Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."One standout feature is the capability to configure various authentication and authorization methods from diverse user directories."
"The most valuable features are predominantly in the directory and development spaces."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"The most valuable feature is the Federation part of Single Sign On, which is customizable and is easily integrated with any customer application or any third party application."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"The most valuable feature is that it meets the requirements of the customer. You have a lot of features in the product. Every product has them, but the question is, are these products going to meet the requirement of the customer?"
"There's a need for effective group membership management, especially for corporate programs."
"It makes you more efficient, but you have to optimize what you're doing before you get into the software."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
