I use it for authentication and authorization.
SiteMinder simplified user access for our organization.
It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate.
From the developer's point of view, it offers quite an easy-to-use interface.
I like being able to integrate with different systems and it is agent-based.
Inside the same web server, it automatically has the framework to do the authentication and authorization. So it's quite easy to set up, especially for a lot of applications.
It doesn't have a feature for... or maybe it has, but for modern authentication, like OAuth or OIDC. We haven't utilized that portion; we haven't really looked at it because our priority is LDAP integration.
Modern authentication, like SAML-based or OAuth. But in our case with SiteMinder, we haven't utilized that portion of the feature.
In future releases, I would like to see maybe some more modern authentication, OAuth, OIDC, some of these plus identity mapping… It probably already has some of this, but we would want to ask for more identity mapping.
Also, development of support and compatibility to configure these, like with container-based deployments like Docker.
It's already existing in my environment. We've been using it for quite some years.
So, I have been using it for at least 20 years.
The pricing is reasonable.
Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten.
