    I think that the platform is well suited to many Remote Access VPN solutions, but I also think there is a lot of room for improvement on the backend. If you are hoping to deploy your APM solution across many different datacenters or colos, it may not be the best choice for the final solution.

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.

    Cons
    F5
    • There's some more advanced configurations within OAuth that I think could be fleshed out and easier to approach.
    • There's a lot of things in F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager policies that I find myself recreating every policy. An easier way to copy objects from one to policy to another.

    • 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
    F5
    Once things are set up, it is nice and easy to get the Edge Client running on user's PCs. However, that setup process can be a bit daunting at first using the Policy Manager, and reviewing session logs can be difficult at first if you aren't 100% sure of what you're looking for.

    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.

    It is open platform so support is not good and than F5 and features visibility as not good as F5. F5 Set up and easy to use to admin console. Also have more feature visibility for load balancing, web server accelerator, application server ddos protection and WAF. F5 more efficient to handle concurrent request.

    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.

    • Single sign on is great for students and faculty and staff
    • Users don't have to log in multiple times
    • Users don't need to remember multiple login IDs and passwords
    • Multi Domain SSO support bridges many internal and external facing products with single sign on

    • It help us to reduce password fatigue & exposure related to numerous applications within the organization thus enhancing the users performance
    • The single point of failure always keeps us in tension which make us little nervous about this Oracle SSO.
    • The cost of this product licenses adds to one of the dislikes.
