"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."
"It is reliable."
"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?"
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature"

"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."

"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
