Performs very well and enables us to track our customer details in a better way
The primary use was that we had implemented the identity management into our organizations which was necessary to handle our internal work, and also for our customer portal for a secure login process Has definitely improved our organization. After the implementation, we were able to track our…

Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Single sign-on and multi-factor authentication: We have implemented both on our customer and employee portal, and we can track our customer data in a much better way."
"LoginRadius is easy to use and implement, and our customers can access our multiple web apps and websites without logging into each property individually."
"ROI is definitely on the higher side, with correct customer details we can target and nurture our prospect efficiently."
"If they want to have a secure, stable solution for a single sign-on that supports Java, ASP .Net, and most of the web-based applications, I encourage them to go with this product."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"SSO is a very robust application."
"We're able to have one single centralized way of logging in when you have shared sessions across all applications."
"It provides single sign on for our company’s intranet, so when you log in, you don't need to enter your name and a password, providing simple, secure access to company intranet sites."
"It is one of the most stable products in the banking organization that I am in."
"We needed to implement secure access, CA is a leader in this area, so we went naturally with the best, and we also chose CA because of the way they interact with customers, pitch new features to us, ask us for feedback, and provide us with support."
"The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"They could remove the option from the dashboard in which we need to ask for the support team to enable few services."
"It’s really difficult to initially configure, but once you know where the traps are, it’s not a big deal."
"It seems that when there's a new version, patch, or service pack, we find bugs."
"It may be a good product, but I'd advise staying away from customizing it."
"Symantec Siteminder needs to have adaptive authentication and multi-factor authentication as integrated features."
"Unfortunately, SSO doesn't really allow us to do that. We have to basically do it through brute force."
"The policy store configuration, and tuning the policy store is a bit complex in ensuring it does not corrupt."
"I would like to see more usability; more customer usability."
"We go by agents for authentication; anything relating to agent configuration could be improved, or even agentless security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"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."
