Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and others in Access Management."From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."

"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"It's quite scalable."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"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 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?"
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."

"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."

"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."

"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."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"The technical support could be better."
"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."
