"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."
"I liked the debugging part. There are only two files (trace file and log file) that you need to look into while performing debugging, and the logs give you the exact info on where and what needs to be fixed."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"If you look at our organization, and really all financial institutions, we have a lot of legacy apps. So it really helps to get Single Sign-On."
"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."

"The technical support could be better."
"The support could be faster."
"The initial setup was complex, painful. But that is to be expected of any new setup. When you're a big bank like us, any kind of migration to a new product is hard. I expect it to be painful, and it was painful. But it's not something that you can avoid."
"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."
"I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
