Performs very well and enables us to track our customer details in a better way
The primary use was that we had implemented the identity management into our organizations which was necessary to handle our internal work, and also for our customer portal for a secure login process Has definitely improved our organization. After the implementation, we were able to track our…

Senior technical Consultant at CA Africa
Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"LoginRadius is easy to use and implement, and our customers can access our multiple web apps and websites without logging into each property individually."
"Single sign-on and multi-factor authentication: We have implemented both on our customer and employee portal, and we can track our customer data in a much better way."
"ROI is definitely on the higher side, with correct customer details we can target and nurture our prospect efficiently."
"It’s definitely an industry leader in the web access realm."
"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."
"They really made life simple for the user and the user experience has improved."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"Technical support has gotten a lot better."
"I would totally recommend this product, but I think CA has a really good handle on what the drivers are and where the business is going in terms of application development."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"For the most part, SSO is very stable."
 

Cons

"They could remove the option from the dashboard in which we need to ask for the support team to enable few services."
"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."
"It’s really difficult to initially configure, but once you know where the traps are, it’s not a big deal."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"It's a hit and miss thing, like all support organizations. For the most part, for simple problems they can get to a resolution fairly quickly, but if the problem is a little more complicated, they really struggle with getting us a solution."
"The admin UI needs to be more stable."
"The installation process was complex. There are a lot of different moving pieces, and the main complaint is that it's hard to automate any of it."
"I'd like to see the federation piece made a little simpler."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 solution's pricing is competitive."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
