Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO).
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"SAML 2.0."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"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?"
"It is reliable."
"All of our applications get a point, click, and you are in, while we increase security at the same time."
"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 most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"I liked the debugging part. There are only two files (trace file and log file) that you need to look into while performing debugging, and the logs give you the exact info on where and what needs to be fixed."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"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."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex, painful. But that is to be expected of any new setup. When you're a big bank like us, any kind of migration to a new product is hard. I expect it to be painful, and it was painful. But it's not something that you can avoid."
