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."

    Overview

    Symantec® SiteMinder is designed to secure the modern enterprise through a unified access management platform that applies the appropriate authentication mechanism to positively identify users; provides single sign-on and identity federation for seamless access to any application; enforces granular security policies to stop unauthorized access to sensitive resources; and monitors and manages the entire user session to prevent session hijacking. Finally, Symantec SiteMinder is battle-tested and has been deployed in the largest IT environments in the world.

    Employee awareness plays a big role in countering data breaches originating from stolen or weak user credentials. Strengthening the internal defence mechanism is only one piece of the security puzzle. The need of the hour is proactive management of security vulnerabilities that are being rampantly exploited by cyber criminals. While countering these potential threats, organizations walk a tightrope. They are not only bound to provide the right access to the right people but are also obligated to comply with stringent data security regulations. To add to the woes, they operate in a multi-vendor environment where multiple solutions are at play, further complicating control requirements.

    We understand the challenges involved in managing data security in such a conflicting environment. Our Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution helps organizations efficiently balance the objectives of access, security, and compliance. The solution is packed with identity governance and access management features that enterprises need to strengthen security and simplify compliance:
