Tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks
The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

Has an efficient risk-based authentication feature and an easy deployment process
RSA Authentication Manager is a robust solution that provides comprehensive protection for both on-premise and cloud-based applications. It is well-suited for enterprises seeking extensive protection across various environments. The hardware token feature stands out as particularly effective. It is straightforward and user-friendly, making it ideal for non-technical users, including older individuals who may need to become more familiar with complex technologies. The risk-based authentication feature adapts and learns from various parameters or attributes, allowing for a more refined authentication policy. It helps maintain a secure environment by tailoring authentication measures based on user location or device. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal.

There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones."
"It is a good solution for token identification."
"The single sign-on feature is the most important."
"The most valuable feature is the SecurID."
"RSA Authentication Manager is the best available solution."

"The product's capabilities to protect cloud environments need improvement."
"RSA Authentication Manager is perfect. We do not see current missing products or enhancements yet emphasize the importance of a continuous development roadmap."
"There is room for improvement in the RSA support."
"Our major problem is the authentication via Microsoft, via Microsoft cloud systems. This is our major aim, to be a valued product for the future. The biggest problem is to work against cheap cloud systems. Cloud identification is our main problem at this time."
"Enhancing the user interface and expanding their marketing efforts in regions like Nigeria and West Africa could be beneficial."
"We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country."
"We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate it seven for the price."
"This solution won't cost much, as this would be free with the licensing from Microsoft."
"The solution is costly."
"As a new customer, the minimum cost would be four dollars, but you have room for negotiation, potentially bringing it down to as low as three dollars."
"The pricing is a little bit complicated because sometimes resellers are able to make prices that are too low. Our price, with a discount, is typically not as high as some of our competitors."
