Featured Reviews

Serge Wautier - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified integration with helpful support and decent pricing
Auth0 is used as an identity provider for our new SaaS platform to manage the identity of users Auth0 is cost-effective because it provides all the features we need, and it was very easy to integrate into our platform. The documentation is comprehensive, and their support team is highly helpful.…

It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…
Muzi Lubisi - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"It keeps my passwords organized and safe."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"The authentication and single sign-on features of Symantec Siteminder are valuable."
"It's quite scalable."
"IWA is an out-of-the-box feature. The SAML-based federation is standard for all tools. However, CA Single Sign-On has made the federation configuration way too simple and handy to set up and use."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
 

Cons

"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"If you’re not a developer, you need to spend time exploring more."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"Better documentation for Salesforce integration is suggested."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"Siteminder needs to improve its user experience."
"The technical support could be better."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"Symantec Siteminder needs to have adaptive authentication and multi-factor authentication as integrated features."
"The Federation part of CA Single Sign On, it's a bit complex to implement because it involves the SSL certificates, exchange of certificates, and lot of technical details. The documentation misses some important parts of this, so that's the reason it took some time for us to go live."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing of Auth0 is a pain point. Their pricing model is very confusing, at least for an enterprise. I don't like their pricing model. I think it's too aggressive. It's not very cheap for a service that only does authentication."
"The tool is cheaper compared to competing solutions. Those alternatives tended to be more expensive. Consequently, Okta purchased it because it was considerably cheaper. The solution even offered some free services while still providing excellent functionality."
"I am pretty happy with the pricing model of Auth0. It is very clear for me. Considering our scale, the features that we are using, and additional features that we bought, we still find it great. If you split the costs for the whole year and calculate the number of people you needed to hire, it always comes out to be much lesser than what we would have spent on building our own solution."
"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
