Broadcom uses OKTA and CA will be migrating to OKTA as part of the IT transition. Good luck explaining that to customers.

Not hard to explain if Tan buys Okta, especially when OKTA stock is ripe for a buyout right now and CA needs a new SSO product to convert legacy Siteminder customers to... Touche!
no i don't agree.. customers don't buy software because it has patents. clear you have no idea what all these products do, the integrations and the large companies that have them integrated.
Killing/selling off most of the products you mention would be s---c-de for broadcoms relationship with the top 200-300 clients that use them. payment security? yes probably gone. Nova project failed years ago; not even relevant to this conversation. Good chance PAM/AA/SSO/IDM are safe thanks to the integrations into many of the large clients octane wants to focus on.
But will u agree customer buy sso only because it has some patent and other company cant implement that. For the same reason large bank
Uses that, once it is with broadcom they can implementatie it their solution.
Except patent sso is not so great product
Even if BRCM started to implement SiteMinder today, it would take them 14 months to get it into production. That is why the SiteMinder customer base is fleeing to other solutions - and has been for years.
Octane wants to save money... what about if he goes the other way? We know he doesn't like to sell cloud solutions, he must not like to pay for them either. And if he's got SSO in his pocket... hmmm?
CA used ADFS for most of their federation to Office 365, since they couldn't get SiteMinder to work. Also they used Authy for MFA since CA MFA was to hard to setup.
