Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and others in Access Management."It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
"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."
"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."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"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?"
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
"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."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"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 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."
