Oracle Access Management delivers risk-aware, end-to-end multifactor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) that integrate identities and systems across cloud and on-premises.
CSI Watchdog is a great tool when carrying out individual vetting or multiple vetting and can help trace and trace elements that have been placed on red alert, allowing organizations to work with individuals whose reputation is not questionable. However, making entries on its screen can be a daunting task, especially for new users. One needs to familiarise themselves with these tools before one gains some level of proficiency and competence.
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.
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 product could be improved by simplifying changing the master password. That is, if you change a password in one place, it would be good to automate changing the password for all the gateways so that change is less complicated.
It should be more Customizable for Customer Specific needs.
Oracle Access Management connects well with Oracle Database but doesn't work smoothly with Microsoft AD.
Usability with this platform is pretty good after you get a handle of things. I must say for new users it can take some time for training and adoption. This however is not just limited to Oracle products but most major ERP. Once you get past the initial training period all should be well from there.
The only other product I have used is the System for Award Management (SAM), maintained by the US Government. Compared to this, CSI WatchDOG is much more reliable and has more options. I also believe the batch vetting/screening option in CSI WatchDOG gives it a definite edge over SAM.
Both are great products. From a technical point of view Oracle Access Management implementation is relatively simple due to the possibility to adjust the functionality and appearance of the system to the customer's needs. SAP is a robust product but not user friendly and more expensive. Overall cost and product functionality was what drove us to implement Oracle Access Management.
