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.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply

We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

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

"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

"The product was built to be scalable."

"The product allows customization via custom code."

"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."

"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."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."

"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"

"You can easily integrate it and fit the system to your organization's needs, and that's a very huge advantage."

"Safe-T SDA has allowed my organization to secure my office applications and makes it harder for hackers to be able to hack into my internal office web applications."

"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."

"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."

"This product allows us to actually send it straight from our email to the other person's email in a safe way, where we can meet all our regulations and still keep the data in our control."

More Safe-T Secure Application Access pros

Cons

"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."

"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."

"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."

"It needs to be simpler to install and simpler to maintain."

"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."

"Customer Service: Poor. The EBS Access Gate support was delivered as a patch and support was not able to solve various problems, which I believe to be attributes to more current versions of OAM and WebLogic not being backwards compatible with the documented solution."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."

"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."

"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."

"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."

"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."

"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."

"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."

"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."

More Safe-T Secure Application Access cons

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."

"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 tool is affordable."

"Can be expensive as a solution."
