Pros
"The most valuable feature of Entrust GetAccess is its performance."

More Entrust GetAccess Pros →

"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively.""The product was built to be scalable.""The product allows customization via custom code.""The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients.""The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible.""The product supports customization.""I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

More Oracle Access Manager Pros →

"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.""Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known.""We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns.""As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable.""It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have.""I liked the debugging part. There are only two files (trace file and log file) that you need to look into while performing debugging, and the logs give you the exact info on where and what needs to be fixed.""The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature""It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."

Cons
"Entrust GetAccess is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."

More Entrust GetAccess Cons →

"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities.""The technical support is not very good at all.""In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface.""The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive.""The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality.""The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow.""Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."

More Oracle Access Manager Cons →

"The support could be faster.""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.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not.""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.""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.""The technical support could be better.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Entrust GetAccess, which is very expensive."
  • More Entrust GetAccess Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Can be expensive as a solution."
  • "The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
  • "On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
  • "The product is a little expensive."
  • More Oracle Access Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
  • "I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
  • "CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
  • "Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
  • "The licensing is fair for this solution."
  • "Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
