, but sometimes we don't get the proper solution. They are responding, but the ticket is open for weeks and weeks. For some issues, we don't get a satisfactory solution or the solution doesn't work."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"The product's support services in the French language are not free."
"The identity management model needs a bit of improvement."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"I think the upgrade process is sometimes a little complicated and there are failures that occur."
"I don't think ForgeRock directly supports integrations with Slack, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
"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."
"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
"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."
"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
