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 stability of the solution is good, we have never had any issues and neither have any of our clients."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"Before using OAM we authenticated via RSA Web Services, Web Services are quick but OAM lets us be scalable and provides a performance improvement."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The product supports customization."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"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 am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On, and overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"The feature that I found most valuable was the ecosystem, which is very comprehensive and allowed me to find the components that I wanted to use, including the identity server and the API."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Now they have changed support locations and customer support is not as good."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"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."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"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 solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"I tried the product but I found it very cumbersome, so I no longer use it."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"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."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"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."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
 

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