"Siteminder allows us to manage identity and portability control efficiently."

"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?"

"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 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."

"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."

"The support team could work on their response time and overall competence."

"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."

"Symantec Siteminder needs to have adaptive authentication and multi-factor authentication as integrated features."

"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."

"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."

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

"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."
