Entrust GetAccess vs Symantec Siteminder comparison

"The most valuable feature of Entrust GetAccess is its performance."

"You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."

"The most valuable feature is the Federation part of Single Sign On, which is customizable and is easily integrated with any customer application or any third party application."

"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."

"All of our applications get a point, click, and you are in, while we increase security at the same time."

"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."

"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."

"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."

"It is pretty easy to learn."

"Entrust GetAccess is a very expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."

"The initial setup of Symantec SiteMinder was a bit tricky. I would rate it a seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten indicates an easy setup."

"The support could be faster."

"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."

"The maintenance cost has increased significantly, and we are concerned about this."

"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."

"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."

"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."

"CA has reporting at the moment. With the reporting, every particular segmented product has a reporting engine. I would like to see centralized reporting for all of them together."

"We need to pay a yearly licensing fee for Entrust GetAccess, which is very expensive."

"Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."

"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."

"The solution's pricing is competitive."

"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."

"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."

"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."

"The licensing is fair for this solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."
