Find out what your peers are saying about Entrust Datacard, Broadcom, OpenText and others in Web Access Management."The most valuable feature of Entrust GetAccess is its performance."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"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 is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"All of our applications get a point, click, and you are in, while we increase security at the same time."
"The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature"
"The most valuable feature is the Federation part of Single Sign On, which is customizable and is easily integrated with any customer application or any third party application."
"Entrust GetAccess is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"The support could be faster."
