Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites.""SAML 2.0.""The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for.""The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy.""OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pros →

"They have good push authentications.""Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD.""It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all.""The product is easy to use.""The solution can scale very well.""We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days.""The product requires very little maintenance.""A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."

More Okta Workforce Identity Pros →

"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application.""The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO.""You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it.""The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."

More Tools4ever HelloID Pros →

Cons
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs.""The self-service portal needs improvement.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available.""Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"The error logging could be improved. Okta doesn't provide enough details when you are troubleshooting an issue. It's often difficult to fix it from our end, so we always need additional support from Okta.""It can have more API integrations.""Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler.""We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved.""The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing.""Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow.""On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user.""We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."

More Okta Workforce Identity Cons →

"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved.""Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice.""When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.""Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
  • More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
  • "License is around US$20,000 annually."
  • "I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
  • "It is costly for large companies."
  • "The price of this product could be lower."
  • "It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."

  • "In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
  • "Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."

    HelloID makes accessing applications easy by seamlessly integrating into an organization's portal where users already go for other information. It can also be offered through a familiar URL if a portal interface is not desired. By integrating HelloID into an existing portal, organizations make it simple for users to quickly find and access all the applications they need from a single dashboard. Once logged into the portal, the user sees an overview of the available cloud applications (e.g. Google Apps, Salesforce, Office 365, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and simply clicks on that application's icon.
