Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management
WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The feature that I found most valuable was the ecosystem, which is very comprehensive and allowed me to find the components that I wanted to use, including the identity server and the API."
"I use this solution to generate keystores and certifications and link these with project development in our company."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"We are able to use this tool to better secure next generation data centers, which use software defined networks."
 

Cons

"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"I tried the product but I found it very cumbersome, so I no longer use it."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
