DevOps Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

Gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system

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. For security certifications, we need to make sure we can restore all of our products and data in minimal time. We are backing up the data using the API but it will be better to export everything to an external file so in case of a disaster or mistake from our side, we can have the option to reload all the users and assign them to the relevant tenant as fast as possible

Presales Consultant at Cyberwise

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users

To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."

"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."

"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."

"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."

"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."

"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."

More Frontegg pros

"It is a fast and easy solution for end users, and you are always online."

"It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward."

"VIP is a strong, cloud-based authentication service that enables organizations to secure access to networks and applications to prevent unauthorized logins to company resources, even when passwords have been compromised or shared."

Cons

"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."

"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."

"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."

"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."

"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."

"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it."

More Frontegg cons

"In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access."

"If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them."

"The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."

"At times, the relay server could not contact Symantec; it would fail open and allow access without a passcode."

"The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."

"Geofencing needs improvement."

"Our only issue was with user training. The additional challenge was not well received."

"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
