Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Keeper was user-friendly.""I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device.""Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school).""I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO.""Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting.""What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard.""I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility.""The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."

More Keeper Pros →

"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable.""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.""As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable.""Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known.""The solution is easy to use for our managers.""Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability.""The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature""It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."

Cons
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription.""Its aesthetic needs improvement.""It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there.""Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS.""I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards.""Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault.""I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser.""The technical support has no experience."

More Keeper Cons →

"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur.""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.""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 support could be faster.""The technical support could be better.""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.""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.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
  • "Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
  • "Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
  • "It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
  • "Just buy the yearly subscription."
  • "Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
  • "ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
  • "We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
  • More Keeper 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."
