Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and others in Access Management."The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."
"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."
"Ease of integration with AD."
"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."
"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."
"It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management."
"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."
"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."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"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."
"Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways."
"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."
"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."
"The tool must be made more robust."
"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."
"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."
"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."
"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."
"More off-hour support."
"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."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."
"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."
"The support could be faster."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
