Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide.""The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time.""It has Audit Log and many cool features that if we were to develop them by ourselves, it would require a lot of research and development resources. Frontegg gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system in which they can also manage some of the features and roles by themself which gives them more control over their environment.""We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components.""Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones.""The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."

"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO.""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.""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.""The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that.""Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways.""SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account.""It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have.""The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."

Cons
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized.""The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎""It would be nice to have a backup export with all tenant/users so that in case of a mistake we can have the option to restore the users.""We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap.""The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported.""Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."

"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly.""They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting.""We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful.""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.""We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them.""The support could be faster.""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.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "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."
