We used Novell eDir Access Manager.

While there are many products in this field, most companies use either this solution or CA SSO. I encountered others on rare occasions, such as Oracle, Entrust, Ping Identity, and NetIQ.

Before, no other policy-based AuthZ solution was in place at this client.

I did not previously use a different solution.

No previous solution used.

I have used several solutions in the past.

We chose this solution for the following reasons:

• It is very easy to set up.
• The policy server is not actively used during authentication and is solely used for administration.
• No plugin is required on any HTTP server.
• It comes with a standalone (no-plugin) reverse proxy. That is in contrast to some other web access management solutions.
• The IBM reverse proxy does not have a large support matrix upon which the HTTP-servers depend.

I have always worked with IBM products. This solution was from Tivoli before IBM acquired it.

We previously managed passwords without an SSO solution. The next step was an enterprise grade SSO solution. At the time, the IBM SSO offering seemed to fit the bill.

I have used CA SiteMinder, as well.

I don't see any technical reason for switching a strategic product from IBM TAM. However, considering the iSAM way of making an appliance model, which creates dependency on the cloud for infrastructure, we may think of other options.

A home grown solution was replaced by ISAM to change and configure SSO quickly for applications and at the same time using a scalable product was other major consideration.

We moved from IBM Access Manager 6.0 (software) to IBM Security Access Manager 9.0 (Appliance). We needed to implement MFA and some other features which are not supported in the old version.

We were not using any other solution before. We were partially using Apache reverse proxy along with LDAP.

I have only ever used this product.

Nope, somehow I ended up a IBM Business Partners, always using ISAM. But are also using IBM Security Identity Manager, IBM Security Directory Server, IBM Security Directory Integrator, IBM Federated Identity Manager. Basically all IBM Security Identity and Access Management offerings except IBM Tivoli Access Manager for ESSO (confusing naming, but a really different product that does not really combine with all the others in my humble opinion).

No previous solution used.

More features were found in this product compared to the previous solution that we were using.

This is my first product. However, I am moving, along with my clients, towards ForgeRock OpenIdentity Stack.

This was the first product I have worked with.

No previous solution was used.

I have not used a different solution.

I have been with this technology for over ten years. I have been following all the developments closely. I know that it is a good solution for customers to invest in.

No solution was used previously.
