We have seen increased productivity now that users can self-serve their account recovery
We were looking for a way for users to self-serve and increase productivity. Before Axiad Cloud, every time a user was locked out they would have to call the help desk and wait for someone to call back and help them recover their accounts. Now users can do it themselves and cut down on the time they are down with an expired credential. That was the primary driver for why we looked at using this solution. The biggest benefit is that Axiad Cloud has increased the productivity of the business unit where it has been deployed. Before, we had anywhere between 10 and 15 percent of our users that were, at any given time, not able to sign into their systems because of expired credentials. With the introduction of the solution for that business unit, that number went down. That's a measurable advantage. Users also say it is much easier to use but that is not something that we can measure.

An open-source solution that helps in IAM
Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation. Users are granted access based on predefined roles associated with their positions, organizational hierarchy, or job titles. Instead of direct assignments, users automatically receive roles upon entering the company, aligning with their assignments. The core feature of EVOLVEUM midPoint that I find most valuable is provisioning. Users, including myself, can submit requests that need designated individuals' approval. Additionally, the recertification feature is crucial for regularly reviewing and confirming the appropriateness of user access rights. I find recertifications valuable because they align with clear regulatory requirements for companies to perform them at least once yearly. Using the product, I can initiate a recertification campaign by selecting users and the applications to be recertified. I define the individuals responsible for approving or rejecting access. The goal is to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The tool's flexibility in handling identity types and tickets has brought notable benefits. It provides full flexibility to extend attributes or the schema for users and organizations. Its audit and reporting capabilities have significantly enhanced our customer's compliance and security posture. Management's regular need for reports, such as the number of users in the application and identifying users with critical access, is addressed. The solution allows easy configuration of reports directly from the front end. Additionally, the ability to schedule and automate report execution, followed by automatic distribution to support or responsible personnel, streamlines the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"With the solution we have been able to give our users, I see a lot of happy users, and our adoption is such that I don't see users trying to circumvent our processes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They have honestly been one of the best vendors we've worked with, we've had a great experience with them so far, and they've really exceeded expectations."
"When we rolled this out six or six and a half years ago, it was applauded by the users because it drastically reduced authentication time."
"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."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
"Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation."
"Because the product is automating processes, if somebody joins the company, based on his or her role within the company he or she gets proper rights and accesses to the target systems."
"I like that it's open-source, and it's working. It has nice features, and it looks like it's easy to maintain."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We would prefer that the solution be hosted in Canada because we're a Canadian entity."
"There are just some minor tweaks that could be made on the front end."
"The only con is that they are a small, but growing, organization."
"I would like a more modern look to the portal."
"One area where I see room for improvement in EVOLVEUM midPoint is enhancing the user interface for configuration. Currently, a significant portion of the configuration involves technical, XML-based settings requiring a higher level of technical expertise."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions—for example, the legal stuff and GDPR, and so on. But I think they are currently working on it."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions related the data provenance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Axiad's pricing was what we were expecting. It was at the right spot. They were competitive."
"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."
"We're EVOLVEUM partners, and I tried it without a license."
"The product is free to use, but a cost is associated if you opt for official product support. Additionally, there is an option for a platform subscription, which entails professional services provided by the vendor."
"Licensing is defined by the number of users."
