"It is very easy to scale and use as you want."

"Good support for single sign-on protocols."
"It is reliable."
"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."
"It's quite scalable."
"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."
"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."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."

"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated."
"The product’s technical support services could be better."
"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."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"The technical support could be better."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"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."
"All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem."
"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."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
