Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to use.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""Cloud-based service and management.""The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."

Cons
"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""Geofencing needs improvement.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them."

"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home.""I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."

  • "There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."

    Overview

    Symantec VIP Access Manager is the next generation control platform that integrates Single Sign-On (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management. It offers users and administrators control, convenience, and compliance for public and private cloud- based applications. Symantec VIP Access Manager solves cloud security problems using identity and/or context-based access control across multiple cloud applications. In the cloud, where a traditional enterprise perimeter doesn't exist, this solution fills the gap. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, administrators can define policies that utilize the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to enforce security and compliance for applications without getting in the way of productivity. Symantec VIP Access Manager can also protect and consolidate access management for on-premise web applications. It also simplifies compliance auditing for cloud applications by consolidating logs across all applications it protects.

    Two Factor Authentication & Access Management for Windows Active Directory.

    UserLock helps administrators to manage and secure access for every user, without obstructing employees or frustrating IT.

    Two Factor Authentication on Windows logon, RDP, IIS and VPN connections. UserLock supports 2FA using authenticator applications which include Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator and LastPass Authenticator, or programmable hardware tokens such as YubiKey and Token2.

    Single Sign-On: Secure and frictionless access to Microsoft 365 and other Cloud Applications, using on-premise Active Directory credentials.

    Access Restrictions: Using the contextual information around a user’s logon, UserLock will authorize, deny or limit how a user can access the network, once authenticated.

    Access Monitoring: Track and alert on all users’ logon and logoff activity in real-time. Interact remotely with any session and respond to login behavior. 

    Access Auditing: Record and report on all user connection events to provide a central audit across the whole network.
