Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy.""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."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pros →

"OneLogin is efficient.""The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time.""It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management.""Ease of integration with AD.""Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin.""The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature.""Documentation.""One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."

More OneLogin by One Identity Pros →

"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.""It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have.""Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO.""It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security.""Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable.""The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory.""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?"

More Symantec Siteminder Pros →

Cons
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve.""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.""The self-service portal needs improvement.""Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers.""The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane.""I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera.""We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications.""In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal.""They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us.""The tool must be made more robust.""I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

More OneLogin by One Identity Cons →

"CA has reporting at the moment. With the reporting, every particular segmented product has a reporting engine. I would like to see centralized reporting for all of them together.""I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface.""Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur.""I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product.""I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration.""They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
  • More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
  • "The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
  • "The price of the licensing is fine."
  • "The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
  • "We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
  • "OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
  • "While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
  • "It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
  • More OneLogin by One Identity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
