Managing Director at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

OpenIAM provides an Identity and Access Management platform which includes identity and access management (i.e., SSO, Multi-factor Authentication, password synchronization, and RBAC). Below are the features : Lower Cost of Implementation & Total Cost of Ownership: * OpenIAM uses tools, such as Groovy script to implement business rules, Grails to create new UI functionality, Activiti for workflow, PowerShell, etc. It also support web services. So it is important to find skilled technical resources readily and at reasonable cost in comparison to the large vendors, which use proprietary tools for developing custom connector or product customization as per business requirement. * OpenIAM is also based on Open Source technologies (i.e., JBoss, Apache, MySQL, CentOS), so Total Cost of Ownership is very low in comparison to other IAM products. * Compliance with standards simplifies integration. * Subscription-based license model. Ease of Use: OpenIAM offers a single unified Admin console and a single unified self-service portal for customers to use and manage the IAM suite (i.e. Identity Management, Access Management, and Multi-Factor Authentication). Modern Architecture: * Built from the ground up, not through acquisitions and proprietary technology. * SOA architecture * Cloud-enabled Enterprise Grade Product: Even though OpenIAM is based on Open Source technologies, it is: * Built on industry standards * Simplified integration * Uses established industry frameworks
