Pros

More Red Hat Single Sign On Pros →

"It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""It is easy to use.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""Cloud-based service and management.""The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."

Cons
"Security could be improved.""They could provide more checks and balances to find out if there have been any security lapses, e.g., if somebody is trying to break into the system. Some other products have these detection mechanisms in case someone is trying to hack into the system or find out a user's passwords.""Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated.""The product’s technical support services could be better."

More Red Hat Single Sign On Cons →

"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""Geofencing needs improvement.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users."
