We performed a comparison between Ilex Sign&go, Okta Workforce Identity, and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."
"The product is easy to use."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"A valuable feature of Siteminder is the way it handles bulk traffic. The features it has, in terms of routing the traffic and load balancing, are good."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"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."
"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's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"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."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"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."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
"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."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
