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.

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:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and a very robust platform that can take a high number of authentication and authorization requests, and it is very flexible."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"The product supports customization."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good, and the company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"We are able to use this tool to better secure next generation data centers, which use software defined networks."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"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."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"I use this solution to generate keystores and certifications and link these with project development in our company."
"The Identity Server has been able to manage our complete user base with ease - including authorization and authentication."
"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."
 

Cons

"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"Technical support needs improvement, they could be 200% better. The reason that most people are having problems is because of the support they provide."
"I would expect a product with a reputation like Oracle to be very stable and it is not in my opinion."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"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."
"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."
"First, improvements have to been made in the high availability architecture. This has to do with the master-slave replication, and how the load balancing is handled between the identity servers."
"I tried the product but I found it very cumbersome, so I no longer use it."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is affordable."
"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 price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"The product is a little expensive."
"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."
"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."
"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."
"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."
