We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL], Ilex Sign&go, and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO).
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"SAML 2.0."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways."
"It is reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."
"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."
"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."
