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.
Bill H. - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology at City Of Keizer
Affordable, easy to use, and integrates well with Active Directory
The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home. It’s not that I mind not having two factors, but I do get that question from time to time from some of our users who think it would be really useful. From what I’ve heard, they’re working on it and it should be coming in the next version so that’s great news.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"I think that this product was really designed with scalability in mind, and we currently have about 1.6 million users and I am not aware of a limitation."
"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and a very robust platform that can take a high number of authentication and authorization requests, and it is very flexible."
"We have not had issues surrounding any failure or instability, and we use it with remote work to access our applications from anywhere, 24/7."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"It is affordable, integrates easily with Active Directory, and is simple to install and maintain."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"UserLock was pretty easy to set up and simple to use, and the documentation covered everything."
 

Cons

"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."
"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."
"Technical Support: Bad, when we have problems Oracle Support doesn't fix it."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"There are problems with stability."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"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."
"You will be hard-pressed to find better pricing."
