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

"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance.""The access certification feature is valuable.""IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security.""I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable.""Has a great certification module with intuitive options.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process.""Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use.""The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."

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.""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.""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."

More Axiad Cloud Cons →

"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support.""We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool.""Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap.""Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time.""They should lower the price and technical support should be better.""I would like to see more Cloud management from this product.""SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper.""If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."

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."

  • "SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
  • "They are expensive."
  • "The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
  • "The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
  • "It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
  • "You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."

    Overview

    Axiad Cloud delivers on the promise of organization-wide passwordless orchestration by supporting the widest range of credentials in the market, including FIDO, Windows Hello for Business, YubiKeys, smart cards, mobile MFA, TPM and biometrics, and more.  It also can be applied in heterogeneous IT environments – e.g., organizations operating Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems or with multiple existing IAM systems in place – allowing organizations to remove gaps and inconsistencies in how they authenticate across complex ecosystems, and ultimately to become more systematic in their overall cybersecurity practices.

    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.
