Santhosh Rajamanickam - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Provides authentication with simple deployment and tutorials
We use the solution for MFA.  Integration with mobile application is working fine. It's so simple to configure. We have integration with the WatchGuard firewall. I have been using WatchGuard AuthPoint for two years. I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten. 50 users are using this…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 can be implemented as an app on the phone, rather than with a hardware token."
"The integrations are good."
"The token-based two-factor verification (2FA) for user logins is valuable. It's the primary reason we use AuthPoint, and I find it very effective."
"Personal notifications are very easy to use."
"The WatchGuard firewall includes many security features, such as UDP, block filters, web filtering, and GeoBlock."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The approvals feature of this solution is very good; it is operated by just one button, and can be controlled from a mobile device if needed."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"My only concern is the segmentation of services, which I understand is common in SaaS."
"It has been really great. We don't have any complaints about it at all. We've only had one or two very minor glitches, and they were just in passing."
"It's not so simple to configure."
"The product must enable administrators to restrict the privileges of remote users."
"The solution should implement a tagging process, which will provide an extra layer of security for the devices connected to the VPN."
"We would like the zero trust feature of this solution to be completed, with more details added and more laptop management capability."
"Locking could be enhanced to be GDPR compliant."
 

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."
"The pricing, I believe, is around $3 a user a year. It is quite reasonable."
"We got the product at a low price."
