Centralized access control has improved secure onboarding and supports strict compliance
I wish we had used ForgeRock's adaptive risk-based authentication, which allows dynamic adjustment of authentication requirements based on user behavior. This could have helped us further strengthen our security. Another hidden gem is the built-in support for custom authentication modules and scripting, which gives a great deal of flexibility to tailor authentication flows. The self-service capabilities for password resets and account recovery have been very helpful in reducing support overhead and improving user experience. Discovering and utilizing these features would have definitely made our integration even smoother and would have provided additional value for both our users and our security team. One area of improvement would be the user interface for policy and workflow configuration, which can become complex and sometimes unintuitive, especially for new administrators. A more streamlined and user-friendly UI would help reduce the learning curve. Enhanced out-of-the-box analytics and reporting would also be valuable, as our current options often require custom development or integration with external tools. While extensibility is a strength, documentation for advanced customizations and integrations could be more comprehensive and easier to follow. Improved support for seamless upgrades and backward compatibility would also help minimize downtime. In terms of performance, optimizing the platform for high concurrency environments would be beneficial, especially for organizations with large user bases or peak usage periods. Enhanced scalability features such as more granular or horizontal scaling options would provide better support for distributed deployments. For integrations, having more pre-built connectors and easy integration with modern cloud-native services would accelerate adoption. Improved monitoring and real-time health dashboards would help proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.

A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ForgeRock has CIAM with leading and innovative solutions and is DevOps and cloud ready."
"Easy to navigate, handle and manage the applications."
"The product is easy to use in a development environment."
"Easy to customize and adaptable to any environment."
"We never experienced any user ID, user password, or personal information being leaked because it was a very secure system that we implemented properly."
"One of the interesting projects was to use ForgeRock as software as a service for the biggest telecommunication company in Switzerland, where they used it as a service for their customers."
"ForgeRock has had a very positive impact on my organization, especially in terms of standardization, security posture, and operational efficiency."
"Highly customizable is one of the main advantages of the ForgeRock product, with rapid deployment, highly improved performance and scalability, and full integration with internal provisioning systems."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
 

Cons

"The solution requires more simplified customization. However, part of the problem is my clients determining their own preferences. Technology can help and do many things, but you have to define your own policies to ensure that the solution or service works within those parameters. Helping customers understand their business and different processes is another issue not relating to the functionality of this solution."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement."
"I wish the JavaScript part could be improved, as not everyone is proficient in JavaScript, so automating that or reducing the reliance on it could be beneficial."
"ForgeRock can be improved by making it easier to understand the licensing and upgrade protocols."
"I don't think ForgeRock directly supports integrations with Slack, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced."
"It would be better if they were available for support whenever the customer needs it, especially during migration or go-live time periods."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
"The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."
"We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."
"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."
"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
