ClickGuard vs. Okta vs. Oracle Access Management

if you're big company who has niche market. and that niche market is somewhat similar to some nearby catagory that is irrelevant to you, ClickGaurd is perfect piece of puzzle here. distincts your relevant B2B traffic from single users who only requires pretty basic service. saves your click resource and efforts of lead generation.

Should be well-suited for a SaaS business organisation as they have a lot of internal applications and need a role-based authentication system between the various teams, improving security and audit log system to account for any breaches. It integrates well with internal applications such as Salesforce and Oracle. Best when need of SSO.

OAM is designed to be scalable, and it can handle large-scale deployments with thousands of users and applications. It provides a centralized framework for managing access to web applications and resources, enabling organizations to define and enforce security policies across their entire IT environment. OAM offers a range of authentication and authorization mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication and OAuth-based authentication, making it suitable for organizations that need to meet different security and compliance requirements.

• One obvious positive is that it actually works. I have seen where there were all these click activities happening but the conversions did not come close to matching up.success.
• I'd also like to mention some of the features that were very useful to our campaigns. Features like IP Monitoring, Cross-Campaign Blocking, and Automatic Malicious Click Deflection.

• Centralized control of enterprise passwords
• Extensive customization of acceptable password criteria
• One system for Identity and Access Management to learn
• Scalable throughout the university for all central services
• Uniform login experience for students, faculty, and staff
• Single point of response to address termination of access
• Ability to use FastPass for lower priority systems
• Excellent support of multi-factor requirements

• Oracle Access Management allows superior session management capabilities. It can maintain and terminate session states using access engine and endpoint cookies or security tokens.
• It allows for automated single sign-on as well as protocol translation.
• The suite allows for real-time fraud detection and prevention capabilities. This is especially useful where our applications are accessed by tens of thousands of users simultaneously.

• The one thing I've noticed that I believe is a disadvantage would have to be the lack of support on weekends or holidays which is understandable but at the same time, I'm sure people expect to still be supported right around the clock if that is what is advertised.

• I'm not sure it's really a room for improvement thing, but due to the granularity offered by Okta, sometimes it can be challenging to find exactly what you're looking for.
• There was an instance in which we had issues getting SAML configured for an application. I feel this challenge was mostly user error (on our part) because we didn't realize the SAML instructions were SPECIFIC to each app integration and changed (codes) each time. We attempted to mirror the settings/configurations of an existing app (same app, but different domain). I think having a note somewhere that indicated that the instructions were unique to each integration would have saved us a bit of time. Again, I'm not sure this is really an issue with Okta though, more of a user learning curve thing.
• Sometimes searching for things is a challenge (without the "Rockstar" add-in). For example, if you have a user group called "Okta_users_everyone", searching for "everyone" will not find it. You have to search for the beginning of the object name (not just any part of it). The ability to search partial or wildcard would greatly enhance search functionality.

• The interface can be tricky or confusing
• It lacks helpful intuitive tutorials and walkthroughs (lots of figuring out on your own)
• The product can be pricey for small businesses
• Software was sometimes very buggy
• Creating your own scripts and templates is quite challenging
• Tech Support was not at all helpful aside from simple set up

Okta has a passion to provide secure and scalable identity solution. Their passion has come across as advocacy in a way that has deepened my knowledge of the field of authentication. I took identity for granted before but after seeing features such as external authentication I know that Okta can enable my business to reach new heights

Some of its features are great and some are slightly complex and not easy without vendor support.

Usability with this and any Oracle product is a hit or miss. Over the years things are significantly better and I had users feeling better about training and usability. It shows Oracle have taken customer feedback and made the improvement. What is I would say however it requires a bit of training upfront.

The Okta Identity Cloud advertises 4 9's of reliability and I would go as far to say that it may even do better than that. As a true Global organization that operates in just about every region of the world, we have yet to have an issue with The Okta Identity Cloud that has impacted our business operations.

From my perspective, for the things that my group uses it for, Okta is very fast. It is as least as fast as the local password database methods that it replaces on our campus enterprise services. I do not believe that it slows anything down at all. In fact, not having to think too much about the login, because they all look the same, probably speeds things up somewhat.

I actually do feel supported. I haven't needed much of it because the app works so well, but for the times I did, they were there and very capable.

We've had a few support cases over the years and every case has been handled by the Okta support team beautifully. We received clear answers to questions we had regarding setup and even were provided simple to follow guides on how to setup their product to use with custom applications.

Highly customized packages to choose from made ClickGAURD our first preference. The reviews and word of mouth around ClickGAURD were pretty positive. The support team was easily reachable and helped clear all our doubts in the initial phase itself.

Okta is far superior in terms of integrations, user interface, automation, and connectivity. Additionally, Okta offers better support and availability, and a more robust solution across every capacity Entra competes in. Okta simply works, whereas Microsoft Entra has a large overhead that is difficult to use when configuring things.

I don't have must of a reference to compare and contrast Oracle Access Management to. I have used smaller systems before and a comparison is like apples to oranges. Oracle Access Management, in my view, is at a bigger scale as opposed to smaller customized able systems I have used before which generally has a few positives vs negatives based on how you look at it.

Being a cloud native application, The Okta Identity Cloud is extremely scalable and easy to setup. By integrating into existing directories and applications via standard techniques and protocols, it is very easy to both initially setup and add additional users as required. Once all the necessary integrations are setup, it's a simple rinse and repeat process to onboard additional users (which can be automated with imports as well)

• In this case, there is a steady return on investment as well as additional benefits. With the money I save, the app is basically free.

• Reduces password fatigue and keeps all my apps together in a central location for easy access throughout the day. Adding new apps is simple.
• I am more productive by using the centralized app's portal rather than logging in to lots of different applications.
• Nothing is automated through OKTA but it does improve our security.

• It is difficult to tell what the exact return on investment is. The product saves time and increases security. These are the benefits.
• Provides centralized, policy-based authentication and single sign-on for Web applications of the agencies.
• A single place for authentication and session management for all users and their applications.
