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

"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"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."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"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."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
 

Cons

"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"There are problems with stability."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"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."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"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."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"We had issues with the stability."
"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."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"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."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
