SecureAuth IdP vs. SecurID

SecureAuth is a good solution for companies looking for an in-house solution that can be managed by your internal technical resources. It is a good solution for new companies that are looking for a more secure authentication application to deploy to their staff

Works well in a large organization with many employees and devices but may not work so well in smaller organizations due to alternatives that are cheaper and are already provided (such as Microsoft's Azure MFA). Using the soft token is easy and convenient. For a large environment, It has allowed us to have a single app used for authentication for all of our various users, and using the soft token is easy and convenient.

Incentivized

• Security token for Microsoft authentication.
• Single sign on enabled for our organization.
• Simplifies the log in for our employees.

Incentivized

• RSA SecurID allows me to access network files from remote locations (hotels, other businesses, working from home). This allows me greater productivity and helps me with a work-life balance as I can work later at night or not get so backed up when I'm traveling.
• RSA SecurID keeps information secure by limiting access to network files
• RSA SecurID is easy to use with a soft token - one less item to carry around in my travel bag

Incentivized

• We had some difficulty enabling SecureAuth as our only authentication tool.
• The offline authentication feature was troublesome at times.
• Enrollment was a little cumbersome for some employees.

Incentivized

• The Android application cannot be easily returned to the original code (if you chose to move to the next code).
• If misconfigured, it can lock an administrator out of a server.
• The look and feel of the RSA control center status bar application have a dated feel.

Long story short, does the job. Can use company credentials to setup and access the account for SecurID. Easy to setup and implement. Doesn't have a high learning curve.

Incentivized

Using it very frequently, it's important that its straight forward and I do not have to go through unnecessary hoops to achieve something seemingly simple. Can setup using the company credentials and do not have to setup up a separate account. Setup was fast and easy. GUI is very straight forward and quick.

Their support for onboarding and set-up is quite good. The only issues we tend to have are obtaining new user devices. These need to be planned ahead of time.

Incentivized

SecureAuth was reasonable solution that enables our organization to securely manage our single sign-on and multi-factor authentication controls by our technology department. The product was easy to install and maintain, and provided our employees a layer of security that was on par with other industry leading solutions

Incentivized

RSA SecureID is still widely deployed and the de facto industry standard for 2nd factor authentication. Microsoft Azure offers alternative 2nd factor auth but the price was too high. We are still testing Citrix NetScaler offering with CloudBridge for 2nd factor auth and SMS code to user mobile device so it is yet to be seen as a viable alternative to RSA.

Incentivized

• Flexible terms allowed us to leverage SecureAuth over multiple years.
• SecureAuth allowed us to get into this area of security at a reasonable price point.
• SecureAuth was able to scale as our company grew at a reasonable cost.

Incentivized

• We are pleased with our implementation of RSA Authentication Manager. The deployment process went smooth without many issues.
• Administration and troubleshooting are very easy using the GUI console.
• There is enough good quality documentation, training, and online forums are available for our team to refer to in case of any technical issues.
