"Is ACF2 past or present?"
3/5
What do you like best about CA ACF2?

Effective for overall security provisioning for resources, users for any M/F environment. Some gr8 automation features for simplification of tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CA ACF2?

I'm not certain it's kept up with the times, especially in the current climate. It has been a little while since I've last used it, but the use of 'pseudo' logins has always been a concern for me. Another concern is the special privileges to a select few, to execute specific tasks without any centralized control....In the current climate, this needs to be managed a lot better. Integration with tools (like external browsers) for better control and management needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
