It enables the business to serve customers through multiple channels without asking the user to register multiple times. Agent configuration can be improved.

Useful for single sign-on and handles bulk traffic well

Pros

"A valuable feature of Siteminder is the way it handles bulk traffic. The features it has, in terms of routing the traffic and load balancing, are good. "

Cons

"An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release. "
