"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"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."
"The support could be faster."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"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."
