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

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."

"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."

"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."

"It is a very stable solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."

"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."

"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."

"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."

"It is a scalable solution."

"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."

"In house applications access via weblink can be locked down to specific groups or criteria."

More RSA SecurID pros

Cons

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."

"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."

"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."

"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."

"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."

"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."

"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."

"I would really rate the technical support as 4 (in a scale of 1-10). My interaction with the technical support was never good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

"The product is costly."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"The tool is quite affordable."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

Overview

IDENTITY DEFINED SECURITY PLATFORM delivers a unified, standards-based platform that can be deployed as SaaS, software or both and can scale to handle millions of identities. From multi-factor authentication and single sign-on to access security, directory and data governance, our capabilities work together to give employees, partners and customers secure access to cloud, mobile and enterprise applications, securing and streamlined everything from sign-on to sign-off and everywhere in between.

Ping Identity

The RSA SecurID Suite combines the separate disciplines of access management and authentication with identity governance and user lifecycle management into one comprehensive suite. It goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional identity and access management systems by using risk analytics to provide identity and access assurance. This helps organizations solve two fundamental challenges:

Verifying that their users are who they say they are.
Providing their users with the right level of access.
