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

"The product was built to be scalable."

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

"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."

"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."

"I was able to use the new SAML Service Provider capability to consume a federated token and exchange it for an OAM token for subsequent session requests across multiple applications."

"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."

"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"It offers robust features and customization options that justify the cost."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."

"Ping Identity Platform can provide a solution for both workforce identity and access management and also for consumer identity and access management, which is CIAM."

"It is a very stable solution."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"Technical Support: Bad, when we have problems Oracle Support doesn't fix it."

"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."

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

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."

"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."

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

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

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."

"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."

"The tool is affordable."

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

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

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The tool is quite affordable."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
