Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."One standout feature is the capability to configure various authentication and authorization methods from diverse user directories."
"The most valuable features are predominantly in the directory and development spaces."
"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."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"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."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"It is reliable."
"If you look at our organization, and really all financial institutions, we have a lot of legacy apps. So it really helps to get Single Sign-On."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"It makes you more efficient, but you have to optimize what you're doing before you get into the software."
"There's a need for effective group membership management, especially for corporate programs."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
