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.

Sap Its Workstream Manager at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized access control has improved risk detection and streamlined multi-system user provisioning
Having one tool to populate many systems for one user is one of the most beneficial aspects of the product, along with the audit part. When using Firefighter, we could have information about what a user modified or did in production because we sometimes have to use an SU01 transaction, so in that case, we use Firefighter. The main benefit for me is that it is a global system to manage the user in many systems, and also the assessment of risk with GRC. We are using Access Request to onboard people. I see some potential improvements for stability because sometimes we do not know why the approval workflow of GRC stops in the middle. When we have a look in GRC, we see that the validation is finished, but that is not the case. Sometimes, we have to check and relaunch GRC. It helps in risk detection. The benefits of SAP Access Control's user permissions management are measured through the reports in GRC. Time savings are obvious. In one request, we are able to create a user in a different system, so it is a time saving. It is a money saving as well because the access manager spends less time creating a user in a different system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have not had issues surrounding any failure or instability, and we use it with remote work to access our applications from anywhere, 24/7."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Oracle Access Manager is a very efficient solution if you're working with Oracle applications like ELT, and so on."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"The product supports customization."
"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
"Having one tool to populate many systems for one user is one of the most beneficial aspects of the product, along with the audit part."
 

Cons

"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
"I would expect a product with a reputation like Oracle to be very stable and it is not in my opinion."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"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."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"Because it took time to get advice on a tricky issue, the support from SAP could be better."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a part of our package with SAP. There is no extra cost in addition to the license."
