Cons
"ForgeRock is an open source solution and is available to everyone but it is not freeware. If you need support, you need a subscription for ForgeRock. Many of its functionalities need to be built up with the help of a consultant.""As with any complex software platform, there is a learning curve to using ForgeRock, and it may require specialized expertise to implement and manage effectively.""The product's support services in the French language are not free.""In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by limiting the need to do customizations.""I think the upgrade process is sometimes a little complicated and there are failures that occur.""The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI.""We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced.""The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."

More ForgeRock Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface.""The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure.""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 initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly.""The technical support is not very good at all.""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.""There are problems with stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."
  • "We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."
  • "Its price is comparable to other products in the market."
  • "Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."
  • "The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."
  • "The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."
  • "ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."
  • "ForgeRock is an expensive solution."
  • More ForgeRock Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Can be expensive as a solution."
  • "The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
  • "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 product is a little expensive."

    Reviews from Real Users

    ForgeRock stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust identity and access tools and its being easy to manage and scale with one central dashboard.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A technology solutions leader at an outsourcing company writes, “We need it for multiple clients, multiple implementations. Not all of them are necessarily a multi-tenant solution. We need a very versatile solution that can do a lot of work, but from a single instance that we can centralize authentications and we don't duplicate the efforts and that's where ForgeRock seems to do better.”

    Mohamed B., a cyber security consultant at a tech company, writes, "Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users. ForgeRock secured our system so that it is accessed only by authorized people, and it implemented the SSO."

    Oracle Access Manager delivers risk-aware end-to-end user authentication, single sign-on, and authorization protection, enabling enterprises to secure access from mobile devices and seamlessly integrate social identities with applications.
