We have seen increased productivity now that users can self-serve their account recovery
We were looking for a way for users to self-serve and increase productivity. Before Axiad Cloud, every time a user was locked out they would have to call the help desk and wait for someone to call back and help them recover their accounts. Now users can do it themselves and cut down on the time they are down with an expired credential. That was the primary driver for why we looked at using this solution. The biggest benefit is that Axiad Cloud has increased the productivity of the business unit where it has been deployed. Before, we had anywhere between 10 and 15 percent of our users that were, at any given time, not able to sign into their systems because of expired credentials. With the introduction of the solution for that business unit, that number went down. That's a measurable advantage. Users also say it is much easier to use but that is not something that we can measure.

Multi-factor protection has strengthened data privacy and secures daily cloud collaboration
In my opinion, the best feature Google Authenticator offers is that it makes your time more secure and your data more secure. The feature is good. The security features of Google Authenticator have helped me greatly because when you do not activate this, you only have one protection with any Google account requiring OTP. Google Authenticator employs two-factor authentication, making you more secure than with just a single layer. This helps me sync and access GitHub, Microsoft, and any accounts using Google's authentication. Regarding the features of Google Authenticator, I find it very easy and free, and there is no need for an internet connection when I generate the code. It is simple for me to implement, standard for TOTP, and compatible with many services. Primarily, it can reduce password leak issues significantly. Google Authenticator has positively impacted my organization by improving security and productivity. Regarding how security and productivity have improved, my team collaborates in the cloud and needs to spend time working there securely. With the feature in Google Cloud, Google Authenticator makes their lives easier. They do not need to be experts to use it. Many applications can be connected, which is excellent, and the primary security with two layers is very effective.
