Researched Oracle Access Manager but chose Symantec Siteminder: Being able to debug problems is a valuable feature. ​I would like a more modern, cloud-based interface with dynamic real-time information.
It definitely makes customers' or users' lives easier. People don't really appreciate it until they don't have it. Once everyone has SSO, if you... Read more →

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

More Entrust GetAccess Pros →

"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients.""The product allows customization via custom code.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible.""The product was built to be scalable.""Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products.""Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market.""The MFA is the most valuable aspect."

More Oracle Access Manager Pros →

"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability.""It is reliable.""It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers.""It's quite scalable.""As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable.""The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that.""Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable.""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?"

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

More Entrust GetAccess Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface.""The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features.""The technical support is not very good at all.""The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality.""In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management.""The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure.""The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive.""There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."

More Oracle Access Manager Cons →

"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not.""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.""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.""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.""CA has reporting at the moment. With the reporting, every particular segmented product has a reporting engine. I would like to see centralized reporting for all of them together.""Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7.""The technical support could be better."

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 →

  • "Can be expensive as a solution."
  • "The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
  • "On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
  • "The product is a little expensive."

    • More Oracle 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."
