Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has high support capability."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that they are open to connecting with any token. For example, a year ago, we were looking for a soft token, and we started to look for alternatives. They are open to connecting with any token that we looking for."
"It is an all-in-one solution for cybersecurity and is available at a very low price."
"The most valuable features are it is easy to use, manage, create a repository, and create the OM."
"The product is very stable and flexible. You can also integrate the solution with other products like mail solutions."
"Active Directory plays a focal point in security management, encompassing aspects like credential management, lifecycle, dynamic provisioning, and the network infrastructure of customers."
"Active Directory makes managing user policies easier, like when a user wants to share files. We also use it to create and manage our email accounts."
"I find the product makes it easier to enhance various tools with Microsoft Active Directory."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is user-friendly, and I like using Microsoft products. I think there is no other choice for Active Directory. Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory is the best."
 

Cons

"The user interface is not quite good and easy to use. There are a lot of menus, and the look and feel is not modern like a modern app."
"The tool needs to improve its cloud capability."
"I have encountered a few stability issues."
"The technical support team does not give prompt responses."
"The interface hasn't changed much over the years. It's suitable for my tastes, but that doesn't mean everybody likes it."
"Perhaps the synchronization could be simpler and more controllable. There are some features that need improvements in terms of ease of use and frequency of updates."

"Sometimes support takes long to engage and resolve, extending over weeks or even months."
"The solution could be made more safe by using authentication mechanisms."
"Could use more structure in the cloud version."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The license per user can probably be reduced."
