Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very user-friendly. We're issuing YubiKeys for our corporate users and they just plug it in, go to the Axiad Cloud portal, and click the issue button. It's a couple of steps.""What I have found most valuable is the overall way Axiad listened to our problems and helped us solve them. They provided guidance and expertise, with their experience, that enabled us to be successful in a very challenging space.""The life cycle management of credentials is the aspect that we have found to be the most useful... The differentiator that Axiad provided was the ability to provide users a way to self-serve the updating of their credentials on their private keys. That was the feature we were most interested in and Axiad does an excellent job of it.""Aside from Active Directory, anything that is a multi-factor platform is handled through Axiad Cloud. It is critical for helping to enforce usage of authentication devices across our organization.""And when it comes to enrolling a user, it's super easy with One Click Issuance... It's so easy now that we can offload the process to our clients who can self-enroll. Previously, we would have to do the enrollment process because it was so complicated.""The solution has also saved us time by having end-users troubleshoot issues through the MyCircle feature, and has definitely reduced the efforts of our administrators. It is saving us five to 10 minutes per incident."

"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others.""It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems.""I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements.""This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes.""Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."

Cons
"We would prefer that the solution be hosted in Canada because we're a Canadian entity. That would be nice to have. It's not a feature, as such, but it would really make us a lot happier if it could be located in Canada.""With their licensing model, it becomes hard to scale. For example, we couldn't roll it out enterprise-wide because if you scale it across more than 100,000 users, the cost becomes too exorbitant.""I would like a more modern look to the portal.""I'm looking forward to seeing how they move to FIDO U2F as their primary authentication method across all of their solutions.""There are just some minor tweaks that could be made on the front end. It would be cool to have nicknames for authenticator devices. If you have more than one, it's hard to discern what you have.""macOS is notoriously ever-evolving and it's difficult to keep pace with it as it pertains to certain kinds of crypto authentication. That's really not even on Axiad. That's a decision by Apple, but it makes it a moving target."

More Axiad Cloud Cons →

"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved.""The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions.""I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing.""It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Axiad's pricing was what we were expecting. It was at the right spot. They were competitive."
  • "It's very cheap on a per-year basis. The cards themselves last about three years and the license is on the order of double-digit dollars per user, and not hundreds of dollars per user, per year."
  • "The pricing is very competitive for what is offered at the level that we need. They are right there with what the industry standards are. They tend to be a little bit less, in terms of cost, when we are talking about security at government standards. So, I would say that they have a slight advantage on cost compared to the industry average. They are the lower cost solution and the best bargain out on the market today."
  • "Don't just focus on the hardware or software costs of acquiring a solution, but look at it from the perspective that so much of what it takes to run a PKI environment has to do with the people who are running it.... look at the total cost of ownership and not just the cost of acquisition."

  • "I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
  • "The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
  • "It's worth the money."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Axiad Cloud is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has multi-factor authentication to help save companies time, it’s flexible, and easy to use.

    A Sr. Manager, Training Services at a transportation company, says what he finds most valuable about the solution is that “Users enroll themselves and re-enroll tokens when they expire, saving us time.

    Users also like that the solution helps eliminate the challenges of running and managing a PKI environment. “One of the things that we find the most valuable is not actually a feature, but it's the fact that we are not managing the environment ourselves. Because it is a managed solution in the cloud, it takes away a lot of the drudgery of having to run our own PKI environment,” mentions Tony V., Director of Information Technology Services at a government.

    Another PeerSpot user expresses how it’s improved work for his staff: “Our associates are very happy not to need their password for most situations anymore. "It's very user-friendly. We're issuing YubiKeys for our corporate users and they just plug it in, go to the Axiad Cloud portal, and click the issue button. It's a couple of steps,” says Dave P., Enterprise Security Architect at a retailer.

    Identity Enterprise is an integrated IAM platform that supports a full suite of workforce, consumer, and citizen use cases. Ideally suited for high-assurance applications that require a Zero Trust approach for thousands or millions of users, Identity Enterprise can be deployed on-premises.
