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.
Ritesh_Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management
WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

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

"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."
 

Cons

"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"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."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"There are problems with stability."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
 

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."
"The tool is affordable."
"The product is a little expensive."
"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."
"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."
"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."
"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."
"At this time we are working with the open-source version."
"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."
"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."
"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
