We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL], Symantec Siteminder, and Tools4ever HelloID 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."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"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."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"SAML 2.0."
"It is reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that it meets the requirements of the customer. You have a lot of features in the product. Every product has them, but the question is, are these products going to meet the requirement of the customer?"
"All of our applications get a point, click, and you are in, while we increase security at the same time."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"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."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"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."
"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 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."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"The technical support could be better."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"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."
"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."
"The support could be faster."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
