Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros

IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components.""I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten.""Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization.""Comprehensive ecosystem.""It's very easy to implement everything.""The keystore feature has been most valuable for us.""The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

Cons
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve.""Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs.""The self-service portal needs improvement.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""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."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective.""The high availability architecture has to be improved.""This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly.""This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
