Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"Installation and configuration are pretty easy for ForgeRock OpenIDM."
"ForgeRock has CIAM, which other products didn't have, and they have DevOps ready."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"Easy to navigate, handle and manage the applications."
"The support is good and prompt."
"Easy to customize and adaptable to any environment."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement. It is user-friendly, but there is always scope for improvement."
"We would like this solution to be developed for use with mobile applications."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"The identity management model needs a bit of improvement."
"The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by limiting the need to do customizations."
