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.

Identity management enhances connectivity and productivity with streamlined access and robust security, offering time-saving processes and facilitating seamless integration with other BI tools

One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

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."

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

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

"It is easy to set up and reliable."

"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."

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

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

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

More RSA SecurID pros

"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."

"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications."

"The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

"There is definitely ROI because we use this as our enterprise-wide SSO solution."

"The setup process is straightforward."

"Automatic provisioning by designed workflows are valuable in any authorization audit."

Cons

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

"There are also some issues with the UI, the ACLs and performance - depending on the configuration and Identity DB size."

"The current functionality allows you only to change one user at a time. There is no option to maintain the business roles from the UI using standard validation or imports, so you have to build your business roles one by one."

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."

"As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."

"The standard one is not friendly and very time-consuming for elementary operation."

"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

More SAP Identity Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

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

"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."

"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
