"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?"
"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"It's quite scalable."
"It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"IWA is an out-of-the-box feature. The SAML-based federation is standard for all tools. However, CA Single Sign-On has made the federation configuration way too simple and handy to set up and use."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"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."
"We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."
"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."
"All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
