Pros
"IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is a good solution. It's both stable and scalable."

More IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Pros →

"The product supports customization.""The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible.""The MFA is the most valuable aspect.""The product allows customization via custom code.""Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products.""The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients.""The product was built to be scalable.""From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."

More Oracle Access Manager Pros →

"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known.""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.""You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours.""It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate.""It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security.""The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that.""SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account.""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."

Cons
"It would be better if the administration and configurations were more straightforward. The architectural level is also quite complex."

More IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Cons →

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality.""There are problems with stability.""The technical support is not very good at all.""The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly.""In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management.""Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again.""The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features.""There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."

More Oracle Access Manager Cons →

"The support could be faster.""If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake.""In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not.""The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Our customers pay for the license every year or every three years. It's not available on a monthly basis."
  • More IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Can be expensive as a solution."
  • "The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
  • "On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
  • "The product is a little expensive."
  • More Oracle Access Manager 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."
