Pros
"The most valuable feature of Entrust GetAccess is its performance."

More Entrust GetAccess Pros →

"The most valuable features of NetIQ Access Manager are SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication.""There are lots of options to customize the solution to your needs.""It's very easy to integrate with applications.""The single sign-on feature is excellent.""The features that we have found most valuable with NetIQ Access Manager are its single sign-on and two factor two second factor database."

More NetIQ Access Manager Pros →

"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers.""It is reliable.""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.""The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature""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.""Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known.""You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours.""Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."

Cons
"Entrust GetAccess is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."

More Entrust GetAccess Cons →

"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization.""In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device.""I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance.""Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution.""Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."

More NetIQ Access Manager Cons →

"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur.""The support could be faster.""The technical support could be better.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""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.""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.""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.""We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Entrust GetAccess, which is very expensive."
  • More Entrust GetAccess Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of the solution is average."
  • More NetIQ Access Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
  • "Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
  • "The licensing is fair for this solution."
  • "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 pricing is reasonable."
