Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"It offers good Microsoft integration capabilities."
"The way the laptops are joined is valuable. We can take advantage of that in terms of being able to log in and do things. It is easier to change passwords or set things up."
"The most beneficial feature would be the effectiveness of having a hybrid set-up."
"We have not had any formal issues with scalability."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that is easy to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are security and integration with other tenants."
"I would say that Azure AD's pricing is very reasonable because of the structure and in terms of the solution."
"Risk Engine’s risk score, eFN, GeoIP, and device binding all coming together in the Policy Rules to decide when to escalate to MFA."
"Our customer are seeing value from the product, as they experience cost reductions. They can stop fraud from their customers, then their customers can have a better experience from their services."
"The capability to manage your business policy related to security when required without vendor involvement."
"Ingestion of logs and raising alert space on those logs are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the stock tokens. That works the best for us."
"The technical support can be confusing - if you're looking for something very specific, it can be hard to get the right answer or a solution."
"The only issue is the OU is not properly synced. Therefore, you have to do a manual sync sometimes or you might lose the connector due to AD Connect or sync servers."
"The licensing and support are expensive and have room for improvement."
"The role-based access control can be improved. Normally, the role-based access control has different privileges. Each role, such as administrator or user, has different privileges, and the setup rules for them should be defined automatically rather than doing it manually."
"Some systems do not integrate very well with Azure AD. We thought of going for Okta, but later on we were able to achieve it, but not the way we wanted. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The integration was not very seamless."
"You can manage the users from the Office 365 administration center, and you can manage them from Azure Active Directory. Those are two different environments, but they do the same things. They can gather the features in one place, and it might be better if that place were Azure."
"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."
"It would be an improvement if Authenticator made it easier to recover the app if you reboot your cellphone and lose access."
"Better filters when searching for events. The current features for current filters when searching fraud events are not very comprehensive. You can only filter by certain fields in the transaction."
"I would like to see a more adaptive type of solution, something that we could use on our web pages..."
"Reporting modules is one of the major areas that can be improved further."
"RSA Adaptive Authentication lacks a mechanism to verify the identity of a new user in the Enrollment event workflow."
"It has taken years to implement."
"The product is basically unusable. We need better ease of use; it's overly complicated."
