Entrust GetAccess vs Symantec Siteminder comparison

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

"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."

"It is pretty easy to learn."

"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."

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

"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."

"IWA is an out-of-the-box feature. The SAML-based federation is standard for all tools. However, CA Single Sign-On has made the federation configuration way too simple and handy to set up and use."

"Symantec Siteminder has simplified user access for our customers from user login to their web applications."

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

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

"I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product."

"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."

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

"We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."

"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."

"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."

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

"The technical support could be better."

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

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

"The solution's pricing is competitive."

"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 licensing is fair for this solution."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."
