Cons

"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"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 technical support is not very good at all."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"There are problems with stability."
"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."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"We've had a few issues with the stability of this product in the past."
"It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases."
"It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing is per user per month."
