Both these web access management tools are great. However, from my point of view, IBM Tivoli Federated Identity manager is hard to use due to its complicated UI compared to Oracle Access Management.

It is really easy to have Oracle Access Manager implemented on a Unix based platform. The other integration/interfacing application were also Oracle products, hence the winner was oracle. We used it with Java based and Web aplications with API and have integrate a friendly …
We've yet to see how Oracle Access Management stacks up against other software, though in the near future it is part of the plan. We decided to give Oracle Access Management a shot because we heard great things about it. We often change passwords and have unique passwords for …

OAM is designed to be scalable, and it can handle large-scale deployments with thousands of users and applications. It provides a centralized framework for managing access to web applications and resources, enabling organizations to define and enforce security policies across their entire IT environment. OAM offers a range of authentication and authorization mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication and OAuth-based authentication, making it suitable for organizations that need to meet different security and compliance requirements.
We currently are working to set up Single Sign On and auto provisioning with a new vendor. Symantec SiteMinder visualizes things like SAML responses and assertion attributes within the console extremely clearly. This makes making adjustments on the Vendor's side or even working with Vendor support clear and effective. The only time I would avoid trying use Symantec SiteMinder as a local IDP would be when I am trying to minimize complexity or overhead troubleshooting needs.
Oracle Access Management allows superior session management capabilities. It can maintain and terminate session states using access engine and endpoint cookies or security tokens.
It allows for automated single sign-on as well as protocol translation.
The suite allows for real-time fraud detection and prevention capabilities. This is especially useful where our applications are accessed by tens of thousands of users simultaneously.
Usability with this and any Oracle product is a hit or miss. Over the years things are significantly better and I had users feeling better about training and usability. It shows Oracle have taken customer feedback and made the improvement. What is I would say however it requires a bit of training upfront.
6.5 Symantec SiteMinder's usability is high but the barrier to entry can be intimidating for an unfamiliar user. Symantec SiteMinder support can be difficult to get a hold of when needed leading to situations where you're not sure how to proceed. Overall, if you have experience with SSO, federations, SAML, and IDP's, then you will be fine

Oracle Access Management, in my view, is at a bigger scale as opposed to smaller customized able systems I have used before which generally has a few positives vs negatives based on how you look at it.
We use Microsoft Windows Azure AD which can act similarly in comparison to Symantec SiteMinder. While this experience is somewhat narrow, Symantec SiteMinder seems to have more flexability/customization and caters to the crown that prefers to automate and work with linux. I am less familiar with Azure's automated abilities, however, Symantec SiteMinder allows to automate various factors that already line up with our existing Linux environment and setup
