Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"It has considerably reduced the amount of time that new users would take to join into the organization. Previously, it was a lengthy, manual process because it's a very secure environment, where they need to verify the user before they can actually grant him a user-ID and password. Integrating with the built-in custom application, and exposing CA Single Sign On to the internet, we were able to get the employees onboard. The time that we gained was: previously it would generally take from four to eight weeks for each employee, we brought it to one to two days."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"It's quite scalable."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"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."
"The support could be faster."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
