We performed a comparison between Red Hat Single Sign On and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Red Hat SSO integrates well with our other solutions. Using OIDC protocols and ITL integration, employees can authenticate with Red Hat SSO and access our microservices."
"Red Hat SSO has a lot of very concise, well laid out documentation, which is available in the free edition as well."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to assign only one password for the user at a false value."
"It is very easy to scale and use as you want."
"Good support for single sign-on protocols."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"IWA is an out-of-the-box feature. The SAML-based federation is standard for all tools. However, CA Single Sign-On has made the federation configuration way too simple and handy to set up and use."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"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."
"If you look at our organization, and really all financial institutions, we have a lot of legacy apps. So it really helps to get Single Sign-On."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"Security could be improved."
"They could provide more checks and balances to find out if there have been any security lapses, e.g., if somebody is trying to break into the system. Some other products have these detection mechanisms in case someone is trying to hack into the system or find out a user's passwords."
"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated."
"The product’s technical support services could be better."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"The technical support could be better."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"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."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
