Entrust GetAccess vs Symantec Siteminder comparison

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

"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."

"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."

"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."

"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."

"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."

"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."

"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."

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

"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."

"The maintenance cost has increased significantly, and we are concerned about this."

"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."

"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."

"The support could be faster."

"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."

"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."

"We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Entrust GetAccess, which is very expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is competitive."

"The licensing is fair for this solution."

"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."

"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."

"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."

"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."
