Initial setup was complicated because TAM was implemented as a part of the IDM solution. It took me a long time to set up the directory integration among many user stores, e.g., Tivoli Identity Manager, Active Directory, Lotus Domino Directory, application user store using database.

In v8.0.1 (several years ago), the out-of-the-box solution was very complex and required a huge amount of IBM's time (at cost to the client!) in order to implement the entire solution (test/uat/prod clusters).

Due to the nature of our business and the complication around some of the applications we deploy and wanted SSO to manage, this made the production implementation of SSO take in excess of one and a half years.

The initial setup is always complex due to number of applications and user base involved. As the product is a front door for all applications this is very critical and complex setup. Also due to internal and external users and multiple authentication mechanisms involved for different type of users it gets complicated.

The initial set-up is a bit complex for a novice as the Linux version of it needs you to be somewhat good with Linux. There are certain OS requirements which if you are not familiar with Linux, you going to struggle a bit.

Not as straight forward as Microsoft products where the dependencies are bundled in the installation.

It totally depends on the way the client wants to set up and implement the product. The security requires complex implementation. This is where no one wants to compromise.

I was not involved in the initial roll-out but did participate in the upgrades from v4.1 to v5.1 and from v5.1 to v6.1. Junction file format changed from v5.1 to v6.1 which cause some challenges.

Complex. Like I mentioned, there are so many moving parts and I had issues with DB2 installation and patching it up to latest versions. This seems typical but others may have had better experiences.
