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.

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

"The product supports customization."

"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."

"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."

"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."

"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."

"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."

"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."

More Oracle Access Manager pros

"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."

"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."

Cons

"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."

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

"The technical support is not very good at all."

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

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Access Manager cons

"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

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."

"Can be expensive as a solution."

"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 product is a little expensive."

"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."

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