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.

"The product allows customization via custom code."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"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 scalable solution."
"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."
"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
 

Cons

"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"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."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a little expensive."
"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 price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"The tool is affordable."
"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."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"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 very expensive."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
