An affordable solution for communication with customization
Feitian IAM reduces the risk of internal and external data breaches because it provides proper identities management and give greater control to administrators. Before Feitian IAM, our users need to input user+password+OTP for all our internal applications, now they only need to input once. Feitian IAM can automatically sync users from HR systems and Microsoft AD to our CRM systems and Email system, which saved a lot of time for our IT. We were using OTP tokens before Feitian IAM, Feitian IAM supports OTP and FIDO2 and many others.

Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They provide extra help for providing codes, and their license model is perpetual which is better than others."
"It's our single solution for managing user authentication."
"Security to protect digital assets is most valuable to us."
"It's more efficient; we're providing immense security to the applications, to Chase, and we're securing 70 million customers in Chase."
"Single Sign-On is the number one feature of SiteMinder that we're using."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"I really like the robust functionality that this solution offers, such as federation, OAuth, security, and multi-tenancy, just to name a few."
"The solution has features that allow you to easily distinguish between protected and unprotected resources."
"Siteminder allows us to manage identity and portability control efficiently."
 

Cons

"FEITIAN has a recording feature, but it cannot record the configuration."
"There is a considerable improvement in the product from previous versions, but a few items we feel need a little attention are the web agent installation process and steps – as it behaves differently on the same OS."
"We installed one version and there is a bug in it; from a customer perspective I would want that particular issue to be fixed rather than getting an answer that the bug will be fixed in the next version."
"Although the policy server has sometimes spontaneously restarted, it’s mostly good."
"The setup was not straightforward. I would give it a 7/10 rating - 1 being simple and 10 being complex."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
