"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."

"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"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."
"The support could be faster."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
