Passwordless login has transformed daily accounting work and now saves hours on support calls
The cloud-based feature of 1Kosmos BlockID stands out because when working on SAP, it often went down due to memory size, but since 1Kosmos BlockID is cloud-based, downtime is not experienced. The second standout feature is the login ID and password recognition; it allows the right person to log in without manual entry of usernames and passwords, making 1Kosmos BlockID very helpful in any situation. 1Kosmos BlockID offers passwordless authentication that eliminates 2FA. It operates through biometric authentications, such as facial recognition and thumb impressions, which are compliant security keys for enterprise applications. Identity verification is another strong feature; if 1Kosmos BlockID recognizes a user, it ensures that the right person is logging in. It uses AI and machine learning to scan government-issued IDs, licenses, and passports, matching them with user biometrics for 100% accuracy. The digital wallet feature also stores user identity information in a private or permissioned blockchain, allowing users to control their personal data. It meets high assurance standards, including NIST 800-63-3 and GDPR, and supports both app-based and browser-based user journeys for onboarding and authentication. 1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted the organization by enhancing security through eliminating usernames and passwords and storing encrypted user data in a private permissioned blockchain, which drastically reduces the risk of data breaches and phishing. Furthermore, it has improved operational efficiency by streamlining the user experience, reducing help desk calls for password resets and simplifying identity management, thus increasing overall productivity. In terms of time savings, for a team of 15 people, a monthly saving of around eight to ten hours has been observed after using 1Kosmos BlockID. Before its implementation, the IT help desk faced 300 to 500 calls a month. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, that number reduced to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, significantly alleviating common password-related issues.

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

"My advice to others looking into using 1Kosmos BlockID is that it is a wonderful product for passwordless authentication."
"1Kosmos BlockID has improved my organization's identity verification process by making authentication faster, more secure, and easier to manage."
"It impacted us in a very positive way because everyone integrated with this and we are saving a lot of time."
"In my experience with 1Kosmos BlockID, the system was very accurate, with facial recognition working correctly approximately 99% of the time, and the platform is very user-friendly."
"I would highly recommend using 1Kosmos BlockID because I came to know that purchasing the license is lesser when compared to Microsoft or Okta."
"1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted my organization by making our workflow easier because it does not have long procedures and manual paperwork; it is more digital and faster."
"We have seen password-related help desk tickets drop by roughly 40%, and employees now spend noticeably less time dealing with login and account recovery issues."
"1Kosmos BlockID has provided a return on investment by significantly reducing the need for IT personnel, with the reduced ticket volume from 300 to 500 to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, so only two IT staff members are now required, saving costs equivalent to around 80 lakhs per year."
"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."
"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."
"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."
"In house applications access via weblink can be locked down to specific groups or criteria."
 

Cons

"The only thing is that the OTP is available for only 30 seconds before it disappears and a new OTP comes up."
"I choose 9 out of 10 because there are one or two improvements needed."
"There were issues with multifactor authentication where the ID or the app was not able to let me in."
"The platform could be improved with more customization options for reporting and a simpler initial setup process for administrators."
"1Kosmos BlockID could be improved with a more intuitive admin interface, simpler initial deployment, enhanced reporting, and broader out-of-the-box integrations with third-party applications."
"It could be improved because sometimes when I'm trying to authenticate that application using 1Kosmos BlockID, it gives the error of connection timeout or something and we need to try it later."
"My experience with 1Kosmos BlockID in terms of pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it could be cheaper; it is somewhat expensive, but I believe it could be more affordable."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."
"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."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."
"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."
