Enhanced security, reliable, helpful technical support, and easy to install

RSA SecurID Access is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability of RSA SecurID Access a nine out of ten. Initially, our organization had around 250 users for whom we were aware of the usage of the solution. However, there were certain users for whom we were not notified due to the nature of their job, and hence we were not aware of their usage. Eventually, we decided to scale the solution for all our 4,000 users. Currently, we are using it for 250 users only. There is a high likelihood that we will expand our usage in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"The main reason why we use this product is to make sure that we can use our corporate account to log on to applications in the cloud, and from that perspective, it helps us in our account life-cycle management because if somebody is leaving the company, that account will be automatically deleted, which saves time."

"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."

"It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."

"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."

"It is easy to set up and reliable."

"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."

"It is a scalable solution."

"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."

"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."

"In house applications access via weblink can be locked down to specific groups or criteria."

More RSA SecurID pros

Cons

"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."

"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"We had issues with the stability."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."

"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."

"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."

"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."

"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."

"I would really rate the technical support as 4 (in a scale of 1-10). My interaction with the technical support was never good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."

"The tool is quite affordable."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

"The product is costly."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

Overview

IDENTITY DEFINED SECURITY PLATFORM delivers a unified, standards-based platform that can be deployed as SaaS, software or both and can scale to handle millions of identities. From multi-factor authentication and single sign-on to access security, directory and data governance, our capabilities work together to give employees, partners and customers secure access to cloud, mobile and enterprise applications, securing and streamlined everything from sign-on to sign-off and everywhere in between.

Ping Identity

The RSA SecurID Suite combines the separate disciplines of access management and authentication with identity governance and user lifecycle management into one comprehensive suite. It goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional identity and access management systems by using risk analytics to provide identity and access assurance. This helps organizations solve two fundamental challenges:

Verifying that their users are who they say they are.
Providing their users with the right level of access.
