Upendar G - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"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 important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It is a very stable solution."
"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It is a scalable solution."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The product is costly."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"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."
