Cons
"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface.""The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."

More Gluu Cons →

"If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""Geofencing needs improvement.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."

    Overview

    Gluu publishes Internet security software universities, government agencies and companies can use to securely identify a person, and manage what information they are allowed to access.

    Gluu's flagship product, the Gluu Server, enables organizations to use free open source software (FOSS) to deliver a central authentication and authorization service for web and mobile applications.

    The Gluu Server can be used to achieve:

    - Single Sign-On
    - Adaptive Authentication
    - Web & API Access Management
    - Directory Integration
    - Custom Enrollment

    Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.
