Avatier Identity Anywhere vs. Passly by ID Agent

Avatier is very well suited for large organizations that struggle with Service Desk getting swamped with password resets or unlocks. Giving end users the power to self service their issues is well worth the investment. In my environment, I even created Slackbot responses that triggered the Avatier site when a user said "reset password" or "locked out."

From my experience, Kaseya made a mistake with Passly. It does not work correctly. When it does work it is very delayed causing issues for logging into the system. When Kaseya was contacted they could not find users at all. When they finally found the users they could not edit it needing them to escalate to development to fix accounts.

• It allows users to reset their passwords on their own.
• It allows our users to request access to VPN and shared drive on their own.
• It allows us to terminate accounts quickly and easily.

• AuthAnvil is simple to use. Whether using an OTP code or push notifications, the application is user-friendly.
• AuthAnvil applications are easy for the end-user to install.
• AuthAnvil is readily available across multiple platforms (Windows, Android, iOS).

Incentivized

• Ability to create ad hoc reports in the app
• Use of biometrics is one that has been improved recently that was not great
• Managing connector settings in bulk can be tedious

Incentivized

• Web interfaces are relatively complex, not entirely ready for end-users
• Token transfers are slightly cumbersome (e.g. moving from hard to soft-token and vice-versa)
• It remains as a separate, local AD-driven solution, independent from external, rising auth platforms (e.g. Azure)

Simplicity of use combined with price and low system resources.

They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.

Avatier’ s modules were extremely easy to use and showed the immediate benefit that we would be able to use in our organization. Also the ability for our organization to implement true access governance vs. our homegrown solution will provide us with an exceptional opportunity to be able to keep our organization ever opportunity to stay secure

We have transitioned our Multi-Factor authentication processes to use either Authy, Duo, or Microsoft Authenticator, depending on the application use-case. We still have some clients using AuthAnvil, but it is no longer our preferred application for MFA. The other offerings in the market fulfill the same requirement with either lower or no additional cost and are easier to manage and more consistent in their performance.

• The main positive is the number of calls into our help desk or LAN team have gone down to a few calls a week; instead of the masses going to them on a daily basis.

• Using AuthAnvil to log into Kaseya VSA multiple times was definitely a loss in productivity.
• AuthAnvil did provide lots of security for our products because everyone would be deterred by AuthAnvil and Kaseya VSA's labyrinth-like log in process.
