Kasm Workspaces vs. Oracle Access Management

Kasm Workspaces is a good fit for when you need to provide home-based workers access to corporate information or application, but you don't want to provide full network access through a VPN connection. It works well for when you want to ensure that data cannot be taken out of the network or you want to allow non-company devices to be used to access internal resources.

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.

• Access from the web browser without having to install an agent or a VPN.
• Can be used on personal devices since the data is not stored on the device.
• No risk of data loss since the information never leaves the company network.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Remote workers had to be familiarized with the browser-in-browser for web applications.

• 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 Kasm support team is always responsive to our questions. They interact with us directly, even as a small customer. They also notify us of software updates and check in on our usage of the software.

Kasm is alot more cost effective than Citrix or VMWare. We wanted an on-premise solution to provide remote access to our internal network resources. The Citrix and VMware solutions require significantly more hardware to run, since Kasm runs on a Linux server as containers and each of the images run as a small container. The licenses were significantly less expensive for Kasm too.

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.

• Increased productivity by enabling a remote workforce.
• Allows work from any location or any device.

• 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.
