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.

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."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"I was able to use the new SAML Service Provider capability to consume a federated token and exchange it for an OAM token for subsequent session requests across multiple applications."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"Oracle Access Manager is a very efficient solution if you're working with Oracle applications like ELT, and so on."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
 

Cons

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"There are problems with stability."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"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."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"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."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"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."
