"IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is a good solution. It's both stable and scalable."
"The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature"
"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?"
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"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 is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"It would be better if the administration and configurations were more straightforward. The architectural level is also quite complex."
"The technical support could be better."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."
"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 main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
