Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Keeper Bridge.""The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing.""Chrome extension and app.""Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems.""The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable.""I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility.""It syncs with all devices and supports all platforms.""Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."

More Keeper Pros →

"It is a very stable solution.""One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned.""A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable.""Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes.""It is flexible and easy to install.""It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do.""Having a single sign-on to all our applications.""The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."

More Okta Workforce Identity Pros →

"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.""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?""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 single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature""Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability.""The solution is easy to use for our managers.""Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."

More Symantec Siteminder Pros →

Cons
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS.""The stability of the solution can be improved.""API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage.""The password rotation feature could be improved.""Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity.""The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside.""I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser.""Search functions are sometimes weird."

More Keeper Cons →

"The initial setup can be complex at first.""On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user.""Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow.""It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup.""The product does not offer enough integration capabilities.""UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions.""We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito.""The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."

More Okta Workforce Identity Cons →

"The support could be faster.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not.""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.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""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.""The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur.""Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7.""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."

  • "Just buy the yearly subscription."
  • "Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
  • "ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
  • "We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
  • More Keeper Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
  • "License is around US$20,000 annually."
  • "I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
  • "It is costly for large companies."
  • "The price of this product could be lower."
  • "It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
  • More Okta Workforce 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."
