FreeRADIUS vs. OpenText Access Manager

FreeRADIUS is completely scalable and supports both large and small user databases. Because it doesn't take up a lot of server resources, FreeRADIUS is well-suited for organizations with small budgets (it's in the name!) and limited networking hardware. While there is a port of it for Windows, FreeRADIUS is native to Linux so that would be a limitation for many companies who don't use it.

• An organization who needs a way of managing their entire user lifecycle.
• If an organization needed a solid Identity Management (IDM) solution that could do Single Sign-On (SS) and provisioning for services both internally and in the cloud.

• FreeRADIUS requires a 3rd party interface to make it easier to access (we use Daloradius) - it would nice if it was built in.
• Installation and configuration are pretty easy and straightforward but does require connecting to a database which can be cumbersome.

• The interface is a bit outdated.
• It would be nice to be able to customize the self-service portal more.
• It would be great if it integrated with more products.

• We previously used Microsoft Network Policy Server for our RADIUS authentication which works ok but was pretty clunky and requires Windows Server. Switching to FreeRADIUS brought our cost down to zero.
• Because FreeRADIUS works natively in Linux it's easy to setup and works with all distros.
• FreeRADIUS allows us to have user authentication for wifi which is much more secure than a simple shared password solution.

• ROI
• Self-Service
• Easy Install
