Passwordless login has transformed daily accounting work and now saves hours on support calls
The cloud-based feature of 1Kosmos BlockID stands out because when working on SAP, it often went down due to memory size, but since 1Kosmos BlockID is cloud-based, downtime is not experienced. The second standout feature is the login ID and password recognition; it allows the right person to log in without manual entry of usernames and passwords, making 1Kosmos BlockID very helpful in any situation. 1Kosmos BlockID offers passwordless authentication that eliminates 2FA. It operates through biometric authentications, such as facial recognition and thumb impressions, which are compliant security keys for enterprise applications. Identity verification is another strong feature; if 1Kosmos BlockID recognizes a user, it ensures that the right person is logging in. It uses AI and machine learning to scan government-issued IDs, licenses, and passports, matching them with user biometrics for 100% accuracy. The digital wallet feature also stores user identity information in a private or permissioned blockchain, allowing users to control their personal data. It meets high assurance standards, including NIST 800-63-3 and GDPR, and supports both app-based and browser-based user journeys for onboarding and authentication. 1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted the organization by enhancing security through eliminating usernames and passwords and storing encrypted user data in a private permissioned blockchain, which drastically reduces the risk of data breaches and phishing. Furthermore, it has improved operational efficiency by streamlining the user experience, reducing help desk calls for password resets and simplifying identity management, thus increasing overall productivity. In terms of time savings, for a team of 15 people, a monthly saving of around eight to ten hours has been observed after using 1Kosmos BlockID. Before its implementation, the IT help desk faced 300 to 500 calls a month. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, that number reduced to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, significantly alleviating common password-related issues.

Great granularity for roles and permissions and is multi-tenant by design
Today the features we’re using the most include the registration page, user and tenants management (including storing custom data on the tenant level to use as “feature flags”), and the admin portal. I like the admin portal since it allows us a full-stack solution for user management. The frontend side is a major benefit that I am happy I can give my customers from day one, without compromising. It helps us grow fast and focus our dev team on the core product while providing important user infrastructure to our customers. Another important benefit we discovered is the ease of integration. The integration with Frontegg is almost immediate, and the support is great. If you’re thinking of developing it on your own, don’t.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"1Kosmos BlockID has provided a return on investment by significantly reducing the need for IT personnel, with the reduced ticket volume from 300 to 500 to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, so only two IT staff members are now required, saving costs equivalent to around 80 lakhs per year."
"It impacted us in a very positive way because everyone integrated with this and we are saving a lot of time."
"1Kosmos BlockID has improved my organization's identity verification process by making authentication faster, more secure, and easier to manage."
"In my experience with 1Kosmos BlockID, the system was very accurate, with facial recognition working correctly approximately 99% of the time, and the platform is very user-friendly."
"My advice to others looking into using 1Kosmos BlockID is that it is a wonderful product for passwordless authentication."
"I would highly recommend using 1Kosmos BlockID because I came to know that purchasing the license is lesser when compared to Microsoft or Okta."
"We have seen password-related help desk tickets drop by roughly 40%, and employees now spend noticeably less time dealing with login and account recovery issues."
"1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted my organization by making our workflow easier because it does not have long procedures and manual paperwork; it is more digital and faster."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."
"In addition, I was most impressed with Frontegg's quick turnaround to fix bugs and implement feature improvements."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"SaaS companies like ours can just focus on what matters and not spend time on building SaaS essentials such as audit logs, SSO etc."
"It has Audit Log and many cool features that if we were to develop them by ourselves, it would require a lot of research and development resources. Frontegg gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system in which they can also manage some of the features and roles by themself which gives them more control over their environment."
"The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."
"Frontegg's solution fits us very well, as it removes the extra work of developing, maintaining, storing, and securing all of the user-management platforms."
 

Cons

"It could be improved because sometimes when I'm trying to authenticate that application using 1Kosmos BlockID, it gives the error of connection timeout or something and we need to try it later."
"My experience with 1Kosmos BlockID in terms of pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it could be cheaper; it is somewhat expensive, but I believe it could be more affordable."
"There were issues with multifactor authentication where the ID or the app was not able to let me in."
"The platform could be improved with more customization options for reporting and a simpler initial setup process for administrators."
"1Kosmos BlockID could be improved with a more intuitive admin interface, simpler initial deployment, enhanced reporting, and broader out-of-the-box integrations with third-party applications."
"I choose 9 out of 10 because there are one or two improvements needed."
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file."
"The PHP SDK is limited."
"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
