Google Cloud Identity Reviews

We work for all sorts of verticals, including NBFC, manufacturing, and IT companies.

First and foremost, Google Cloud Identity does not require maintaining any server or on-premises infrastructure. It is straightforward to implement as it provides zero trust policy and context-aware access with conditional-based access. You can define policies for users who may be available in any part of the world. Users need only a single identity to access their machines and applications.

From a management standpoint, it is easy to use. We do not need to maintain multiple admin panels or multiple consoles to manage user applications. Everything can be done from one console. If you delete one identity, it gets deleted from everywhere. It is a uniform and unified way to maintain and manage things easily from both end-user and admin portal perspectives.

The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access. Previously, 7 to 10 years ago, people used to set up policies on the network level. If you were in the network, you could access the application or needed VPN access. With context-aware access, it provides the flexibility to set up anything at the application level rather than the network level, reducing network dependency.

The integration of multi-factor authentication features is always a priority for customers because username and password alone are not enough from a security standpoint. Multi-factor authentication is required for all applications connected with identities, and it functions very effectively.

The single sign-on feature provides seamless integration. For SAML-based applications, you can integrate applications within three steps. In Active Directory or the Microsoft environment, you need specific integration knowledge. If you know how to manage identity in Google, it is easy to set up the integration and complete the implementation.

When you try to access any application, the system needs to verify it is you. Normally, for traditional security, you just need to enter your username and password. 

However, with Google Cloud Identity, you can have multilayer security, such as two-step verification or multi-factor authentication. This includes receiving codes via SMS, voice calls, or using Google Authenticator. 

My company sells this product as part of our IT consultancy, and we use it as a system reseller and Google partner.

Google Cloud Identity helps improve our organization's security by providing an additional layer of security, such as multi-factor authentication. This ensures that our data is protected even when accessed remotely, which is crucial for hybrid or work-from-home arrangements. 

Additionally, it has helped in reducing operational costs and response times for security incidents, making our security measures more efficient.

At the moment, my company uses Google Cloud Identity for some of our internally authenticated users for internal application development and custom development. My company uses Google Cloud Identity in conjunction with a product called IAP, which is BeyondCorp Enterprise's authenticated proxy solution.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the IAP part, which is unique. The tool offers a free tier version for 100 users, for which I get an ID similar to a Microsoft ID, which is quite handy. In general, it's a fairly basic product.

We use Google Cloud Identity for user management and administration.

The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability. The solution's multi-factor authentication (MFA) capability is good.

I use the solution for dealing with Google Cloud Platform. When I use the solution for customers dealing with the Google Cloud Platform, they do not need to use Workspace. They just use Google Cloud Identity.

The solution is the best part of the Google ecosystem because it's familiar. When we go to change the allegation session, there's no problem.

The solution is user-friendly. Anyone can use it. Google has clear documents for most of its features.

We cannot manage the attributes of SSPR. Microsoft has such provisions. The product does not have the dynamic groups feature provided by Microsoft. Equal to and not equal to are the only two contents in Google. Features like user life cycle governance and lifecycle management provided by Microsoft are not available in Google.

The sole use case is to achieve a unified account experience across various platforms, specifically with Google Cloud Identity.

It's a data field list aiding in the onboarding and offboarding process. It enables centralized security control for the account, eliminating the need to manage it across multiple platforms.
