We performed a comparison between Auth0, IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL], 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).
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"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."
"SAML 2.0."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"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."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"It's quite scalable."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."
"We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
