ForgeRock Review

Integration with Identity repository and managing SAML2.0 SSO & Federation; provides a simple upgrade from Sun OpenSSO to OpenAM and ForgeRock OpenIDM; runs seamlessly with the Sun Identity Connector Framework; Unified Platform; lightweight Infrastructure; Connected Security; Developer-friendly AM solution.

The product was used mainly to migrate from Sun IAM suite. The integration has been smooth and the costs have been significantly reduced.

Reporting and Analysis capabilities seem to be less mature. 

Business strategic partnership model with multiple parties across marketing and sales needs improvement. 

Implementation, integration capabilities and support model are still evolving and posing a risk of poor quality.

3 years

Nothing significant.

I did, but I would rather blame my LDAP infrastructure. No significant issues with the product had been encountered that are worth mentioning.

No significant issues.

3; on a scale from 1-5 (1=worst, 5=best).

The key driver had been the migration from Sun IAM.

Migration involved analysis and solution design. The setup was of medium complexity.

The solution was implemented by a vendor. Level of required expertise was 3 on a scale from 1-5 (1=worst, 5=best).

Cost, increased time to market.

I evaluated Oracle Identity suite, TIM/TAM.

It may not have a complete suite of best-in-class IAM capabilities compared to some of the market leaders; however, they are maturing steadily and rapidly expanding the portfolio with OpenDJ and OpenIDM. It’s easy to configure and yes, it’s open source!
