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."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"SAML 2.0."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"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."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"The most valuable feature is the Federation part of Single Sign On, which is customizable and is easily integrated with any customer application or any third party application."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"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."
"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?"
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"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."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"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."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
