We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL], Symantec Siteminder, and Symantec VIP Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."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."
"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."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"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 most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"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's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward."
"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."
"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."
"The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance."
"It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft."
"The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model."
"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."
"It is easy to use."
"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."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"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."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"The technical support could be better."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"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."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users."
"The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."
"In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access."
"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
"Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it."
"Geofencing needs improvement."
"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
"The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."
