The initial setup is difficult on-premises. However, deploying the solution on the cloud is quite easy.

The first time when one does the initial setup, it can be complex. But if one does more initial setups and once a person knows how to do it, it's not very complex. It's quite a process to do the initial setup. But once a person has done it, they will have a shorter learning curve.

The implementation is complex. Where I use it, was already set up. I don't know how it was set up. However, when I look at it, I can see it is a complex deployment.

The initial setup for Oracle Access Manager is complex because it's not integrated properly. In Oracle, each product is separate. For example, you have Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, and Oracle Identity Manager, and there should be integration rather than individual products. Having a single pane of glass would be helpful to customers.

The initial setup is very straightforward. The major requirement, when it comes to installation, is getting the proper business equipment and requirements in place. It takes a bit of time.

Yes, when you try to deploy and don't know exactly which, you can develop Custom OAM Plugins you need to search also about the OSGi Framework, this framework is the base of OAM Custom Plugins, and Oracle doesn't offer much documentation about it.

The setup is more complicated, complex and takes more time than the setup of comparable solutions like SiteMinder. The reason for this is because, with Oracle Access Manager, you have to install an Oracle WebLogic Server that is an administration server. Then you need to install another WebLogic server where you deploy Oracle Access Manager. The whole process of doing this is kind of complicated in my opinion.  

If you want to install SiteMinder, for example, you just run an installer on Windows and you are done with the installation. That is it and it is that easy. You do not have to fuss with additional installations. And the graphical interface in SiteMinder is more user-friendly. In general and from an architectural viewpoint, SiteMinder is just more simple than Oracle Access Manager.  

With Oracle Access Manager, the deployment took about one week for one environment and to get the installation to a state of completion. I was the only one involved in the deployment process and I did the whole job. One or two people at the client site do the maintenance after deployment. That is one person for monitoring and maintenance and then an Oracle professional. The customer has the Oracle professional in order to deliver Oracle professional services and as an Oracle consultant for major issues. He is not there for daily operations. Daily operations is what the other person is for.

In most cases the implementation is simple. However, it can get more complicated. In an instance which requires high security (e.g., a bank), we have to make sure there are no back door entry points to log in. Once this is done, it is very secure. If the installation is simple, it doesn't take much time. If there are hundreds of machines and they require customization, it can take quite a bit of additional time.

It's not easy to integrate Oracle Access with other non-Oracle products. It takes some more effort, and you will need to refer to the documentation or technical support. It will allow integration, but it will not necessarily be easy to implement.

The installation is very easy. The full deployment took approximately one month.

The installation is not straightforward. In fact, the implementation of OAM is complex, compared to other products, but once it is implemented it is good.

If there are no problems coming in, then it can be done in a few hours. However, if there are some problems then the troubleshooting is a long haul.

We have a couple of engineers to maintain this solution.

Only because I was familiar. I doubt a first-timer would be able to navigate the documentation.

The first implementation was quite complex. It does get easier over time, however. We now have much more experience installing it, so implementation is becoming easier.

The first time you deploy the solution, you're looking at a couple of months in terms of length. When you get more experienced, it may only take a few weeks.
