Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 15, 2025

Oracle Access Manager and Okta Platform are competitive identity management solutions. Okta Platform is often seen as superior due to its advanced functionalities and ease of use, which clients find worth the investment.

Features: Oracle Access Manager offers comprehensive identity management and robust security, particularly benefiting organizations integrated with Oracle products. It boasts extensive customization for complex authentication needs. Okta Platform stands out with seamless integration, a wide range of app support, and powerful single sign-on capabilities, appealing to organizations seeking adaptability and user-friendly experiences.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Access Manager could simplify its deployment and enhance integration options for non-Oracle environments. There is room for improved user interface design to increase ease of use for admins. Additionally, more flexible licensing options would benefit cost management. Okta Platform can expand its identity governance features and offer more detailed reporting capabilities. Improving scalability for extremely large enterprises and easing the customization of workflows could also enhance its offering.

Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface

The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good. Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization by dramatically improving our security posture, enforcing Multi-factor Authentication across all applications, and increasing productivity by allowing employees to access all their tools with one set of credentials."

"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."

"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."

"The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity; the moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated."

"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."

"We find the solution to be stable."

"In my opinion, Okta Platform's best features include federation, which is very important, especially when you work with different systems."

"Okta Workforce Identity is reliable, and its user experience and user interface are great."

More Okta Platform pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."

"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."

"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."

"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."

"The product was built to be scalable."

"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

Cons

"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."

"In Okta Identity Governance and Okta Privileged Access, some features are still being developed. Integration with Active Directory servers, Cisco routers, and switches is not currently available."

"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."

"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."

"The initial setup can be complex at first."

"The solution is very expensive."

"There is an access request system that is very limited access to the systems available for end-users. The access request should improve in Okta Customer Identity."

"There is a need for Okta to provide an end-to-end solution without needing a separate product like Zscaler for multifactor authentication."

More Okta Platform cons

"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."

"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."

"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."

"There are problems with stability."

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."

"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."

"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is good."

"The price of this product could be lower."

"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."

"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."

"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."

"Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."

More Okta Platform pricing and cost advice

"The tool is affordable."

"The product is a little expensive."

"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."

"Can be expensive as a solution."

"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."

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
