Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pros →

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use.""The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great.""Ease of integration with AD.""The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time.""One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance.""Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had.""It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management.""The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."

More OneLogin by One Identity Pros →

"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns.""SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account.""It has considerably reduced the amount of time that new users would take to join into the organization. Previously, it was a lengthy, manual process because it's a very secure environment, where they need to verify the user before they can actually grant him a user-ID and password. Integrating with the built-in custom application, and exposing CA Single Sign On to the internet, we were able to get the employees onboard. The time that we gained was: previously it would generally take from four to eight weeks for each employee, we brought it to one to two days.""It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security.""It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate.""Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability.""It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers.""Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."

More Symantec Siteminder Pros →

Cons
"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.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""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.""The self-service portal needs improvement."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers.""More off-hour support.""having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable.""While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations.""The tool must be made more robust.""To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that.""I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics.""This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

More OneLogin by One Identity Cons →

"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication.""I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration.""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.""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.""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.""They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting.""To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
  • More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
  • "The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."
  • "The price of the licensing is fine."
  • "The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
  • "We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."
  • "OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."
  • "While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
  • "It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."
  • More OneLogin by One Identity 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."
