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 most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"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."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
 

Cons

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"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."
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"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."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The product is costly."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
