Early testing has provided real-time security insights but still needs stronger AI analytics

Adaptive Data Security Platform is rated seven out of ten. A seven rating was chosen for Adaptive Data Security Platform because it seems promising for the use cases, but it has not been used enough to know all the features. The advice to others looking into using Adaptive Data Security Platform is to test it out in a sandbox to make sure it meets their use case. The company does not have a business relationship with the vendor of Adaptive Data Security Platform other than being a customer. An incentive was offered for this review of Adaptive Data Security Platform. There are no additional thoughts about Adaptive Data Security Platform at this time.

Custom authentication has enabled secure multi-factor logins and unified access across apps

The features or capabilities of Amazon Cognito that I have found the most valuable so far include its seamless operation and the requirement of fewer integrations from the client side. All the features are there, enabling us to create the users, manage the groups, and manage access. Mostly, the access management is very good in Amazon Cognito, I would say. The benefits and positive impacts that Amazon Cognito has had in my experience include the fact that earlier we needed to implement so many things on behalf of the product itself. Now, the go-to-market strategy requires less than a week to complete integrations of the user flow, specifically mentioning that a basic authentication flow could be completed in a week itself. We don't have to care about how we manage the passwords, how we manage groups, and how we manage access management because all those things are there. It's handy, the documentation is very good, and it is easy to integrate. That's the reason I would say that the impact AWS is building on the product is great.

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

Pros

"The best features Adaptive Data Security Platform offers include real-time monitoring and AI-driven capabilities, which stand out."

"What I find most valuable about Amazon Cognito is the single sign-on feature that provides a token for accessing protected APIs."

"The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are the pre and post-token generation, and the different Cognito triggers. It has lots of functionality and flexibility."

"What is quite valuable is that we can outsource storage of the credentials to AWS, and they manage it quite securely."

"I rate Amazon Cognito nine out of ten."

"The federation is one of the most efficient features as the pricing is competitive."

"I appreciate Amazon Cognito's ability to scale with demand and its seamless user verification features."

Cons

"A return on investment has not yet been seen with Adaptive Data Security Platform because it is unclear if it will even be used; it is still a very early phase."

"Amazon Cognito could improve by simplifying the configuration."

"Amazon Cognito could be improved by making it easier for us to add more data to the token, allowing customization of JWT."

"Amazon Cognito could be improved by making it easier for us to add more data to the token, allowing customization of JWT. It requires a complex program to customize the token currently, however, the UI could support this configuration better."

"What I found generally lacking in AWS is privileged access management (PAM)."

"The ease and simplicity of integration could be improved when using this solution. When using Okta, scope is a single endpoint with a parameter as a scope. In the Cognito for each scope, there is a separate endpoint."

"I believe this product could improve by enriching user profiles."

"The ease and simplicity of integration could be improved when using this solution. When using Okta, scope is a single endpoint with a parameter as a scope, but in Cognito, for each scope, there is a separate endpoint."

"In a future release, we would like to have different methods to validate the characteristic of a user. For example, we would like to use biometric data to analyze the behavior of users."
