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.

Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"The stability of the solution is good, we have never had any issues and neither have any of our clients."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."
"Personally, I appreciate Identity Orchestration the most about Ping Identity Platform, as with a simple drag-and-drop interface and the correct options we can build a complex and personalized process very efficiently and effectively for registration, login, and profile management."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
 

Cons

"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"Now they have changed support locations and customer support is not as good."
"There are problems with stability."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"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 product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"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."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The product is costly."
