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.

Strong security measures and easy initial setup
I did reach out to WatchGuard for some features I'd like to see. I have a security license where AuthPoint could be used as a secondary authenticator for Office 365 users. It would be great to leverage AuthPoint for external authentication for Office 365, especially since some users prefer familiar tools, even with Microsoft's recent 2FA rollout. Additionally, I'm currently testing WatchGuard EDR, and I'd love to see full visibility into the cybersecurity status of assets, including vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"All of its features work well with the cloud authentication manager and the tokens — the authentication manager is good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."
"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Personal notifications are very easy to use."
"We use well-prepared templates to integrate AWS and Office 365 so it's very, very easy to implement for our needs."
"It can be implemented as an app on the phone, rather than with a hardware token."
"The integrations are good."
"The WatchGuard firewall includes many security features, such as UDP, block filters, web filtering, and GeoBlock."
"The approvals feature of this solution is very good; it is operated by just one button, and can be controlled from a mobile device if needed."
"The token-based two-factor verification (2FA) for user logins is valuable. It's the primary reason we use AuthPoint, and I find it very effective."
 

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."
"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."
"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
"I would really rate the technical support as 4 (in a scale of 1-10). My interaction with the technical support was never good."
"We would like the zero trust feature of this solution to be completed, with more details added and more laptop management capability."
"My only concern is the segmentation of services, which I understand is common in SaaS."
"Locking could be enhanced to be GDPR compliant."
"It has been really great. We don't have any complaints about it at all. We've only had one or two very minor glitches, and they were just in passing."
"The product must enable administrators to restrict the privileges of remote users."
"Documentation on cloud could be improved."
"The solution should implement a tagging process, which will provide an extra layer of security for the devices connected to the VPN."
"It's not so simple to configure."
 

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."
"We got the product at a low price."
"The pricing, I believe, is around $3 a user a year. It is quite reasonable."
