We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL], Imprivata OneSign, 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)."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."
"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 integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"It has benefited my organization in the way that it makes it more secure by making it harder to hack."
"It provides a service that allows users to sign in to whatever application they are using. This is the most important feature of this solution."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"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."
"It's quite scalable."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"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."
"I would like for them to make this solution compatible with Mac OS. I would also like for them to provide a portal so that users can easily integrate it with their applications."
"They should have a landing page."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"The support could be faster."
"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 tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"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 would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
