Entrust GetAccess vs Symantec Siteminder comparison

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

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

"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."

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

"The solution has features that allow you to easily distinguish between protected and unprotected resources."

"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."

"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."

"That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency."

"The authentication and single sign-on features of Symantec Siteminder are valuable."

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

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

"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."

"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."

"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."

"In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The solution's pricing is competitive."

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

"The licensing is fair for this solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."
