Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.
MAHESHKUMAR7 - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols
A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.

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."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"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."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"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."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"I like PingFederate."
 

Cons

"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"There are problems with stability."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."

"The tool is affordable."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"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."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
